This required also update of file avlstuff.c. Similar to patch-366, which did this already for the pdf_mem array. Then all (?) pdftex-specific memory configuration parameters, obj_tab_size, dest_names_size, and pdf_mem_size in texmf.cnf would be ignored.

Cheers, Michael ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2005-01-14 03:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 It is likely that this will never be implemented. The better way to do that is to change the script \<TEX> (\<PDFTEX>) calls to create missing \<TFM> during run-time (on \<WEB2C>-based systems this is called |mktextfm|) to create all the required stuff on demand.

The (unexpandable) value of \noligatures \f is either 1, when the font has no ligatures, or 0, when the font *does* have ligatures. This patch is to be applied after tex.pch, but see the change file itself for a remark regarding MLTeX. As requested by Hans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2005-07-10 16:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 This has been included in version 1.30.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=374&group_id=106

[ pdftex-Patches-371 ] Expandable \pdfstrcmp, \pdfescape*, added \pdf(de)escapehex
by noreply＠sarovar.org 10 Jul '05

Patches item #371, was opened at 2005-06-20 17:11 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=371&group_id=106 Category: None >Group: v1.30.0 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 5 Submitted By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Expandable \pdfstrcmp, \pdfescape*, added \pdf(de)escapehex Initial Comment: Hello, the result of last weekend is a patch that makes \pdfstrcmp (based on Harmut's work) and the \pdfescape* commands expandable. Thus \pdflastescaped* are not needed anymore. I could remove the dependency on a limited buffer by copying the destination strings directly in the string pool above the source string. Also the patch adds the fixes of bug 369. Fourth I add \pdfescapehex and \pdfunescapehex that implements encoding and decoding for hexadecimal strings: * Strings can also be given as hex strings in angle brackets. * Safe method to store and read string data to auxiliary files without worrying about catcodes, unmachted curly braces, ... * Help in handling UTF-8/Unicode or other hex coding stuff. Patch is applied by patch <EscapeDivers.patch in directory src/texk/web2c/pdftexdir The Makefile needs modifying. After the lines $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/tex.pch the line $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/pdfstrcmp.ch is inserted. This should be done two times for pdftex and pdfetex. Yours sincerely Heiko <oberdiek(a)uni-freiburg.de> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2005-07-10 16:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 Superseded by #375. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Heiko Oberdiek (oberdiek) Date: 2005-06-21 08:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1276 Hello, the first patch missed the changes in pdftex.defines. Now the patch is reorganized: Patched files: * utils.c main part of the fix, especially function convertStringToPDFName(). * pdftoepdf.cc, epdf.h, ptexlib.h because of changed signature of convertStringToPDFString() * pdftex.defines adds new/deletes old entries of utils.c * pdfstrcmp.ch is added. * pdftex.mk, ../pdfetexdir/pdfetex.mk: addition of pdfstrcmp.ch Now the patch must be applied in scr/texk/web2c: patch -p0 <EscapeDivers.patch With the following commands I could compile pdf(e)tex: unzip pdftex-1.30.0-rc1.zip cd pdftex-1.30.0-rc1/src/texk/web2c patch -p0 <../../../../EscapeDivers.patch cd - ./Build Sorry for the inconvenience Heiko <oberdiek(a)uni-freiburg.de> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=371&group_id=106
