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)

XML abilities in LuaTeX
by TeXWorld 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hello, I'm new to LuaTeX and Lua in general and I try to find tools to process datas stored in XML files. I want to do this with LaTeX (pdfLuaLaTeX in TeXLive 2008) but there's no tool. Contrary to LaTeX, ConTeXt does have abilities to work with XML files. Do you think it could be possible to have LuaTeX equipped with such abilities one day ? I read in the LuaTeX reference that LuaTeX comes with modules such as LuaZIP that is really a good thing. Do you think it would be possible to have something like the LuaXML module added to luatex too ? Jack

That page is in need of a bit of updating besides, and it is only in texlive, not in the mpost repository. At the least, the TL page needs to be merged back (metapost repo has only "mp.1", which looks like the original page Hobby wrote, back in the nineties). I would be glad if someone else could take charge of the few needed updates (hence CC mp-implementors and Sanjoy). > Thanks, > Manuel. > > PS: do you plan to provide a man page for luatex in the future? Not an exhaustive one for sure, but maybe a generic one that just lists the commandline switches and points to the manual (like pdftex's man page) would be good. It would be great for me if someone else would step in, though. I don't like creating man pages and never have. In fact, I disliked troff so much that I was willing to learn a completely new system called 'tex' instead ;), (hence CC dev-luatex) Best wishes, Taco

\jobname with spaces
by Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard 01 May '09

01 May '09

Hi, Consider the following source file \edef\x{\jobname} \show\x Run it with pdftex, you get: > \x=macro: ->"foo bar". With luatex (0.40): > \x=macro: ->foo bar. This is a problem eg when using LaTeX when it tries to \input\jobname.aux. Regardless of any particular format, there is a consistency problem with pdftex, which should be fixed, imo by making luatex behave the same as pdftex, namely quote the file name in \jobname. Thanks, Manuel.

luatex beta 0.40.0
by Taco Hoekwater 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, I have just uploaded luatex 0.40.0 to the foundry server, and will commit the source code to texlive later today. What's new: * The embedded MPlib is updated to version 1.200. * Texlua would crash if run font.read_tfm() was used. * Luatex would crash on empty \patterns. * Lots of small C code cleanups. * \textdir inside a \hbox dir *** was wrong earlier. * 0.39.0 introduced a bug that would make luatex crash whenever font expansion was used. * Font tables returned by define_font can now have a key named 'cache' that controls the internal lua font table caching. * There is no longer a need for an explicit --progname if there is no input file given. The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.40.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco
