\showmathcharacters doesn't work (MacTex 2009)
Hi, I want to produce a list of math characters for reference. Followed the wiki page it's supposed to be a simple call to \showcharacters. But the following tex file \starttext \showmathcharacters \stoptext produces an empty table. \showcharacters doesn't work either. Any idea why?
Hi Riobard, Since math is done differently in mkiv than in mkii, indeed \showmathcharacters does not work in mkiv. However one can get all the math characters in mkiv in a big list doing the following: %%%% begin showmath.tex \doifmode{mkiv}{\usemodule[fnt-25]} \starttext \doifmodeelse{mkiv}{\showmathfontcharacters}{\showmathcharacters} \stoptext %%%% end showmath.tex Then, if using mkiv, in the resulting PDF file you can see all characters used in mathmode.

when i have time all these show commands will move to modules (maybe a bit of a cleanup too) .. many of them are just for tracing when we work on luatex Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Otared,
Actually I'm using MKII (ConTeXt + XeTeX). MacTex 2009 (based on Tex
Live 2009) does not produce correct result. I installed ConTeXt
minimals and it worked (again, with XeTeX, so MKII I assume?).

I can confirm that it's broken in MacTeX 2009, but since it works in current version it might be better to concentrate on TeX Live 2010 at the moment and make sure that as few bugs as possible are left in that one (including testing this particular command). ConTeXt has not been integrated into TL tree yet (I didn't really check, but I didn't hear about that yet), however this might happen soon. Mojca

I am waiting until the next (bugfix) current before I do that.
Sure, that makes perfect sense. It's pointless to hurry to much. There are quite some recent bug reports on the list. The latest luatex binaries are not in TL yet anyway. Thanks, Mojca

just a remark: showmathcharacters is a mkii command and for luatex (i.e. mkiv) there are other commands; as i never run xetex (apart from generating formats) i haven't tested all those show-commands but it is unlikely that something will change as mkii primarily targets at the 8 bit engines and as such is frozen Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans, I can confirm that \showmathcharacters works fine when running ConTeXt mkii + XeTeX, at least through the minimals. Regarding mkiv, I guess we can wait until all maths environment is stabilized. Best regards: OK
