Hi, can anyone with an actual *luatex* test, if this fails (live ConTeXt is broken). My binaries are from the minimals at contextgarden (pragma tree), ConTeXt is the latest beta. \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \newbox\TESTbox \setbox\TESTbox\hbox{Silence is sexy.} \hbox{{\color[red]Silence is sexy.}{\color[blue]Silence is sexy.}} \hbox{{\color[red]\copy\TESTbox}{\color[blue]\box\TESTbox}}% no colors with mkiv \stoptext Best wishes, Peter

Yes, Mark IV fails on my machine too (ConTeXt ver: 2007.12.21 20:50 MKIV).
(live ConTeXt is broken).
I had a look at that but I couldn't figure out why, and I don't have that much time right now. The problem seems to be that ConTeXt doesn't find the fonts, which doesn't make much sense since the installation has not changed in months (except that we upgrade to the latest beta each time it is released).

Hi Peter, I have the same problem on my system, the text in the second line is black and has no colors. ConTeXt ver: 2007.12.21 20:50 MKIV fmt: 2007.12.21 int: english/english This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007121821 LuaTeX version BTW: The latest was for mkii and should't be used at the moment.

I just succeeded in building latest luatex and generating all the require formats and your test file works here ;) Sincerely, Gour

Even here no colors. I'm using last stable context.

Same here (it looks that previously i was looking at xetex's output): This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007122521 (Web2C 7.5.6) ConTeXt ver: 2007.12.21 20:50 MKIV fmt: 2007.12.25 int: english/english Sincerely, Gour

if you consider how color is implemented, this is actually not a bug what do you expect in the following case ... \setbox\scratchbox{hi there} \hbox{\bf \copy\scratchbox} till we had luatex, only fonts could be considered an attribute, and a rather limited one: each glyph node has a font id attached; luatex has a more generalized concept, attributes, and *each* node can have attributes colors (and more) in mkiv are implemented using attributes and therefore things behave a bit different i'm still not sure what mkiv should provide, since both methods have their (dis)advantages and so it may not come as a surprise that there is some hackery around this compatibility issue .. % engine=luatex \setupcolors[state=start] \enableattributeinheritance \starttext \newbox\TESTbox \setbox\TESTbox\hbox{Silence is sexy.} \hbox{\color[red]{Silence is sexy.}{\color[blue]{Silence is sexy.}}} \hbox{\color[red]{\attributedcopy\TESTbox}\color[blue]{\attributedbox\TESTbox}} \stoptext i may reimplement this at some point using the new attr feature that comes with boxes (i had no time yet) when testing this a few minutes ago, i found out that this mechanisms was disabled; i uploaded a beta that should work ok it will take a while before such thinsg are sorted out, esp because there is no best way, most logical approach, no method that makes most sense (which is also why it's left to macro packages to deal with it) (btw, this phenomena is mentioned in mk.pdf, of which there is an updated version) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

i agree that it's no bug, just different handling in comparison to mkii. if i think about it, it works as it should. mhh, what are we talkin' about ;)
what do you expect in the following case ...
\setbox\scratchbox{hi there}
\hbox{\bf \copy\scratchbox}
i already trapped in this pitfall, so i'm aware of it :)
till we had luatex, only fonts could be considered an attribute, and a rather limited one: each glyph node has a font id attached; luatex has a more generalized concept, attributes, and *each* node can have attributes
colors (and more) in mkiv are implemented using attributes and therefore things behave a bit different
i'm still not sure what mkiv should provide, since both methods have their (dis)advantages
and so it may not come as a surprise that there is some hackery around this compatibility issue ..
% engine=luatex
\setupcolors[state=start]
\enableattributeinheritance \starttext
\newbox\TESTbox \setbox\TESTbox\hbox{Silence is sexy.}
\hbox{\color[red]{Silence is sexy.}{\color[blue]{Silence is sexy.}}}
\hbox{\color[red]{\attributedcopy\TESTbox}\color[blue]{\attributedbox\TESTbox}}
thanx for that. i'll change my code to make it mkiv compatible.
\stoptext
i may reimplement this at some point using the new attr feature that comes with boxes (i had no time yet)
when testing this a few minutes ago, i found out that this mechanisms was disabled; i uploaded a beta that should work ok
it will take a while before such thinsg are sorted out, esp because there is no best way, most logical approach, no method that makes most sense (which is also why it's left to macro packages to deal with it)
(btw, this phenomena is mentioned in mk.pdf, of which there is an updated version)
for all interested the full link http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mk.pdf very nice stuff for my laser. best wishes, peter
