comment XeLaTeX problem? Undefined control sequence.
\tl_case:Nnn is a rather new command. So probably your latex3 packages are outdated.

comment Geometry: showframe + landscape
I would say the word "bug" is a big harsh. landscape is doing some complicated page manipulations things and a simple option like showframe don't have to pay attention to such manipulations. It only would be nice.

comment Geometry: showframe + landscape
The problem is that landscape rotates only the textbody. The footer is now on the left and this means the meaning of values like "text width" and "text height" depends on if you are inside or outside the text body: Outside the text height is the length from header to footer and inside the height of the content? Imho would have to patch landscape (so that is adds a marker on landscape pages) and geometry to get a correct result.

comment Problem with font map
Well if the map file created is not the one used this is certainly related to the problem. The path starting with /root/.texlive2012/texmf-var sounds as if the map file in use has been created by updmap (and not updmap-sys). In this case you must update it with updmap.

comment Problem with font map
Check if the pdftex.map written by updmap-sys is actually the one used by pdftex (the path is in the log-file).

comment Fontspec pb since update May 20th, 2013 on MiKTeX2.9 and Win7(32bit)
@phg This seems to work if used together will all the newest version from TL13. But I wouldn't invest to much time in compability code. As soon as miktex updates the binary it will no longer be necessary and until then miktex can simply avoid to update lua packages.

comment Fontspec pb since update May 20th, 2013 on MiKTeX2.9 and Win7(32bit)
Miktex will revert to an older fontspec soon. (The newest version doesn't work with the luatex version of miktex and luatex will be updated only later this year.).

comment using a Postscript Type 1 font with fontspec and LuaLaTex on MacOSX
@phg: Great. Btw (seeing the fonts.readers): I have read with great delight in the documentation that some efforts have been made to create an interface for package authors. But imho it is unclear which part of the fonts table one should manipulate if some data is stored in more than one place.

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.

comment Ugly spacing in lstinline
Use columns=fullflexible.

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.
