TUG Lucida
by Adam Lindsay 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

I've finally gotten around to completing the Lucida-TUG typescripts, to enable using the TUG-distributed Lucida fonts 1) without renaming the files on installation and 2) with the Lucida Basic option. I've enclosed the TeX files, but you can check out the unremarkable PDFs at: http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/TUGLucida.zip http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/TUGLucidaTeXOnly.zip Comments? Questions? Testers? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

dependencies
by Hans Hagen 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

Hi Taco & Patrick, Attached is version of ctxtools that provides ctxtools --dependencies it takes the context.tex file and analyzes in the order of loading what macros are defined (we can probably throw away the names that match \\.[!?@]) by default i generate an xml file; taco suggested that maybe patrick can use this file as a prelude to an api interface (crosslinking sources) when i have time i will use this analysis to check dependencies in the loading order (i'm sure that some forward referencing has crept in, if only because of splitting files) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying out a new way running the minimal trees, and just updated to today's 17:41 version... (/Users/Shared/mintex/texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang-de.pat ! Bad \patterns. \dobuildtextaccent #1#2->{ \let \char \normalaccent #1\let \char \normalchar #2} l.113 .ge5r[odiaeresis] Does anyone else get this, or did I screw something up along the way? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Release testing issues
by Taco Hoekwater 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi all, Over the past ten days, there have been 7 new context releases, of which probably only three would have been necessary if there would not have been silly bugs embedded in the new code. In fact, we are still awaiting an eight upload (for that extra space after \quote and \quotation). When there is a bug found or a request made on the mailing list, usually Hans (and sometimes me) will post a bit of code that *should* remove a bug or implement a new feature. We both expect the original requestor to test that bit of code for side-effects (since we usually do not have enough time to do thorough testing ourselves). And that's where it goes wrong, of course. Beginners at ConTeXt are often incapable to test anything except the immediate intended effect (and not always even that). I wanted to bring this up because I hope that some of you can find a way to help testing those new bits (or find other ideas to solve the problem without placing too much of a burden on Hans' time). A possible side-effect could be the organic growth of a set of regression test files, an idea that has been talked about before. Greetings, Taco

Sorry, I hadn't been watching that. I've suggested texnansi as a starting point, at least within ConTeXt. What symbols do people want that *aren't* within texnansi? (Hint: Here are some symbols present in some Unicode-y fonts, but there's really little pattern to the coverage within "typical" professional fonts: http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/UnicodeSymbolDemo.pdf ) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

[Fwd: new fonts from SIL]
by Taco Hoekwater 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hi, Nelson Beebe forwarded this to tex-live, but tex-live 2006 is still very, very far away. Is anybody interested in making a context module/typescript for this font, perhaps? :) Taco -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tex-live] new fonts from SIL Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 08:04:51 -0700 (MST) From: Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe(a)math.utah.edu> To: tex-live(a)tug.org CC: beebe(a)math.utah.edu The Unicode list this morning carried this announcement, and I think that we should examine the license to see whether it could be included in future TeX Live distributions (also, list readers who are Debian folks, with their different views of licensing, may wish to do the same): >> ... >> SIL International is pleased to announce the official release of the >> Charis SIL Unicode fonts (http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILfont) Charis >> SIL provides a single Unicode-based font family that contains >> near-complete coverage of all the characters defined in Unicode 4.1 for >> Latin and Cyrillic-based writing systems, whether used for phonetic or >> orthographic needs.

context release packaging
by Taco Hoekwater 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi Hans (esp.), Please consider: * Cont-pat.zip (Standalone distribution of pattern files) Is it not sensible to remove this? Most people should have a new one with patterns included now, and when not, it is wiser to let them upgrade their base files as well. * Cont-msw.zip (Font support files for microsoft verdana and arial) I suggest merging the windows support files with cont-fnt.zip. * Cont-ext.zip (Third party ConTeXt additions) This is nearly empty. I guess at least nath and amsl should be added, since they are widely used. Also, I'ld like to see the bib module moved to this zip. WDYT? * Cont-win.zip (texmfstart.exe for windows) Is this still needed/does it work to have only texmfstart as executable and the others as .rb? (I just don't know). * Cont-lmt.zip (Latin Modern font distribution) Now that Latin Modern is becoming more stable, perhaps this is no longer needed? Cheers, Taco
