Re: [XeTeX] Velthuis to Roman translit

Hi all, there is a subtle problem. The original design of Velthuis (at least as I found it somewhere) was case insensitive. It was thus possible to use normal English capitalization as Indra, Brahma etc. Thus both i and I was short (hrasva) i and both ii and II was long (dirgha) i. Aspirated bh

Re: [XeTeX] how to customize sorting order of characters in index

I do not know how to do it in imakeindex but I could do it in xindy. I have an Urdu-Hindi dictionary so I can find the sort oder of most characters but I do not know where to put bari yeh (ے), dochashmee he (ھ) and maybe a few more characters that never appear at the beginning of the word. This is

Hi, everything from the TeX world is free and multiplatform. Of course, there are nonfree text editors that can help you with creation of the source text and running all task by pushing buttons on a task bar but they are not needed and free tools are available. Both plain XeTeX and XeLaTeX are

Re: [XeTeX] index not showing up as an entry in the table of contents

You have to redefine the header, it automatically inserts \chapter*{Index}. You have to remove the asterisk. I do not remember the details, I would have to search in the documentatin but it is written there. Zdeněk Wagner http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz

Re: [XeTeX] Could Adobe Photoshop's "blending options" for text be supported in a future {Pdf|Xe}TeX variant

Hi all, about a week ago I mentioned my article in Czech mentioning the rendering modes. I showed how to do it via \special and \pdfliteral. Embossing may be acheved by storing the text in an \hbox and \copy'ing it several times at slightly shifted positions with different colours and redering

Re: [XeTeX] problem rendering unicode Devanagari dependent vowel signs in a different color

Hi, I am afraid that this is impossible. \color inserts aa expandable command of a main processor which must not be used inside a word. This means that in the TeX's eyes the matra is a part of another word and must not be connected. You have to do it manually. Try this in your file and see the

Re: [XeTeX] Stroking a TeX rule in XeTeX

Yes, both in pdftex in xetex the stroke colour and fill colour are independent. You can even change the rendering mode of text and print glyph outlines in one colour with a specified line width and fill them with another colour. It is shown in my article: Zdeněk Wagner: Tisk obrysu písma v PDF

Re: [XeTeX] Polyglossia error in Hindi

Hello, thank you for the report, these are most probably my misprints when copying the words from babel to polyglossia. gloss-hindi.ldf is the write place, if it does not help, then you have the file in a wrong directory and the unchanged file is used. Anyway, I will report it upstream. Zdeněk

Re: [XeTeX] popup windows in XeLaTeX?

Hi, I would first try to set the outlines correctly. The PDF specification says that the outline must either be in AdobeStandardEncoding, which does not cover east european languages, or each text must be preceded by BOM. XeTeX inserts BOM automatically. Hopefully luatex (or hyperref) has an

Re: [XeTeX] A problem with a Devanagari font

Re: [XeTeX] xelatex to doc?

No, neither make4ht nor Acrobat Pro helps. The reason is that generated PDF contains glyphs but both copy, save as text, save as word, or sace as whatever requires characters and this information is lost. Moreover, the order of glyphs does not follow the order of characters in the word. It can

Re: [XeTeX] hyphenation cancelled through footnote

Hi, the expansion of \varc becomes a part of the word which then cannot be founs in \patters. Since it is a compound word, both parts have a chance to be in \patterns, so you must inform TeX that these parts should be considered words. This definition works: \newcommand{\varc}[2]{\nobreak\hskip

Hi, please, notice that the number of character classes was increased from 256 to 4096, so 255 no longer works as a boundary but 4095 must be used. I use the following code that I took from some other package: \edef\CSat{\the\catcode`\@} % in order to work in plain XeTeX \catcode`\@=11

Re: [XeTeX] Newbie's XeTeX questions

Hi, to put it simply, XeTeX is just TeX but it works internally in Unicode, accepts the source files in UTF-8 (BOM is accepted but is not mandatory) and can use TrueType and OpenType fonts installed in the operating system. This means that the \font primitive has other functionality. It is not
