Polyglossia Error

Post by sieb »

Hi,
please excuse my noob question but I can't seem to find an answer in this forum or anywhere in the net.
I'm using Texniccenter Alpha 2 together with Miktex 2.8. As soon as I try to load the polyglossia package, even without any options, my file won't compile anymore. I pasted some very simple files from the forums, loading nothing but polyglossia but it always gives me an "undefined control sequence" error from polyglossia.sty line 84 as a result of this command: \newXeTeXintercharclass\xpg@normalclass

Any help would be very much appreciated.

V.

A fairly trivial statement. Provide a minimal working example (MWE) and attach the according log file to your next post.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but did you make sure that are you compiling with xelatex rather than latex or pdflatex?
