There's a bug filed upstream; editing /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/hitex/base/hiplainpage.tex to change "prefered" to "preferred" does work for a local build. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1051144 On Sat, 2 Sep 2023 10:09:10 -0500 Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio@earthlink.net> wrote:
