Snapshot 20070307
by Taco Hoekwater 10 May '12

10 May '12

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)

A native support for SVG
by TeXWorld 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hello, I'm a ConTeXt (and LaTeX too) user. When I want to make a vector picture, I'm trying most of the time to use programs who can export PGF/TikZ or PStricks. A lot of users like me don't "program" their vector pictures and use wysiwyg programs like Inkscape or Illustrator to generate PStricks ou PGF/TikZ code. Of course whatever program used, we can find a SVG export. SVG is the most spread and the most used format to store vector pictures. I request a native support for SVG in XeTeX and in LuaTeX, I think it would be a great thing. Of course when I want to include SVG pictures in my documents I can convert them to pdf before but the problem is that labels and texts won't be compiled : fonts will be wrong. What do you think about this ? Do you think it's something possible ?

Luatex beta 0.30.3 released
by Taco Hoekwater 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi all, I have just uploaded the archives for luatex 0.30.3. This release matches SVN revision #1587. This release fixes a really big bug, a few smaller ones, and has updates of png and mplib: * All hyphenation patterns that were anchored at the start or end of a word were ignored in luatex versions 0.25.X and 0.30.X (and possibly even earlier). * Repeated use of \language=-1 could result in "There is not room for another language". * The lua true coroutines patch (Coco) is now disabled on OpenBSD running on non-intel platforms. * The lua socket library is patched so that it will now compile on OpenSolaris. * Luatex now has libpng 1.2.33 and mplib 1.100 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
