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)

letterspacing and (no) ligatures
by Robert 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

Hi, here are two bugs: * in pdftex, \letterspacefont does not disable the ligatures, but this is what happens in luatex. * neither \tagcode nor \pdfnoligatures seem to have any effect (for non-letterspaced fonts, that is). Example: \input luaotfload.sty \font\x="Latin Modern Roman:+liga;+tlig" at 12pt \tagcode\x`\f=-1 % no effect \pdfnoligatures\x % ditto \x fi -- \letterspacefont\y\x 100 % killing the ligatures \y fi -- \bye Best regards, -- Robert

But tex.print removes the \par, perhaps because of | Each string argument is treated by TEX as a separate input line. Also interesting: | The very last string of the very last tex.print() command in a | \directlua will not have the \endlinechar appended, all others do. But a statement about \par filtering of tex.print() would be useful for the documentation. Minimal example (luatex --ini): \catcode`\{=1 \catcode`\}=2 \expandafter\def\expandafter\x\expandafter{% \directlua{tex.print('a \par b')}% }\show\x \csname @@end\endcsname\end Result: "a b" Yours sincerely Heiko Oberdiek

Proposal for a change in otfl-luat-dum.lua
by Beingalink 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

To be able to use fonts inside a dfont archive (Helvetica for example) I had to change line 59 in otfl-luat-dum.lua to " dfont = "truetype fonts",". When I updated my mactex 2010 installation a few days ago, the file got overwritten and I had to do the change again. I'm not sure if there is a better/cleaner solution but since this small change works for me, this could at least be used as a temporary fix.

mediabox accuracy
by Peter Rolf 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Hi, I have a preflighting problem caused by a badly rounded (too small) mediabox. This following snippet is taken from that pdf. 93 0 obj << /Type /Page /Contents 94 0 R /Resources 92 0 R /MediaBox [0 0 923.24 585.99] /TrimBox [ 0.0000 0.0000 923.2440 585.9925 ] /CropBox [ 0.0000 0.0000 923.2440 585.9925 ] /Parent 98 0 R >> The mediabox accuracy is swayed by \pdfdecimaldigits (here \pdfdecimaldigits=2), while the other boxes use a fixed accuracy (four points after the digit). I see two solutions: 1. use the same fixed accuracy for all boxes 2. use the same accuracy given by \pdfdecimaldigits for all boxes I guess the second solution can still cause problems due to runtime changes of \pdfdecimaldigits (unless this is a 'write once' register) Test file (ConTeXt) is attached. Tested with trunk beta-0.65.0-2011010308 (rev 4050) and beta-0.66.0-2011021618 (rev 4086) on Windows Vista. Peter
