Fails to load certain Chinese fonts
by Yanrui Li 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, In MkIV of last beta version (2008.10.03 23:45), when I was loading certain Chinese fonts such as AdobeSongStd-Light or SimSun, LuaTeX happened to be interrupted. As the following example: \definefontfeature [zh][mode=node,script=hang,lang=zhs] \definefontsynonym [Song][name:AdobeSongStd-Light][features=zh] \definefont[myfont][Song at 12pt] \starttext \myfont 中文~English~之间的间隔\par 中文\;English\;之间的间隔 \stoptext I got such informations of error: load otf | loading: /usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeSongStd-Light.otf load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) MtxRun | fatal error, message: luatex: execution interrupted Now, I can't compile any Chinese document using MkIV.

These problems which include lousy code of certain Chinese fonts in pdf that is generated by MkIV, seem to connect with LuaTeX. >From revision 1525 to 1535, LuaTeX can always work very well except text of using SimSun font is lousy code in pdf. After cleaning $TEXMFCACHE, I compiled revision 1540 of LuaTeX and used it, and then I encountered fails to load almost Chinese fonts. However, if I don't clean $TEXMFCACHE generated by revision 1535 of LuaTeX and use revision 1541, there is no any problem.

And runs fine on linux here. So, seems to be windows specific. Are the windows binaries in the minimals up to date?

Hallo, I have a lot of problems with the following example: ------------------------------------------------ \usetypescriptfile[type-exa] \usetypescript[iwona][ec] \setupbodyfont[iwona,11pt] \startMPenvironment%[global] \usetypescript[iwona][ec] \setupbodyfont[iwona,8pt] \stopMPenvironment \startuseMPgraphic{Wochentage} save x,y ; z0 = (3cm,6cm) ; for i:=1 upto 6: z[i] = z[i-1] rotatedaround((3cm,3cm),720/7) ; endfor ; label.top(\sometxt{Samstag}, z0) ; label.lft(\sometxt{Donnerstag}, z1) ; label.lrt(\sometxt{Dienstag}, z2) ; label.urt(\sometxt{Sonntag}, z3) ; label.ulft(\sometxt{Freitag}, z4) ; label.llft(\sometxt{Mittwoch}, z5) ; label.rt(\sometxt{Montag}, z6) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuseMPgraphic{Tierkreis} save x,y ; z0 = (4cm,8cm) rotatedaround((4cm,4cm),15) ; for i:=1 upto 11: z[i] = z[i-1] rotatedaround((4cm,4cm),30) ; endfor ; label.ulft(\sometxt{Zwillinge}, z0) ; label.ulft(\sometxt{Stier}, z1) ; label.lft(\sometxt{Widder}, z2) ; label.lft(\sometxt{Fische}, z3) ; label.llft(\sometxt{Wassermann}, z4) ; label.llft(\sometxt{Steinbock}, z5) ; label.lrt(\sometxt{Schütze}, z6) ; label.lrt(\sometxt{Skorpion}, z7) ; label.rt(\sometxt{Waage}, z8) ; label.rt(\sometxt{Jungfrau}, z9) ; label.urt(\sometxt{Löwe}, z[10]) ; label.urt(\sometxt{Krebs}, z[11]) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \useMPgraphic{Wochentage} Bla \useMPgraphic{Tierkreis} \stoptext ------------------------------------------------ 1. The labels of the first graphic are xscaled (randomly) when the second graphic is included. Comment the second, and the first is ok. What I am doing wrong here? This seems to be ok with luatex. 2. The settings in \startMPenvironment do not use the smaller font size [8pt] without [global]. And the outside Text (Bla) remains not big [11pt] with [global]. How can I toggle the two sizes differently? 3. After editing the mp-code I allways have to purge files between two runs. Is this normal? Thanks for your help Wolfgang

off-topic : about smultron
by Dalyoung Jeong 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Dear all, I hope that you understand a little bit off topic question. Recently, I installed smultron and set it up to use ConTeXt Minimals following the instruction in ConTeXt wiki. Basically it worked. But the command result window didn't properly show what is going on during the compilation. But it appeared some time but it didn't some other time. I couldn't figure out when it did and when it didn't. Even in the case that it showed the result, it didn't refresh after I compiled the same file again. Does some one help me to fix it? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

hz MkIV
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi, in MkIV hz is bound to the found (thus the speed increase). Now, how do I assign different degrees of hz to different areas? Say, moderate hz in the normal text and more drastic in controlled situation, like this: % main text: \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupalign[block,hanging,hz] % and in controlled situation: \setupwhatever[align=hzXXL,style=...] This doesn't work: fonts.expansions.classes['NormalQuality'] = { stretch = 1, shrink = 1, step = .5, vector = 'default', factor = 1 } fonts.expansions.classes['DrasticQuality'] = { stretch = 2, shrink = 2, step = .5, vector = 'default', factor = 1 } \definefontfeature[hz][default] [protrusion=pure,expansion=sstquality,mode=node,script=latn] \definefontfeature[hzXXL][default] [protrusion=pure,expansion=sstquality,mode=node,script=latn] \usetypescript[postscript] \definetypeface[postscript][rm][serif][times][default][features=hz]% <- what to do with hzXXL ???

Hi, in current luatex snapshot (LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.0-2008093012, ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.03 23:45) hz seems to be broken (unless I made a typo here): \definefontfeature[hz][default] [protrusion=pure,expansion=quality,mode=node,script=latn] \usetypescript[postscript] \definetypeface[postscript][rm][serif][times][default][features=hz] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] \setupalign[line,block,hanging,hz] \starttext \showframe \input tufte \stoptext Steffen

highlight VB typesetting
by Zhaopeng Xing 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi, I want to type a VB code file named "vba.bas" in context. After read the manual, the following codes seems not working well for me. Any suggestion? There are two features desired: language-specific color typing and small style. Thanks. \definetyping[vb] \setuptyping[vb][style=small,option=color] \typefile{assignment1.bas}{vb} -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute
