node.setglue broken in LuaMetaTeX
by Max Chernoff 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Hi Hans, Using node.setglue in LuaMetaTeX sets all of the glue components to zero. This example: \startluacode local stretch_order = "stretch_order" local shrink_order = "shrink_order" if status.luatex_engine == "luametatex" then stretch_order = "stretchorder" shrink_order ="shrinkorder" end local glue = node.new "glue" print(node.getglue(glue)) node.setglue(glue, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) print(node.getglue(glue)) glue.width = 1 glue.stretch = 2 glue.shrink = 3 glue[stretch_order] = 4 glue[shrink_order] = 5 print(node.getglue(glue)) node.setglue(glue, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) print(node.getglue(glue)) \stopluacode produces this output in MkIV: 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 but this output in MkXL: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 Thanks, -- Max

\jobname and \doifelse
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Nov '22

Dear list, using current latest (2022.10.22 11:23), I have the following sample: \starttext \doifelse{\jobname}{a} {yes}{no} \jobname \startluacode if tex.jobname == "a" then context("yes") else context("no") end \stopluacode \stoptext I get "no" as in TeX and "yes" with Lua, being "a.tex" the source file. The TeX conditional used to work before. Am I missing something or have I hit a bug? I’m on Linux64 (if this may be relevant). Many thanks for your help, Pablo

OpenBSD binaries
by damien＠thiriet.web4me.fr 04 Nov '22

Hi, I have two question regarding OBSD binaries: 1) the building farm holds two binaries: current -stable version (or -release?) and the previous version. Since upgrading OBSD with sysupgrade is very easy, but AFAIU works only to upgrade from version (n-1) to n where n is current relase number, I wonder if it wouldn't easier to maintain binaries only for the current version: keeping the OS up to date is strongly recommended. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors This might ease OBSD binaries management. What do other OBSD users think about it? 2) AFAIU, sources are now available for downloading. I understand it would be possible to make a package build for my system, so that I can upgrade OBSD without having to wait for the next binaries upload. * binaries are quite small, so they should compile quite quickly. Am I right? * I believe Mojca has already a compiling script. Where can I find it? * which adress should I point to fetch the sources for compilation? Best regards, Damien Thiriet

font features

Hi, is there an easy way to get a list of all features that a font has and typeset a sample text to see the result of every single feature? There probably is, but I couldn't find anything... All best Thomas

Bug in math alignment
by Otared Kavian 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Hi Hans and Mikael, I think there is an issue with the size of math fonts in \frac when used in math alignments, as it is is shown in the following example. %% begin bug-mathalignment.tex \definemathmatrix[alignedcases] [align={1:right,2:left,3:left}, distance=3pt, left={\left\{}, right={\right.}, style=\displaystyle] \starttext Consider this \placeformula \startformula \startalignedcases \NC - \Delta u \NC = 0 \NC \qquad\text{in }\, \Omega \NR \NC \frac{\partial u}{\partial {\bi n}} \NC = V u + \phi \NC \qquad\text{on }\, \partial\Omega. \NR \stopalignedcases \stopformula or this (with\type{\displaystyle} added) \placeformula \startformula \startalignedcases \NC - \Delta u \NC = 0 \NC \qquad\text{in }\, \Omega \NR \NC \displaystyle\frac{\partial u}{\partial {\bi n}} \NC = V u + \phi \NC \qquad\text{on }\, \partial\Omega. \NR \stopalignedcases \stopformula Actually, one should have this \startformula \frac{\partial u}{\partial {\bi n}} = V u + \phi \qquad\text{on }\, \partial\Omega. \stopformula If one adds \type{\displaystyle} both to the numerator and denominator of \type{\frac}, the result is correct: \placeformula \startformula \startalignedcases \NC - \Delta u \NC = 0 \NC \qquad\text{in }\, \Omega \NR \NC \frac{\displaystyle\partial u}{\displaystyle\partial {\bi n}} \NC = V u + \phi \NC \qquad\text{on }\, \partial\Omega. \NR \stopalignedcases \stopformula \stoptext %% end bug-mathalignment.tex

context --autopdf and --showdirectives
by Henning Hraban Ramm 02 Nov '22

02 Nov '22

I’d like to configure the default behaviour of "context --autopdf"; since on my Mac I must always write "--autopdf=auto", otherwise context tries to call wine "sumatrapdf.exe" -reuse-instance -bg-color 0xCCCCCC instead of e.g. "open". There’s a hint about "directives_pdfview_method", so I wanted to find out more about directives: "context --showdirectives" looks promising; it tells me "result saved in file: .../texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/mtx-context-setters.pdf", but that file isn’t there; it is actually in the current directory, but broken. * How can I configure the command for --autopdf ? (Something in texmfcnf.lua?) * Can we add additional options ("pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra"), e.g. open (should be default on Mac), xdg-open (could be default on Linux)... * What’s wrong with --showdirectives?
