Hi, Is it normal that output from MkII and MkIV are different in terms of page breaks? Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) - Why vim users don't use the ESC key? - It's too far on the keyboard. It's faster to type ctrl-[.

Yes. In MKII the interline space is hard coded. MKIV gets the interline space from the font. So, you will get different page breaks. I experienced around 2-5 pages difference in a 100 page document. Aditya

The interlinespace in MkII and MkIV is the same and both use a distance of 2.8ex between the lines. One difference between the two engines are the used fonts, pdfTeX use type 1 fonts and luaTeX MkIV opentype fonts. Wolfgang

Thank you for your prompt answers. I am a bit surprised, though, that the otf and Type1 Latin Modern fonts are not compatible. Strange thing. Seems it will be a good idea to stick to MkIV...

You should come to BachoTeX. In 2007 Jerzy Ludwichowski and Bogusław Jackowski started their talk about TeX Gyre by screaming "Full compatibility means no progress!" at the audience :-) Arthur

I know that, I read some of the GUST people papers;). I thought, however, that it wouldn't influence my documents *so much*;). Coming to Bachotek in 2008 is impossible for me (as I already wrote, I guess): me and my wife will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary:). Maybe in 2009...

LuaTeX did not always behave like pdfTeX and if you want the same result in your document as in the past, don't switch. The different code for MkII and MkIV are another reason for different output in a few cases. Wolfgang

Well, since I'm really a beginner, I don't have much ConTeXt documents. So I guess the sooner I switch, the better - especially that MkIV is better for my itemizations;).

Yes, but ex means different dimensions in pdftex and luatex. For example \starttext 1ex = \the\dimexpr1ex\relax \crlf 2.8ex = \the\dimexpr2.8ex\relax \stoptext gives in MKII 1ex = 5.16667pt 2.8ex = 14.46669pt and in MKIV gives 1ex = 5.172pt 2.8ex = 14.4816pt The reason is that what ex means is hardcoded in MKII but MKIV gets this info from the font. For example, if I use palatino at 12pt, the result in MKII does not change, but MKIV gives 1ex = 5.388pt 2.8ex = 15.08641pt So, depending on the font, MKII and MKIV can have considerably different lines per page.

Interesting! \font\palatino=texnansi-uplr8a at 12pt \starttext 1ex = \the\dimexpr\exheight\relax\crlf 2.8ex = \the\dimexpr2.8\exheight\relax \blank 1ex = \the\dimexpr\fontdimen5\palatino\relax \crlf 2.8ex = \the\dimexpr2.8\fontdimen5\palatino\relax \stoptext

Thanks for the example, another point to use LuaTeX. Wolfgang

- for type 1, mkiv gets the info from the afm file and has some heuristics if it's not in there; in mkii it's set in the tfm and such values can depends on decisions made while making the tfm file - for otf again the info is taken from the font file in both cases, there is no longer the limitations imposed by the tfm format (like discrete number of ht/dp) and as such there can be differences between mkii and mkiv 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
