cyrillic glyphs
by Mojca Miklavec 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hello Hans, According to AGLFN at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/aglfn13.txt consider for example the glyph 0420;afii10034;CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER ER in char-def.lua you have [0x0420]={ ["adobename"]="afii0x2732", ["category"]="lu", ["cjkwd"]="a", ["contextname"]="cyrillicR", ["description"]="CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER ER", ["lccode"]=0x0440, ["linebreak"]="al", ["unicodeslot"]=0x0420, -- Р }, So: ["adobename"]="afii0x2732", "instead of" afii10034. What do you suggest? I guess that adobename might need to have multiple entries anyway. Mojca

Luatex beta 0.22.1 released
by Taco Hoekwater 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hi all, I have just uploaded the archives for luatex 0.22.1, that is a bugfix release for 0.22.0 Fixes and changes: * The macnames.c source file for building ttf2afm is restored. * "make depend" in luatexdir now works again * luatex sometimes crashed because it attempted to expand an already expanded font * luatex aborted when --progname was given but no format name. It now sets the format name to the given progname in that case * sometimes paragraphs with near-empty lines could cause a crash * img.supportedtypes() had a bug causing it to crash * img.supportedtypes() has been renamed to img.types for consistency * img.boxes() added, returns strings representing bounding boxes * img.node() added, returns a whatsit node cf. \pdfrefximage * node.write() now accepts multiple arguments * the program_name_set switch was not set automatically from C, causing errors unless lua code called kpse.set_program_name() explicitly * kpse.set_program_name() can now be called more than once in a single run. * os.spawn{...} and os.exec{...} could cause crashes because of a memory allocation error The archives (source and binaries) can be downloaded from supelec, as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

why my first idea of experimental minimals didn't work out :)
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

Hello (this is for amusement only - an interesting experience), if anyone would like to know why the idea with experimental branch of minimals didn't work out in its current form (I wanted to have a full tree and a separated tree with fixes only, but it took files from current and experimental in an arbitrary order). This is an answer from the mailing list: ------ Duh. I realize now that it's perfectly reasonable for you to be able to reproduce the problem while I can't. Versions 2.6.9 and earlier of rsync sort the file-list using the C library's quicksort, an unstable sort, so the results in case of duplicate files are highly sensitive to both the C library implementation and the order of directory entries in the source (which in turn is sensitive to the filesystem implementation). You probably have both a different C library and a different filesystem than I do. In any case, since rsync 3.0.0pre1, the default file-list sorting algorithm is a mergesort, which is stable, so files from earlier source arguments take priority. If you upgrade to an rsync 3.0.0pre* version, your scenario should work consistently. If it doesn't, that's a bug we should try to fix.

tex-text (XeTeX) & trep, tlig (LuaTeX)
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hello Hans, I compared tex-text and trep, tlig. Since you map features=default to trep and tlig, and both of them further to tex-text (twice), tex-text could be split in two parts as well, so that you can make one-to-one mapping. Should I make those changes and seny you the two files? (Twice 300 bytes to be added to ConTeXt + souce, which is approximately the same as written below.) 1.) TREP function fonts.initializers.base.otf.texquotes(tfm,value) tfm.characters[0x0022] = table.fastcopy(tfm.characters[0x201D]) tfm.characters[0x0027] = table.fastcopy(tfm.characters[0x2019]) tfm.characters[0x0060] = table.fastcopy(tfm.characters[0x2018]) end Corresponding lines from XeTeX: U+0022; ; ; >;U+201D; ; " -> right double quote U+0027; ; ; <>;U+2019; ; ' -> right single quote U+0060; ; ; <>;U+2018; ; ` -> left single quote 2.) TLIG { "endash", "hyphen hyphen" }, U+002D U+002D; ; ; <>;U+2013; ; -- -> en dash { "emdash", "hyphen hyphen hyphen" }, U+002D U+002D U+002D;<>;U+2014; ; --- -> em dash { "quotedblright", "quotesingle quotesingle" }, U+0027 U+0027; <>;U+201D; ; '' -> right double quote { "quotedblleft", "grave grave" }, U+0060 U+0060; <>;U+201C; ; `` -> left double quote { "quotedblbase", "comma comma" } U+002C U+002C; <>;U+201E; ; ,, -> DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK missing from tex-text (not needed so far) { "quotedblleft", "quoteleft quoteleft" }, 0x2018 0x2018 <> 0x201C ; 2x left single quote -> left double quote { "quotedblright", "quoteright quoteright" }, 0x2019 0x2019 <> 0x201D ; 2x right single quote -> right double quote 3.) Only in XeTeX's tex-text (Do people need it?): U+0021 U+0060; <>;U+00A1; ; !` -> inverted exclam U+003F U+0060; <>;U+00BF; ; ?` -> inverted question U+003C U+003C; <>;U+00AB; ; << -> LEFT POINTING GUILLEMET U+003E U+003E; <>;U+00BB; ; >> -> RIGHT POINTING GUILLEMET Plus, there's a little problem with this patch that I have sent you (it's not in stable yet, so it might make sense to fix it before releasing): \definefontsynonym[Dummy] [name:\typescripttwo] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyItalic] [name:\typescripttwo/I] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyBold] [name:\typescripttwo/B] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic][name:\typescripttwo/BI][features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyCaps] [name:\typescripttwo] [features=smallcaps] The problem is that "features=default" implies "script=latn", which is not always desired. A copy of mapping=tex-text comes from tlig & trep substitution. I assume that script=latn;language=dflt;+liga;+kern; is always on by default (were needed), so basically mapping=tex-text is the only thing that really needs to be added. [Iwona-Bold.otf]:script=latn;language=dflt;+liga;+kern;mapping=tex-text;mapping=tex-text; Some (non-latin) fonts complain when one requests non-existing features. Also, it might be handy to be able to define \definetypeface[basic][rm][Xserif][whatever][script=arab,language=...] (for now forget that one, interface needs to be extended once and properly). \definefontsynonym[a][file:Iwona-Bold.otf][mapping=tex-text] doesn't work, so the only way seems to be \definefontfeature[xetex][mapping=tex-text] \definefontsynonym[a][file:Iwona-Bold.otf][xetex] I have tried to use \definefontfeature[xetex][mapping=tex-text] \definefontfeature[caps][+smcp] \definefontsynonym[a][file:Iwona-Bold.otf][features={xetex,caps}] but that didn't work.

Hi all! The new packages uploaded some time ago by myself to Debian unstable have been backported to etch are as usual available on people.debian.org. Don't forget that you will also need lmodern and context for texlive-full.
