First, thank you Wolfgang, I tried to change it in the core-mat.tex and it looks great now!
1) I also tried the new context minimal with LuaTeX (to see if it worked better there) and found out that the fourier fonts are not included in the minimals anymore. Are there any plans to include them? Or to make some kind of package with these and other nice free fonts?
mojca will look into it (out of reach, mail etc now) since it came up last week
sounds great!
2) Will the problem from http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070830.154143.005528b8.en.html go away in the near future (of new versions)? From the answers to that question I did not really get if the problem was a big one or not.
depends on who wants to fix it -)
I don't know what to do (and I am not a programmer), but if there is some monkey-see-monkey-do work, I am happy to help.
PS I am impressed by the speed of LuaTeX. It compiled my document in ~20s instead of 1-2 minutes.
Due to mplib or in general? Some parts of mkiv can still be sped up, e.g. xml processing, but there's not that much more to gain in font handling (that is ... we're playing with runtime mp fonts and there we can gain a lot when the new img related features show up). Also, some mechanisms will be reimplemented and as such be sped up.
Hm, I hoped you would tell me why ;) The document is a math document with a lot of references, 5 different bibliographies. But no MetaPost graphics, just plain text + formulas. It is about 100 pages at the moment. Could it maybe be the fact that I am changing font? With LuaTeX I was using the lm fonts. I have a feeling it takes a bit longer to load other fonts, but that might just be a feeling from what is written in the terminal?
mkiv needs less fonts but they may be bigger (more glyphs) at the end of a run you see the statistics, just write them down occasionally so that we can see the improvements other reasons can be that some mem bugs have been removed over time adn that mkiv share more data, so that overall less memory is needed which in turn gives less garbage collection try adding \usemodule[timing] to the top of the doc and one or more \ShowUsage {} \ShowMemoryUsage{} \ShowNodeUsage {} at the end ... it generates some pictures that show what takes most time ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
