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)
