comment Encoding problems with custom LaTeX class (only on Windows 7/8). Why?
You can also use utf8 on windows. Your colleague only need to save their files in this encoding. All modern editors can do this. But it is simply a bad idea to put the encoding setting in a class file. The correct inputenc option depends on the document and so should also be set by the user in their document.

comment Beamercolortheme: How to set default color for all verbatim?
Redefine \verbatim@font. E.g. \makeatletter \renewcommand\verbatim@font{\normalfont\ttfamily\color{blue}} \makeatother

comment MikTeX and TeXmaker are unable to compile
The .txt file you are showing is the log-file. Adapt your settings so that windows doesn't hide the extension .log. The log-file shows that pdflatex is working fine. But your document seems to have no content and so doesn't generate a page. Write something after \begin{document} in tex.tex.

comment URLs in bibliography: LaTeX not breaking line as expected
biblatex has various counters which lets you change the penalties for breaks in various places in an url. E.g. by enlarging biburllcpenalty you can allow latex to break after lowercase letters.

comment Cannot update and run my PDF file
The log file is from 12 MAY 2013, so it is not from a current run. Beside this neither the log-file nor the document show some faults.

comment Why do some fonts work and others don't in LaTeX?
Don't use inputenx or inputenc with xelatex. Beside this: try to make your question more concrete by concentrating on one problem and make a complete but minimal example for this problem.

Use columns=fullflexible.

comment MikTeX and TeXmaker are unable to compile
And what does the log-file say? Regarding the file not found error: Make sure to add the extension .tex when saving the file.

comment \partpage doesn't fit onto the slide
You can try \documentclass[hyperref=breaklinks]{beamer} but imho it would be better to use pdflatex and \usepackage{epstopdf}. This will convert your eps-files on the fly (if your system is not to old).

comment using a Postscript Type 1 font with fontspec and LuaLaTex on MacOSX
@phg I tried to load a pfb in TL13 through an absolute path. luaotfload could find the font but not use the font itself. After I made run an update of TL13 (which included a luaotfload update) I now get an error message: ! LuaTeX error .../texmf-dist/tex/luatex/luaotfload/luaotfload-loaders.lua:17: a ttempt to index global 'readers' (a nil value). There is no problem with open type fonts.

comment using a Postscript Type 1 font with fontspec and LuaLaTex on MacOSX
I don't think that luaotfload (used by fontspec) handles type1 fonts - at least not the version from texlive 2012. You will have to create a tfm file and use it in the "standard" way.

Make a small but complete example that demonstrates your problem.

comment MiKTeX’s LuaLaTeX and minitoc: “I can't write on file …mtc”
@egreg: It works for me with TL too. But as I realized as I looked into this luatex bug tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=827 there are slight differences regarding openin between the various engines and systems so I knew where to look.

comment Calc and \settocdepth break \tikzexternalize
@daleif: In the "graphic generation run" externalize throws everything away that is in the document body but (naturally) keeps the preamble. \settocdepth in the preamble calls an \addtocontents which is not ignored in this run and executed in the (special) \shipout of externalize where the fragile \setcounter breaks.

comment Biblatex: Can We Delete `\autocite` From Biblatex?
Even if both commands were actually identical: having both commands means that you can be a more lazy while typing. I like it if commands and options exit in more than one variant and you can choose more intuitively a suitable variant for the current context.

comment pdflatex: Handling of fonts when including other pdfs
It is smart enough but sometimes this can lead to problem. See e.g. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/50829/… and other answers about \pdfinclusioncopyfonts
