patch: fix character alignment on long tables
by Brian Landy 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

Hi, here is a patch for consideration. The character alignment code would fail on tables with more than 100 rows, as it was encoding the row/column number into a single integer 100*column+row. I modified the code to pass in the row and column using separate attributes. Thanks, Brian diff --git a/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.lua b/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.lua index 5d62d4e..51a8c52 100644 --- a/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.lua +++ b/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.lua @@ -65,8 +65,9 @@ typesetters.characteralign = characteralign local trace_split = false trackers.register("typesetters.characteralign", function(v) trace_split = true end) local report = logs.reporter("aligning") -local a_characteralign = attributes.private("characteralign") -local a_character = attributes.private("characters") +local a_characteralignrow = attributes.private("characteralignrow") +local a_characteraligncolumn = attributes.private("characteraligncolumn") +local a_character = attributes.private("characters") local enabled = false @@ -108,12 +109,11 @@ function characteralign.handler(originalhead,where) if not first then return originalhead, false end - local a = getattr(first,a_characteralign) - if not a or a == 0 then + local row = getattr(first,a_characteralignrow) + local column = getattr(first,a_characteraligncolumn) + if not row or row == 0 or not column or column==0 then return originalhead, false end - local column = div(a,100) - local row = a % 100 local dataset = datasets and datasets[column] or setcharacteralign(column) local separator = dataset.separator local list = dataset.list diff --git a/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.mkiv b/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.mkiv index 32b99ff..a9606ac 100644 --- a/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.mkiv +++ b/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-tal.mkiv @@ -24,7 +24,8 @@ \registerctxluafile{typo-tal}{1.001} -\definesystemattribute[characteralign][public] +\definesystemattribute[characteralignrow][public] +\definesystemattribute[characteraligncolumn][public] %D This mechanism is mostly meant for tables: %D @@ -56,10 +57,10 @@ % D % D \typebuffer \blank \getbuffer \blank -\unexpanded\def\signalcharacteralign#1#2{\attribute\characteralignattribute=\numexpr#1*\plushundred+#2\relax} +\unexpanded\def\signalcharacteralign#1#2{\attribute\characteraligncolumnattribute=#1\attribute\characteralignrowattribute=#2} \unexpanded\def\setcharacteralign #1#2{\ctxcommand{setcharacteralign(\number#1,"#2")}} \unexpanded\def\resetcharacteralign {\ctxcommand{resetcharacteralign()}} -\unexpanded\def\nocharacteralign {\attribute\characteralignattribute\attributeunsetvalue} +\unexpanded\def\nocharacteralign {\attribute\characteralignrowattribute\attributeunsetvalue\attribute\characteraligncolumnattribute\attributeunsetvalue} %D Mostly downward compatible: %D

ANNOUNCEMENT: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

[This announcement is dedicated to the 110% recovery and return of our visionary and fearless leader Hans Hagen: Three cheers to you, Hans!!!] Dear gang, It's my pleasure to announce the release of Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed, a monospaced font that extends TeX-Gyre Latin Modern Mono 10 Regular. It has been uploaded to CTAN, although I do not know how long it will take for the CTAN people to approve and publish it. Eventually it will make it's way into the ConTeXt minimals as well. Until then, you may use this private link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pulgaxshzr5bcmy/almfixed.zip README.txt is reproduced below. Future plans include both bold and proportional versions. Enjoy and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ==========README.txt========== Typeface Family: Arabic-Latin Modern Font: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed Style: Regular Version: 0.92 Author: Idris Samawi Hamid Date: August 5, 2014 License: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed is licensed under the GUST Font License with one important adjustment: It is requested, as well as legally *required*, that derived works be distributed only after changing the names of the fonts comprising this work. http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/licenses/GUST-FONT-LICENSE.txt/vi… Contains: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/doc/almfixed-dtk.pdf http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps; http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/tt; Some notes, in no particular order: 1. For more extensive documentation, examples, and background; see almfixed-dtk.pdf. 2. The final version number (per any future fixes, maintenance etc.) is intended to be Version 1.10. 3. Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed is an extension of TeX-Gyre Latin Modern Mono 10 Regular. Every glyph and opentype feature of the Latin Modern Mono has been retained, with minor improvements. On the other hand, we have changed the vertical metrics of the font. Although the Arabic script is designed to use the same x-size as Latin Modern Mono, the former script needs greater ascender and descender space. And there are cases (such as certain kinds of academic assignment and definitely mixed Latin and Arabic text) where Latin can use the extra vertical space as well. Otherwise, only the vertical metrics prevents this from being a drop-in replacement for Latin Modern Mono . Of course one can always set the vertical metrics in TeX to match LM Mono. 4. Every Arabic glyph in each Unicode-code block is supported (up to Unicode 7.0): Arabic, Arabic Supplement, Arabic Extended, Arabic Presentation-Forms A, and Arabic Presentation-Forms B. 5. This is a totally original design, using the Knuthian letters as inspiration. Indeed, virtually all Arabic characters were developed on the foundation of a study of the Latin Modern Mono letters 'l', 'r', and 'c'. In other words, this is a genuine extension of the original Knuthian design to an authentic and culturally authentic Arabic typing font. 6. There are two versions of the font: ps and tt. The Type~1 version is for print applications (and usually the default for TeX). The TrueType version is for on-screen applications such as text editors. Hinting in the tt version is much better for on-screen, at least on Microsoft Windows. 7. The most unique feature of Arabic-Latin Modern is in its treatment of vowels and diacritics. Each vowel and diacritic (ALM Fixed contains a total of 68 such glyphs) can now be edited horizontally within any text editor or processor. I believe this is the very first opentype Arabic font ever to have this capability. Editing complex Arabic texts will now be much easier to input and to proofread. 8. At least 12 additional format characters are included; see almfixed-dtk.pdf for details. Also designed a glyph representation for U+00A0 (no-break space), as well as U+25CC (dotted circle). 9. Arabic-Latin Modern Mono will be a boon to scholars, academics, coder editors, and anyone who wants to manage the entry of the wide array of Unicode Arabic text for editing, verbatim, or other purposes. ==============================
