Two issues related to xetex
Hi, Hans and Mojca: first, (to Mojca) the first-setup.sh script still deletes fontconfig cache when updating on windows. second, (to Hans) unicode-letters.tex is read when we dump plain TeX or LaTeX format in TeXLive. This file is wrote by Jonathan Kew in order to initialize XeTeX. It defines many important unicode properties into XeTeX. However, ConTeXt do not load that file when dumping the xetex format. The file is not even in ConTeXt distribution. I suggest that the file should be loaded. You can find the file in http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xetex/TRUNK/texmf/tex/generic/xetex/unicod... XeTeX's plain TeX ini file can be find in http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xetex/TRUNK/texmf/tex/xetex/config/xetex.i... If the file is not loaded, thousands of lines should be copied to third party modules (like the module I announce on the mailing list today) in order to support some language correctly. This method is quite messy, not to say inefficient for loading. Yue Wang

i don't want dependencies on files outside the context proper; too many bad experiences with that as they always are made for latex and i don'w want to waste time on keeping track of all those things anyway context has enco-utf which is generated from the mkiv character database and that's our reference definition (although not relevant for cjk, context also ships its own pattern, already in utf for quite a while) so, if some definition is missing we should first fix char-def and then regenerate enco-utf using mtxrun --script chars --utf 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmm ... while experimenting a bit and after writing a long answer explaining that I'll come back to it after a while ... I figured out that I have already implemented a fix, but completely forgot about it. Hans, does this make sense? local normalflags = states.get("rsync.flags.normal") local deleteflags = "" if (destination:find("texmf$") or destination:find("context$")) and (not environment.argument("keep")) then deleteflags = states.get("rsync.flags.delete") end command = format("%s %s %s %s'%s' '%s'", bin, normalflags, deleteflags, url, archives, destination) This only adds the --delete flag to texmf-context and texmf, others are not touched. The consequence is that this won't delete your pdftex binary automatically if you decide that you only need LuaTeX one day, but I think that it makes sense as a temporary fix since: - it prevents deleting font cache - it reduces the need to recreate the formats when nothing has been updated Mojca

ok, i'll change it 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
