Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2217 Fine for me and microtype. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2007-03-31 09:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 either name is ok with me. We need a new pritimive to load a new font and expand it, since the current one doesn't load a new font and hence is making trouble. I would wait for a while to see how Robert sees it before making any change. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody (None) Date: 2007-03-19 11:07 Message: Logged In: NO Hello, I do not think that \pdfexpandfont is a good name for a new primitive, as it is too easy to confuse with \pdffontexpand. What about \pdfexpandnewfont, as -- if I understand correctly -- a new font is loaded? Jonathan P.S: Thank you for creating pdfTeX! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2007-03-10 20:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 Phil Taylor has a suggestion that seems great to me: introduce a new primitive \pdfexpandfont instead. How do you see it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2007-03-10 19:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 Forget that comment. Of course a change of \pdffontexpand has to be considered carefully. By you. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2007-03-10 19:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 No. It's an undocumented primitive. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2007-03-09 17:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 sigh. A mistake when implementing the \pdffontexpand primitive: it should load a new font for expansion, instead of expanding a loaded font. Too late for change now? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=747&group_id=106
