So, the thing that worries me here is that textmate uses pdftex instead of pdfetex.
Can you explain me the difference between pdftex and pdfetex. Because in my MacTeX 2007 installation pdfetex is just a symlink to pdftex.
No not really, because I don't really know it ;) This is all I found: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=etex
I actually thought that tex as such is not used anymore, replaced by etex, and for instance in my admittedly old (circa 2005) tex install if I type pdftex on the command line then I get: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3)
So it is very surprising to me that Christof would be getting TextMate to use pdftex instead.
