Letterspacing in LuaTeX: Wants to create <font>+<spacing>ls
by Jonathan Sauer 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, when typesetting a document of mine using LuaTeX, I noticed that letterspacing seems not to work: LuaTeX runs mktexpk to create the letterspaced font and fails. pdfTeX simply extends the spacing of the base font. I created a small Plain-based example file which demonstrates the behaviour: ------------------------------- CUT --------------------------------- \pdfoutput1 \letterspacefont\ltenrm\tenrm10 \ltenrm This is a test. \tenrm This is a test. \bye ------------------------------- CUT --------------------------------- The log: ------------------------------- CUT --------------------------------- This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.10.2-2007081018 (Web2C 7.5.6) (LetterspaceFont.tex [1{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/upd map/pdftex.map}]kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+0/72 --dpi 72 cmr10+10ls mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for cmr10+10ls. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ) luaTeX warning (file cmr10+10ls): Font cmr10+10ls at 72 not found </usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb> Output written on LetterspaceFont.pdf (1 page, 5404 bytes). Transcript written on LetterspaceFont.log. ------------------------------- CUT --------------------------------- I have attached the resulting PDF; Acrobat 7 Mac displays a warning that some fonts were not found; Acrobat 8 Win simply uses Helvetica instead of the missing letterspaced font. It seems LuaTeX handles letterspacing like early versions of pdfTeX handle font expansion: By requiring an adjusted font file. Is this a bug? A feature? A reminder not to use letterspacing? ;-) Jonathan

test versions of context
by Norbert Preining 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi all, (cc-ing the usual suspects) I have created test versions of ConTeXt 2007.08.09, if you can give it a try: context deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ context/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ context/ On sid this should be no problem, for etch you need texlive and tex-common deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ tl2007/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ tl2007/ lmodern deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ lmodern/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ lmodern/ If you want to test the new context/luatex functionality you should also get the latest luatex package: luatex deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex/ (which is 0.10.2-2). It has already been uploaded to Debian but has to go through the NEW queue (which usually takes some time). Sorry NO etch version for now for luatex, I have to adapt the poppler patch first. I run several documents with the new context and it worked. Please report your success/failure to me, thanks a lot. Especially one with a bit of experience could test luatex/context combination, that would be great.

LuaTeX manual cannot be searched
by Jonathan Sauer 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hello, when I search the LuaTeX manual in Acrobat Reader 8 or Apples Preview.app bundled with OS X 10.4.2, I never get any results, even if the word I am searching for definitely exists (since I can read it on the page). Copying from the manual does not work as well; only some weird vertical slashes are copied. Jonathan

It is a great feeling when you finally found an elegant (well, relatively elegant, we're talking about TeX's macro language) way of implementing a macro. BTW: Is there a transcript of the video available? The video itself is a little bit too large for me (and possibly others) to download. Also, I find it easier to read a text than to listen to a talk. Faster, too. > but..."

So unless it really speeds things up, or makes better error handling possible, I do not see much use in parsing user input in Lua. Or am I forgetting something? Jonathan
