Snapshot 20070307

Hi all, I decided to do a snapshot now instead of waiting for friday, because I want to start concentrating on something else besides font support issues. What's new: * Non-CID PostScript-based Opentype fonts are now combined over the entire document, and properly subsetted. The code is borrowed from xdvipdfmx with some minor adjustments Adding support for CID-keyed OpenType fonts would not be hard but at the moment I lack example input (and incentive). * A small extension to the virtual fonts structure: you can use f.fonts[1] = { 'id' = 38} to do a backreference to a previously defined font. This saves quite a few computations * There was a bug in the handling of \leaders in the output whereby it's width was taken to be twice what it should be while writing to the PDF, fixed now. * The font inclusion code is cleaned up a bit by Hartmut. * Some compilation problems were fixed. * There is (quite a bit of) debugging information printed out when OTPs are in use, because I am tracking down a bug reported by Idris. The input of each and every OTP step is shown on the terminal in a line line this: [57902][1568][58423][1568][58408][1568][58921] those are the decimal values of ocp i/o characters. If you don't need them, don't worry about it. Happy TeXing, Taco ----- Downloading and installation details: If you go to https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 you will see that there are three new released files: * luatex-snapshot-20070307.tar.bz2 This is the source tree. * luatex-snapshot-20070307-win32.zip A cross-compiled (mingw) windows binary. This is a web2c based binary, so it needs a texmf.cnf file (It will NOT work if you have only miktex installed). * luatex-snapshot-20070307-linux-i386.tar.bz2 An intel 32 linux binary (2.6.17)

Problems with texmf.cnf settings

Hi Hans! Hi Taco! Hi all! I am slowly getting at it. Don't ask me why, but now On Di, 25 Sep 2007, Hans Hagen wrote: > > export TEMXFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c and calling luatools --verbose --generate did work, well, sort of. All the cache files were generated in ~/luatex-cache. There is only ONE BIG PROBLEM: $ grep ^TEXMFDIST /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-{texlive,tetex} which leads to: ... LuaTools | locating list of /usr/share/texmf-{texlive LuaTools | locating list of tetex} ... without brace expansion. This is bad. I know TEXMFDIST should be ONE tree, but it CAN be a brace expanded list. It works. Well, in kpathsea, but not in luatools. So most scripts are not found. Can this be fixed?

building luatex with external lua headers/libs
by Norbert Preining 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hi Taco! First of all, thanks for the rework of the zzlib stuff, now it is easy to compile luatex with external zlib libs/headers. Now there is the wish that we compile luatex also with the external lua (5.1) libs/headers. Ok, I tried it, but it doesn't work. My first try on Debian was to replace all references in the source code to ../../lua51/ to lua5.1 because the header files are found here in /usr/include/lua5.1 This worked out quite well (for luatex-api.c), but it stumbled at lua/texluac.c where you try to load several header files which are NOT shipped in our lua51 devel packages. I took a look into the original source and there is written: If you want to install Lua locally, then do "make local". This will create directories bin, include, lib, man, and install Lua there as follows: bin: lua luac include: lua.h luaconf.h lualib.h lauxlib.h lua.hpp lib: liblua.a man/man1: lua.1 luac.1 These are the only directories you need for development. So it seems that you use more than they assumed to be useful. Now the simple question: Do you plan to change this, is there a realistic chance that this can be achieved? (Note that is the start, next are all the other libs ;-) In any case thanks a lot and all the best Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Norbert Preining <preining(a)logic.at> Vienna University of Technology Debian Developer <preining(a)debian.org> Debian TeX Group gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GANGES (n. rare : colonial Indian) Leg-rash contracted from playing too much polo.
