Hi guys,
I missed some of the excitement of the last two weeks because I was away. I tested the latest versions of ConTeXt and luatex and have some problems:
1. Is there a simple switch to between luatex and pdftex? If I want to write typescripts with the new name: syntax, I'd like to have the old typsecripts as well to remain compatible. So: is there something like a simple switch \ifluatex?
Hi Hans, can't this be integrated in \usetypescriptfile to look at first for a file with the extensions mkii, mkiii or mkiv and if there is no file use a tex file as fallback. Wolfgang
one option is to make two versions (name.mkii and name.mkiv) and then in the name.tex file say \loadmarkfile{name} which will choose the right variant then
2. I tested with a number of OpenType fonts from my Adobe Type Classics CD: ConTeXt Mkiv can address these fonts (which is wonderful), but it does not read the kerning information. I don't know whether this is because Adobe's kerning tables are so big (kerning appears to work with the TeXGyre fonts and Latin Modern) or because the Adobe fonts have these tables included in a somewhat different way.
depends on the way you define things ... maybe the kerning is language dependent? kern is a feature
in base mode, we use tex's kerning and ligatures and can only have simple replacement, in node mode, mkiv does everything itself
Will be back with lots of more question re. Greek soon!
good
Hans
