tex.{get,set}math argument names
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hello, in tex/texmath.c, the `math_param_names` array is missing the entries `skewedfractionvgap` and `skewedfractionhgap`. This causes all array indices to be shifted and therefore a mismatch between the parameter names in Lua and the real names. For example: \showthe\Umathlimitabovevgap\displaystyle \showthe\Umathskewedfractionvgap\displaystyle \directlua{ print('limitabovevgap:', tex.getmath('limitabovevgap', 'display')) print('skewedfractionvgap:', tex.getmath('skewedfractionvgap', 'display')) } \bye results in > 1.11111pt. l.1 \showthe\Umathlimitabovevgap\displaystyle ? > 0.0pt. l.2 \showthe\Umathskewedfractionvgap\displaystyle ? limitabovevgap: 0 [\directlua]:1: bad argument #1 to 'getmath' (invalid option 'skewedfractionvga p') -- Marcel

Embedding minimally used TTF fonts
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hi, whenever LuaTeX loads a TTF font but only uses a single glyph, which happens to be the notdef glyph (GID=0), LuaTeX complains about (type 2): there are no glyphs in the subset Of course this isn't true, because the notdef *is* in the subset. This happens because LuaTeX always includes the notdef glyph, so it is never counted. The problem can be fixed by explicitly testing for this case.

linebreak_filter
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi everyone, in current LuaTeX versions, the result of `linebreak` filter is ignored and instead it is always treated as if no node has been returned (so the internal linebreak algorithm is applied). A minimal example: \directlua{ callback.register("linebreak_filter", function(nodes) return node.hpack(nodes) end) } Some very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long paragraph. \bye You would expect the whole paragraph to be set in a single line, but normal paragraph breaking is applies instead. This is caused by a change in revision 6686 from Mar 29 2018 "experimental) possible fix for for lua stack issue + consistent error handling (HH)". There in the function lua_linebreak_callback, the change return ret; } + lua_settop(Luas, s_top); p = lua_touserdata(Luas, -1); if (p != NULL) { a = nodelist_from_lua(Luas); try_couple_nodes(*new_head,a); ret = 1; } - lua_settop(Luas, s_top); return ret; has been applied. I am not sure what kind of stack issue this was supposed to fix, but as a side effect this moves the check for the node return value after `lua_settop`, so the return value is already removed from the stack when the test is done. So it is ignored. Best regards, Marcel Krüger

luatex and harfbuzz 2.5.1
by luigi scarso 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

In experimental there is now luatex 1.11.0 with harfbuzz 2.5.1 It follows from the development of harftex by K. Hosny. Please note that the code is 1) in experimental 2) marked as work in progress so it can stay as is, it can be changed , it can be removed completely. We have relaxed the constrain "only C" so a recent C++ is required; but we keep the contrain on the size the must be "small" --- the current size of the binary is around 8M so still good. Feedbacks are welcome: it would be nice to have it in texlive 2020 modulo that constrains are satisfied. -- luigi

On \maxdimen in LuaTeX
by Sjors Gielen 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi all, According to the TeX in Practice book, "the largest dimension value that can be represented in a TeX program is 16383.99999pt. This value is assigned to a dimension register \maxdimen [...]." This is a tiny bit smaller than 2^14 pt. As a layman TeX user, my naive guess is that in the compiler, floating point dimension registers probably use int32_t or some other fixed-length type, and the compiler implements its own floating point arithmetics. Either way, whenever an overflow is going to happen, the compiler prints a "! Dimension too large" error. This error also occurs when using LuaTeX. My gut feeling is that the current limit of (almost) 16384 pt is perhaps mostly historic; could it nowadays be loosened somehow? Perhaps the dimension calculations are already in Lua and the error is there for legacy reasons, or perhaps the calculations are still in C and if int32_t is indeed used, int64_t could conceivably raise the max dimensions to hundreds of kilometers, more than anyone would accidentally reach. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Best, Sjors Gielen P.S.: The discussion I am hoping to invoke is theoretical, but for background, my motivation comes from the use of the 'mdframed' package to split a large frame over many pages. Our automated testing system creates mdframed environments containing test steps and their outcomes; we have apparently crossed some new amount of steps where the virtual vbox size goes over \maxdimen before the vbox is split over multiple pages. If the error is ignored, the generated PDF looks fine. We can also end the mdframed environment every N steps and immediately start a new one, which is an acceptable workaround but I'm a bit unsatisfied that it's necessary. Perhaps this is better considered a bug in mdframed than in the typesetting engine, but I still find the theoretical question behind \maxdimen interesting, hence this e-mail.

[PATCH] Respect find_{output,write}_file result
by Marcel Fabian Krüger 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Hi, according to the documentation find_{output,write}_file should return the name of the to be written file. Currently this is mostly ignored and the original name is always used.
