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)

aleph -> luatex
by karl＠freefriends.org 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

The Aleph team has declared that Aleph development has been halted for some time; efforts are concentrated on luatex now. Therefore they recommend that TeX Live simply make the "aleph" executable a link to luatex. So I plan to implement that recommendation. If this is going to cause insuperable problems for anyone, tell the Aleph folks so they can convince you otherwise :). BTW, there is no plan to remove or significantly change Omega; essentially the same binary and support for Omega will be present as in past years. We (notably Akira) have already integrated the updates from Knuth's "2008 tune-up". Best, Karl

As long as it still works for me, build issues will be way at the bottom of my todo list: I don't understand (nor like) much of autofoo, so I am lacking in the motivation department as well as in the time schedule. Meanwhile, if you (or anyone else) has the time, knowledge and motivation to help with this kind of thing, I am more-than-willing to apply patches :-) Best wishes, Taco

compile flags in luatex
by Hans van der Meer 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

When I compile luatex at first my CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS environment variables are honoured, but after starting to compile files in luafontforge I see the default "g -O2" coming, not my settings. Why is this? Is something somewhere reset? I was not able to spot it in the files. Hans van der Meer
