mkiv update
by Hans Hagen 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, there is a new luatex binary; you really need the latest mkiv (i just uploaded a current) with it; the memory footprint of huge fonts is lowered again, but don't expect more savings there (at least not on the short term) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

MkIV on Ubuntu
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I am trying to install mkiv on ubuntu. I installed luatex from Norbert Preinin's Debian sources and used ctxtools --update to get the latest version of ConTeXt. In order to get luatools --generate to work, I needed to TEXMFCACHE and SELFAUTOPARENT environmental variables. After that, format creation seemed to work. ctxtools --contextversion gives CtxTools | context version: 2007.12.11 22:14 (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex) CtxTools | context version: 2007.12.11 22:14 (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex) luatools lmr10.afm gives /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmr10.afm (which is ok, expcept that there is an extra new line). However, mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=pagella gives MtxRun | unknown script: fonts When I try to compile a simple \starttext hello world \stoptext document with luatex, I get. TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 691 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.1-2007121112 (Web2C 7.5.6) (./test.tex ! LuaTeX error cannot open : No such file or directory. <inserted text> ...stance,"luat-env.lua","tex")) } \ctxlua {if not lua.byteda... <everyjob> \the \everyloadluacode \the \everyfinalizeluacode \the \everyjob l.1 \starttext This is strange. Because locate luat-env.lua gives /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua and kpsewhich luat-env.lua gives /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua I do not undestand what is happening. Any suggestions? Aditya

defining a command
by Roger Mason 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello, I have this definition: \def\oneplot#1#2#3% {\placefigure [here][#3] {\bfc #2} {\hfil \scale[width=10.5cm]{#1} \hfil} } (It is modified from an example on the wiki that takes only the first two arguments). I use it like this: \oneplot % image % caption % reference {\externalfigure[Fluorita_green]} {Fluorite cleavage} {cleavage} but the reference is ignored and I get ?? in the compiled document. Could someone point out my error please? Cheers, Roger

hyphenation again (mkii)
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, please have a look at the following minimal (4 text-lines): \hyphenation{Er-gän-zungs-lie-fe-rung} \showframe \starttext Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.\,Ergänzungslieferung% this should brake after Ergän- Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.|\,|Ergänzungslieferung% this does brake after Ergän- Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.|\,|Ergänzungslieferung% this should NOT brake after 26. Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 26.\,Ergänzungslieferung% this does NOT brake after 26. \stoptext I need a thinspace that prevents line-break between "26." and "Ergänzungslieferung". On the other hand this thinspace shouldn't kill my hyphenation points (i.e. the word should stay breakable)! Any idea? Thanks, Steffen

Hyphenation with apostrophes
by Zeus Gómez Marmolejo 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I'm writing a text in catalan language. Hyphenation patterns are loaded correctly, however when I want to write an apostrophed word, hyphenation doesn't work. For example, the word "instructions" is written "instruccions". When I want to say "of instructions" is "d'instruccions". Hyphenation rules in catalan work normally in this case, that is: "d'ins-truc-cions" but I see in context the whole word at the end of a column line surpassing the margin limits without hyphenation. I see that this is happening in all words beginning with contracted articles or prepositions like d' l' etc... How can I solve this, Thanks to all, Zeus.

hangs again :-)
by zs 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I'm reprting another problem with jammed context/luatex. To avoid my previous problem with table I tried trunk version of luatex. One problem is solved, another one appeared - but now it's not so easy to determine what causes the trouble. I found following: When I try to compile my thesis(quite long doc.), everythig seem to work fine until final step(final pdf file has 99.8% of its normal size) where it hangs using 100% CPU, just after this report: report:lua : loaded patterns - cz:cz:pat:exc:3 en:en:pat:exc:2 lua : current memory usage - 294785281 bytes lua : cleaned up reserved nodes - 18 nodes, 11 lists (of 100) remark : temporary fallback to base mode for tlig and trep ) (see the transcript file for additional information) node memory in use: -3138 words out of 100000 I uncovered that when I comment out line with my font settings (\usetypescriptfile.................) leaving everything default, complilation passes OK. It's strange, because another thin that helps is deleting some lines of the source file, i.e. this line: \part{something} Deleting of some other different lines helps too, I can't find the rule, sorry. I'm still not able to make simple document causing the same problem. I'm sorry for bothering you again. ZS

no ctx file found
by Hans van der Meer 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

After starting afresh after an os update and much trouble in getting all those texmf.cnf parameters in order followed by context specialities, I finally managed to get the cont-en.fmt in /usr/local/ texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt. But now (running in TeXShop) typesetting will not occur: TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1100 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.5 (Web2C 7.5.6) \write18 enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. (/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) TeXExec | runtime: 0.601367 In texmf.cnf I have TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}// (worked in the past) What's wrong here?

[Dev-luatex] beta 0.20.2 released
by Taco Hoekwater 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hi all, I have just uploaded the archives for luatex 0.20.2. This is a simple bugfix release for last week's beta: * some portability fixes to the build scripts * a fix for multi-\span in alignments causing unbreakable loops * manual improvements from Jonathan Sauer * fix for undefined csnames in \directlua if web2c's hash_extra is nonzero * fix for LR text inside of a RL document * fix for open_read_file callback not being called unless find_read_file was also registered * removed the ocp status message when \ocps are not actually used * "unicodeenc" in the fontforge to_table renamed to "unicode" for improved consistency I have uploaded source and linux/win32 binaries to http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ Have fun, Taco

TeX Live 2008: LuaTeX?
by Tobias Burnus 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hi all, does anyone know whether LuaTeX will be part of TeX Live 2008? If I browse the SVN correctly, it currently contains a 1 year old ConTeXt, checked in by Taco, and no LuaTeX. It would be great if at least an up-to-date ConTeXt and possible LuaTeX could be included. (Esp. since several Linux distributions have their TeX based on TeX Live and are reluctant to create extra packages.) Tobias
