Problem with '\ ' in math commands in current minimals
by Morgan Brassel 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi everyone, In the following example: \define[1]\com{com\ #1} \starttext \com{1} $\com{1}$ \stoptext the second call to \com (the one in math mode) seems to stop the compilation of the file. Is it a bug? It wasn't happening before. I'm using the latest minimals. Best regards, Morgan

Updating minimals

In theory mtxtools --script update [options] should work and it might make sense to provide something like context --update in future. (where options need to be at least --update --force, but --make and --delete is also suggested) But there's a little problem - luatex cannot be updated if you use mtxtools --script update. At least on windows, that definitely reports an error. Mojca

Arabic with LuaTeX vs. XeTeX
by Otared Kavian 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Dear all, I just read the thread started by Burak Emir about "Typesetting Arabic today", and tried to typeset the sample sent by Idris Samawi Hamid. One of the Arabic or Persian fonts that I have and LuaTeX can find is Nadeem (working on Mac OS X 10.5.3), but what I get after typesetting is the following attached PDF: all the characters are typeset with their isolated form. However typestting the same text with XeConTeXt or XeTeX gives a nice result. So my question is, what should I add or subtract from the font features parameters to get a correct result? The source file is as follows: % engine=luatex \starttext \definefontfeature [test] [analyze=yes, mode=node, language=dflt, script=arab, aalt=yes, init=yes, medi=yes, fina=yes, isol=yes, liga=yes, mset=yes] \font\TradArabic = Nadeem*test at 18pt \startbuffer[paragraph] الحمدلله حمد معترف بحمده، مغترف من بحار مجده، بلسان الثناۤء شاكرا، ولحسن الاۤئه ناشرا؛ الذي خلق الموت والحيوة، والخير والشر، والنفع والضر، والسكون والحركة، والأرواح والأجسام، والذكر والنسيان. \blank اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ حَمْدَ مُعْتَرِفٍ بِحَمْدِهٖ، مُغْتَرِفٌ مِنْ بِحَارِ مَجْدِهٖ، بِلِسَانِ الثَّنَاۤءِ شَاكِرًا، وَلِحُسْنِ اٰلاۤئِهٖ نَاشِرًا؛ اَلَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيٰوةَ، وَالْخَيْرَ وَالشَّرَّ، وَالنَّفْعَ وَالضَّرَّ، وَالسُّكُوْنَ وَالْحَرَكَةَ، وَالْأَرْوَاحَ وَالْأَجْسَامَ، وَالذِّكْرَ وَالنِّسْيَانَ. \stopbuffer \start \TradArabic \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \getbuffer[paragraph] \stop \stoptext

fix of Kurier typefaces

Now that I'm looking at it again at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Charter: > This has resulted in derivatives of Bitstream Charter becoming available, including Charis SIL. What about adding http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILfont to the distribution, possibly including TeX Live, and replacing the definitions to use CharisSIL in XeTeX/LuaTeX instead of Bitstream Charter? The same move that has happened with TeX Gyre? Any comments? Suggestions? Mojca

Hi, it seems like a few areas of the garden are somewhat unresponsive. These include texshow source browser modules articles and perhaps others, too. Any idea what's going on? Oliver
