Hi,

I uploaded a beta. Not that many fixes (if someone can collect structure related bugs ...), only a few.

Let me raise several issues about luatex-plain. First, newly released beta breaks luatex-plain, because "luat-sto.lua" is not included in luatex-fonts.lua. Without this, luatex-plain fails when trying to define "storage.shared.attributes_last_private". Secondly, "name:" method of font searching does not work. The reason is version mismatch between font-dum.lua and luatex-fonts-names.lua. The former requires "data.version == 1.07", while the latter's version is 1.08, if it is generated with current beta. Thirdly, some fonts have extension "TTF" rather than "ttf", so that function "resolvers.find_file" fails while finding, for example, gentium font (filename: GenR102.TTF). Here is my patch: - return kpse.find_file(name,(kind and kind ~= "" and (remapper[kind] or kind)) or "tex") + return kpse.find_file(name,(kind and kind ~= "" and (remapper[string.lower(kind)] or kind)) or "tex") Lastly, current beta does not support subfonts contained in TTC (truetype collection). TTC fonts are becoming more and more difficult to find, but we still can find them especially in CJK world. It's quite simple to support them: just commenting out three lines from font-dum.lua -- function fonts.define.get_specification(str) -- return "", str, "", ":", str -- end Thank you for your great work, as always.

For those who keep an eye on the source ... i'm rewriting ppchtex and it will be integral part of the core of mkiv (so that we have chemistry on board). It's not yet finished but i'm getting there.

OK, here is a collection of some assorted bugs. Most of them have been posted several times. Of course, everybody will have their own feeling of what is more and what is less urgent, but I will just add a few words about my own situation: 1. bib-module \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications [refcommand=num, numbering=yes] \startpublication[k=bertellihecataeus,t=incollection, a={{Bertelli}},y=2001, n=1,s=Ber01] \artauthor[]{Lucio}[L.]{}{Bertelli} \pubyear{2001} \arttitle{Hecataeus: From Genealogy to Historiography} \editor[]{Nino}[N.]{}{Luraghi} \crossref{luraghicraft} \pages{67--94} \pages{67--94} \pubname{Oxford University Press} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=luraghihistorian,t=book, a={{Luraghi}},y=2001, n=2,s=Lur01a] \editor[]{Nino}[N.]{}{Luraghi} \pubyear{2001\maybeyear{a}} \title{The Historian's Craft in the Age of Herodotus} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \starttext Citation: \cite[bertellihecataeus] List: \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Taco's bib module does not work with the current beta. For me, this is a showstopper, I will have to give up on mkiv as long as this does not work. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 2. Section numbers in markings are duplicated \setuphead [section] [page=yes, style=normal] \setupuserpagenumber[state=start,way=bysection] \setupfootertexts[{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} – \userpagenumber] \starttext \section{One} \input tufte \page \input linden \section{Two} \input bryson \page \input davis \stoptext Urgency=high, I use these markings in lots of documents. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 3. trep and tlig features don't work in node mode \definefontfeature [mytest] [mode=node,script=latn,trep=yes,tlig=yes,kern=yes] \starttypescript[serif][Test] \definefontsynonym[Serif][name:texgyretermesregular][features=mytest] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[Test] \definetypeface[Test][rm][serif][Test][default][features=mytest] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[Test] \setupbodyfont[Test,12pt] \starttext fine's flops: 1 -- 2 --- 3 \stoptext priority: medium for me (since it can be worked around, but still needs fixing) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 4. Spaces, esp. after periods \font\one=cmr10 \font\two=file:texgyrepagella-regular \bgroup A A A \primitive\sfcode`A=2000 A A A \egroup \bgroup\one A A A \primitive\sfcode`A=2000 A A A \egroup \bgroup\two A A A \primitive\sfcode`A=2000 A A A \egroup \bye This test file has been given by Wolfgang Schuster a few days ago. It shows a problem that is especially annoying after periods because it disrupts frenchspacing/nonfrenchspacing. For me, very high priority because the quality of the output is severely reduced (with this bug, it would be impossible to typeset a book for publication with ConTeXt mkiv right now). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 5. Labels \definelabel[SlideNumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext] \starttext \incrementSlideNumber \nextSlideNumber \stoptext Fails in current beta. For me, urgency=medium. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 6. Cross-references \starttext \startitemize[n] \item[one] One \item[two] Two \item[three] Three \stopitemize As we can see in item \in[one] and \in[three]. \stoptext Urgency=medium %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 7. Line breaks between quotation marks: \setuplayout[width=3cm] \starttext \quotation{This is a \quote{test.}} \stoptext Urgency: low, but non-nil. OK, this should be enough for the time being. For almost two weeks, I haven't been able to connect to the supelec website to bring my luatex to the latest version; is this a problem on my end, or is access to the svn repositories currently disabled? Would be nice to hear about these bugs; some of the have been posted several times, but we never heard back about them. All best Thomas

I feel sorry for you, but I do not know what to do about it anymore.

Taco, hi, could you please include a feature that allows listing the set of pages that an item was cited on, I'm sure this is present in LaTeX. Mohamed 2009/5/21 Taco Hoekwater

-- function fonts.define.get_specification(str) --     return "", str, "", ":", str -- end

Additionally, to be able to access TTC subfonts with "name:" method, a patch should be inserted into font-dum.lua as follows: if found then local filename, is_sub = found[3], found[4] + if is_sub then is_sub = found[2] end return filename, is_sub else Regards, Dohyun Kim

fixed in next beta (marks got a prefix)

3. trep and tlig features don't work in node mode

hm, i gave it another try ... also in next beta ... is bit tricky as this is a feature that does not fall in some script/lang category (i'd put it in default (which works) but we need more in node mode they are implemented by faking real features (a mechanism that was somewhat extended recently to support anum and pnum for arabic and persian numbering) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

weren't you going to make me a zip?

Will do during the weekend. (I'm at a conference in Belgium right now.) All best Thomas
