Most definitely! The design of the Tectonic Rust code is quite unpolished so it might be a bit of a hassle to refactor it all in a way that works...

Hmm, that is a very strange error. Tectonic uses preallocated memory arrays that are relatively large compared to a minimal TeX engine, but are extremely manageable for modern machines. Are...

@akkuankka Apologies for the extremely slow follow-up here. I think the issue is that some warnings are issued through the core TeX engine, currently using the `ttbc_diag_begin_warning` function, but other...
