luatools --ini plain
by Hans van der Meer 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

This is something I don't understand. In the mk.pdf manual on luatex on page 21 there is the following example: luatools --ini plain Instead of the expected output 120,808 plain.fmt etc. I get an error: "There is no lua initialization file found. ..." Running "luatools --generate" does not help. There is a hint: "This file can be forced by the --progname directve, or specified with --luaname,..." How can I get a "lua initialization file" in order to not have the error. And how do I interpret the hint, as the text of the error message is too cryptic for me to understand. Hans van der Meer

hyphenating bug
by Yue Wang 13 Apr '08

13 Apr '08

Hi Taco and Hans I was typesetting the manual of a software developed by me using ConTeXt while the problem occurred. I try to minimized the problem and the result is attached. luatex.pdf --- pdf produced by luatex 0.25.2 It seems luatex forgets to hyphenating capital words. I am not sure whether it is a bug of LuaTeX or ConTeXt. the output of pdftex 1.40.3 seems fine using the same output file described below. --input file \starttext THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'', WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

Vertical typesetting is not a priority at the moment. At this stage, getting bidirectionality as solid as a rock takes precedence (almost there IMO). So if you find any bidi bugs... ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Incorrect UTF-8 decoding in \luaescapestring (+ fix)
by Jonathan Sauer 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hello, the following PlainTeX example illustrates the problem: %&luatex \directlua0{% % The following character is DESERET CAPITAL LETTER LONG I, % Unicode 0x10400, encoded in UTF-8 as F0 90 90 80: local s = '\luaescapestring{𐐀}'% A % local s = '𐐀'% B for c in string.bytes(s) do texio.write_nl(c) end }% \end (A) results in: This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.0-2008031419 (Web2C 7.5.6) (EscapeUTF8.tex! Pool contains an invalid utf-8 sequence . l.4 local s = '\luaescapestring{????} '% A ? 240 144 144 128 239 191 189 ) No pages of output. Transcript written on EscapeUTF8.log. (B) results in: This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.0-2008031419 (Web2C 7.5.6) (EscapeUTF8.tex 240 144 144 128 ) No pages of output. Transcript written on EscapeUTF8.log. It seems that \luaescapestring does not handle long UTF-8 sequences correctly. The additional three bytes above -- 239-191-189 or EF-BF-BD -- encode Unicode character FFFD -- REPLACEMENT CHARACTER -- in UTF-8, the character LuaTeX inserts when encountering an invalid UTF-8 sequence. I think that the error lies in luatex.web, line 10911: @d unicode_incr(#)==if str_pool[#]>@"F0 then #:=#+4 else if str_pool[#]>@"E0 then #:=#+3 else if str_pool[#]>@"C0 then #:=#+2 else incr(#) Now instead of skipping the entire four-byte-sequence, only the first three bytes are skipped and the last byte, hex 80, is left for processing as the next character. Since 0x80 represents an invalid UTF-8 sequence, LuaTeX displays above error message and continues with 0xFFFD. So I think '>=' should be used, instead of '>': @d unicode_incr(#)==if str_pool[#]>=@"F0 then #:=#+4 else if str_pool[#]>=@"E0 then #:=#+3 else if str_pool[#]>=@"C0 then #:=#+2 else incr(#) I tried this modification, and the error disappeared along with the additional three bytes. Jonathan P.S: How does the bug tracker work? I tried to register some weeks ago, but never got the confirmation mail with the password. When trying to register again now, it says the username is already being used, even though non-activated accounts should be purged after a week.

Text direction in PDF mode
by Wolfgang Schuster 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi, I tried Alephs body and textdir commands with LuaTeX and the output in DVI mode is as I want (the text is written from top to bottom and left to right). The same example in PDF mode did not work, the text is written on the left side and every new line written over the first line. %\pdfoutput=1 \hsize=8cm \vsize=8cm \bodydir RTR %\pagedir RTR \pardir RTR \textdir RTR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 \bye Greetings, Wolfgang

another stupid question ...
by Norbert Preining 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

... since here are so many so intelligent people ;-) On unix I can remove the current interpreter, ie I can do #!/usr/bin/perl unlink("/usr/bin/perl"); and this will succeed (if I have permissions). On windows (again) this doesn't work. I am running the uninstall program which is a texlua script but the rmdir /q ... of bin/win32 does not succeed. The texlua script is invoked via usual win32 methods, i.e. the extension .texlua is linked to the texlua interpreter, and the .texlua extension is added to the PATHEXT to be searched, and bin/win32 is in the PATH env var. Well, in the worst case we have to live with a rogue texlua.exe somewhere. Any other ideas?

writing a rmdir function in texlua
by Norbert Preining 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hi all, for the TeX Live uninstaller I am trying to write a rmdir function for win32 in texlua which should work like rm -rf on unix. My first try was: function rmdir(dirn) if os.type == 'windows' then -- we have to replace all / with \ foo = string.gsub(dirn, '/', '\\') ret = os.spawn({"rmdir", "/s", "/q", foo}) else ret = os.spawn({"rm", "-rf", dirn}) end if ret then return ret else io.stderr:write(filename..': removing '..dirn.." didn't work\n") end return ret end (No checks by now, will come later ...) But that didn't work and did spit out always the io.stderr message. Any suggestion how to do that? Or is there some code already somewhere around in the ConTeXt project? Thanks and all the best Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Norbert Preining <preining(a)logic.at> Vienna University of Technology Debian Developer <preining(a)debian.org> Debian TeX Group gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Queasy but umbowed.
