New luatex mailing list announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

Hello everybody, The dev-luatex(a)ntg.nl list has seem more and more messages per day over the past months. We are of course very pleased with the growing interest in Luatex, and we believe the time has come to create a general usage mailing list. Karl Berry at TUG has set up a brand new mailing list for us that can be subscribed to via this URL: http://lists.tug.org/luatex or by sending an email message to luatex-subscribe(a)tug.org Of course questions about building and patching the Luatex engine should stay on dev-luatex, and questions regarding ConTeXt mkiv should stay on ntg-context. But the new list will be the best location for all general Luatex discussion and usage questions. A request for the people currently on the dev-luatex list: if you have an interest in Luatex but are not planning on becoming an active developer, please switch to the new list. Doing so will make life a bit easier for the active developers and packagers, not all of which are necessarily luatex users and interested in discussions. Have fun, Taco Hoekwater For the Luatex team

Modifying the LuaTeX Engine
by وفا خلیقی، Vafa Khalighi 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Now it has been some time that I have been studying the TeX-e-Parsi engine and have studied the changes that they have done in the actual TeX engine. TeX-e-Parsi is a localised version of TeX which has perfect bidirectional support and I hope that we can make these changes in the LuaTeX engine so we have perfect bidirectional support. TeX-e-Parsi adds about 100 Prmitive commands to the Original TeX primitive commands. I think we would not need all of these 100 commands but we will need the commands that have something to do with the directions. These extra 100 commands are: \LtoR, \RtoL, \accfactor, \activefont, \aftereverydisplay, \autoLRdirset, \autofontset, \autoLRset, \basefont, \billions, \everysemidisplay, \everysemimath, \everysemipar, \fonttwin, \hboxR, \ifLtoR, \ifRtoL, \ifautoLRdir, \ifautofont, \ifjoinable, \iflatin, \ifleftvbox, \ifcase, \ifonesof, \iftensof, \ifhundredsof, \ifthousands, \ifmillions, \ifbillions, \ifprehundreds, \ifprethousands, \ifpremillions, \ifprebillions, \ifsetlatin, \ifsetsemitic, \ifsetrawprinting, \ifsemiticchar, \ifsplited, \inputR, \jattrib, \lastcharjoinable, \lastcharunjoinable, \latin, \lcode, \leftvbox, \curboxdir, \curdirection, \curLRswch, \curspeech, \maketwin, \manLRset, \midruleinit, \midrulespec, \millions, \openinR, \openoutR, \rawprinting, \eqprinting, \rightvbox, \leftinput, \semiaccent, \semiaccentdown, \retainaccentchar, \semichar, \semichardef, \semiday, \semifam, \dblfont, \semifont, \semihalign, \semimonth, \semispaceskip, \semitic, \semixspaceskip, \semiyear, \thousands, \twinfont, \vboxjustification, \LRshowswitch, \LRmiscswitch, \eqwrite, \letlatinname, \letsemiticname, \leteqname, \eqchar, \eqcharif, \letnoteqname, \letnoteqchar, \letnoteqcharif, \endspecial, \beginspecial I am attaching the actual change file (tex.ch) with this email. would wou think that we could possibly define these new primitives in the LuaTeX engine? if you do that, then there will be no problem at all with bidirectional typesetting and LuaTeX will have most complete bidirectional algorithm for typesetting in TeX. Please feel free to comment about the commands. Thanks I trust my family jewels only to Linux _________________________________________________________________ Net yourself a bargain.

> Can you do these in luatex as well? Yes, but please give me some time. Let me first produce the document which explains TeX-e-Parsi's changes. At first glance: From the pdf's I do > not see anything that Omega could not do with ease 8 years ago. See the > attached from a journal done in luatex. The fact is, " I did not typeset them, those files just were some sample files already being there." Yes, the output you have sent looks super good. I think this is not a good way of comparing outputs. We should have a sample complex bidirectional text which contain everything in it (boxes, LTR and RTL texts, poems, colors, diagrams, footnotes and ...) and then compare the produced outputs. Please also note that I am using LaTeX not context. _________________________________________________________________ Time for change?

Luatex beta 0.31.0
by Taco Hoekwater 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi all, I have just uploaded the archives for luatex 0.31.0. This is just an intermediate release so that some testing can be done on the updated fontforge embedding. * There are new fields being generated by fontforge.to_table(), and one or two old ones have been removed. These fields are / will be documented in the manual, but very briefly: - MATH table and associated information are now exported (the main reason for the new fontforge code) - Baseline data is now exported (perhaps usable in lua code) - Multiple Master / Glyph variation data is now exported (but useless, for now) - Mac Feature (AAT) information is now exported (perhaps usable in lua code) - If (lookup) names were saved via the PfED table, these will the exported instead of the default, generated names. (as requested by Yannis) * dfont is now treated as an archive format just like ttc when it comes to fontforge.info(). NOTE: that does not mean you can actually use them, because the backend doesn't know yet how to embed dfont fonts in the PDF, that is on the TODO list for the next big beta (0.40.0). * The executables are a lot larger than before. That is because much more of fontforge is included than before. Likely this will stay this way, because this makes upgrading the ff code much easier, and it means that luatex/FF potentially understands more font formats (after upgrading the backend, of course) The archives (just binaries this time) can be downloaded from supelec as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ If you need the sources, please check out via anonymous svn: svn co svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.31.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco _______________________________________________ dev-luatex mailing list dev-luatex(a)ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-luatex
