Re: LaTeX to unicode translation table
Fri Dec 03 1999, Miyata Shigeru - It seems BitStream corporation is no longer distributing the CyberBit font. It is a complete Unicode 2.0 TrueType font except for 12,000 Hangul Syllables and contains 26217 glyphs: Well, I've got that font. However, running ttmkfdir (the one distributed with freetype-1.2) only produces a lot of iso8859-* encodings and koi8 and ascii-0. No iso10646-1 :( Is there som way to persuade ttmkfdir to generate an iso-10646 variation of a specific font? I don't want to load heaps of different encodings to get the glyph I want.

However, Microsoft Japan quite blatantly states in a magazine interview that all the fonts shipped with Windows operating system, Microsoft applications for the said system, and those on the Web sites are licenced to be used only on Windows operating system. And that it is a serious offence to the copyright law to use the fonts on other operating systems even if they are installed on the same hardware. We certainly can't distribute it, so it's no good as the only solution. Some people (e.g. me) don't have a copy of windows anywhere (and are proud of it!). Note incidentally that MS are lying (and I imagine they know they are). Once they have given you permission to use it under windows on your machine, 'fair use' almost certainly means that if you mount your FAT drive under linux and teach your Xserver to see the fonts, you can use them under linux.

SpaceLess() function is dead :) [Arnd and SMiyata, please read]
Hello, I have finally killed the SpaceLess(). In fact , it has been renamed to MakeLatexName() and Buffer now has a new getLatexName() method which returns the name of the .tex file (with .tex extension). There were however a few places where spaceless was actually used to avoid spaces. I replaced it by a new function QuoteName() which adds single quotes around the argument: aa - 'aa' JMarc's file- 'JMarc\'s file' (now that I think if it, it probably breaks when a quote is already backslashed %-|) These quotes are of course not good for OS/2. So I'd be glad if an alternative implementation could be given in this case. Otherwise, I'll just make the function do nothing for OS/2. What remains to do now is to find all cases where stringe file names (containing spaces or quotes for example) create problems to programs other that latex. I did a lot of experiments, but all is not done. One question: when a command line in lyxrc contains $$FName, should we provide the quotes automatically? This would force to rewrite some definition which already have them, but it is maybe a good idea for the long term anyway. Thoughts? JMarc

Re: [seak.teng-fong@iname.com] Feedback from www.lyx.org
OK, Try the following (including the spaces, which are required)
\def\ip2#1{{\catcode` =11\input{#1}\catcode` =10}}
and I think you will find that \ip2{foo bar baz.tex} will without any trouble.
The best effect can be had by putting that definition in the preamble. The
same approach can be applied to other characters, including ones with the top
bit set (most of which are probably in category 15, so generate nasty
messages). If Andre wants a c cedilla in his file name this approach should
allow him to have it. \ip2 works by temporarily reclassifing space as a
letter. [Reference: "The TeXbook" chapters 7 and 8]
It might also be profitable to chnage some of the top bit set character to
active characters that are \def to appropiate bits of TeX.
Finally, although it is offtopic bit I thoght the french powers that be
abolished cedillas?

LyX 1.1.3 trace log - reproducible
Hello dear Developers! After finishing one book (two editions - Croatian English) with LyX and taking advantage to mention LyX LaTeX as tools for producing layouts, I had a small pause. Soon, I have to start with some new writing and today I downloaded new 1.1.3 version. I just changed the strings in tex-accent.C to have capability to enter diacritic marks which are disabled by default in LyX (like r underdot), compiled the program and tried to see what's happening. I have defined dead keys in Xmodmap and I use latin-2 encoding in my documents (attached file croatian.kmap) plus sanskrit.bind (also attached) to add feature for entering sanskrit diacritic marks. Now I cannot see all of them on the screen although they appear in dvi output. Problem is with "i macron". More serious problem is crashing when trying to enter "C caron" (if I'm correct) - standard character in latin-2 encoding. The trace file is included. Sincerely, Sasa P.S.

Re: Diffs for modification to allow Fraktur and Blackboard Bold fonts
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Lars Gullik Bjønnes) wrote: I already have the xfonts in the texmf tree and we should leave them there. Yes, I forget where I got it from but I have amsps-unix.tar.gz 887925 bytes. Other CM fonts by BlueSky are available from CTAN/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky On the other hand, I prefer BaKoMa fonts for their quality, although LaTeX symbols and Cyrillic fonts are missing. They are at CTAN/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma If we are to use them, Only the pointer for availablity (URL) should be enough. Some of the changes to the mathed code are so large that I want Alejandros opinion on them before doing anything. I'm not Alejandro, but - \mathbb and \mathfrak are accessible only when one of ams class, amstex, or amsfonts package is loaded. Similarly \mathscr requires eucal or euscript package. Since the patch doesn't take care of class/packages loading, it will lead to LaTeX errors. - In LaTeX, text fonts selection and math fonts selection are treated in completely different fashions. On the other hand, in LyX text fonts and math fonts use the same mechanism for loading, which has been working so far because we have so far used only the common subset of both. Now the patch breaks the assumption. You can see in Buffer::readLyXformat2() that if a user hacks lyx files with a text editor, s/he can display and emit \mathbb etc. in non-math environment, which eventually leads to LaTeX errors. I know you should not edit lyx files with text editors, but IMHO the design of the font loader will be wrong if this patch is applied. - fonts.dir/fonts.scale files in xfonts.tar.gz explicitely prohibits X clients from accessing non ISO8859-1 characters in the fonts. Try xfd -fn -bluesky-lasy-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 to see what I mean. I don't see any rationals for such a deed. Judging from these, the patch seems, at least to me, a temporary hack rather than a solution for mathEd problems, which I do not want to be included in LyX. Also for the fonts we can discuss how to get access to the ps fonts distributed with tetex in the best way. It is possible that to use a font renderer like t1lib would be better than using the built-in renderer in X. This needs a discussion. If we use built-in renderers in a X client, then we may get a better looking results such as anti-aliasing. On the other hand, if we do not use the X renderer, we have to send bitmaps to the X server, which might increase the network load. Also I'd like to remind you that there are two kinds of DrawString functions in the X. XDrawString()/XDrawString16() are optimised drawing function which use the default font of the target GC. While, XmbDrawString()/XwcDrawString() are virtual font mechanism in Xlib, which send XSetFont() requests behind the scene at appropriate places. The problem with the said virtual font mechanism is that it is entirely based on the locale. I'm not sure if it suits the purpose of mathEd but I will try to write a locale definition for LaTeX math setting. (The locale file parser in Xlib is far from robust, to say the least and it may take a time to make it working.) Regards, SMiyata

We certainly can't distribute it, so it's no good as the only solution. Some people (e.g. me) don't have a copy of windows anywhere (and are proud of it!).

Once they have given you permission to use it under windows on your machine, 'fair use' almost certainly means that if you mount your FAT drive under linux and teach your Xserver to see the fonts, you can use them under linux.

This indeed good. I'll commit this patch. However, why is it
necessary to keep the old IFS (which contain spaces) in the line
IFS="${IFS= }"; ac_save_ifs="$IFS"; IFS="${IFS}$PATH_IFS"
I used:
IFS="${IFS= }"; ac_save_ifs="$IFS"; IFS="$PATH_IFS"
Is that OK with you?

SpaceLess() function is dead :) [Arnd and SMiyata, please read]
Hello, I have finally killed the SpaceLess(). In fact , it has been renamed to MakeLatexName() and Buffer now has a new getLatexName() method which returns the name of the .tex file (with .tex extension). There were however a few places where spaceless was actually used to avoid spaces. I replaced it by a new function QuoteName() which adds single quotes around the argument: aa -> 'aa' JMarc's file-> 'JMarc\'s file' (now that I think if it, it probably breaks when a quote is already backslashed %-|) These quotes are of course not good for OS/2. So I'd be glad if an alternative implementation could be given in this case. Otherwise, I'll just make the function do nothing for OS/2. What remains to do now is to find all cases where stringe file names (containing spaces or quotes for example) create problems to programs other that latex. I did a lot of experiments, but all is not done. One question: when a command line in lyxrc contains $$FName, should we provide the quotes automatically? This would force to rewrite some definition which already have them, but it is maybe a good idea for the long term anyway. Thoughts? JMarc

That's not exactly what I meant. I should have said: What remains to do now is to find all cases where strange file names (containing spaces or quotes for example) create problems _due_to_the_way_we_invoke_them_ What happens is that there are many places where QuoteName should be invoked and is not. Finding them is not very difficult: create a file with spaces and quotes in name, and see what happens when you try to run latex, xdvi, gs, tth, fax stuff, etc. JMarc

Re: [seak.teng-fong@iname.com] Feedback from www.lyx.org
OK, Try the following (including the spaces, which are required)
\def\ip2#1{{\catcode` =11\input{#1}\catcode` =10}}
and I think you will find that \ip2{foo bar baz.tex} will without any trouble.
The best effect can be had by putting that definition in the preamble. The
same approach can be applied to other characters, including ones with the top
bit set (most of which are probably in category 15, so generate nasty
messages). If Andre wants a c cedilla in his file name this approach should
allow him to have it. \ip2 works by temporarily reclassifing space as a
letter. [Reference: "The TeXbook" chapters 7 and 8]
It might also be profitable to chnage some of the top bit set character to
active characters that are \def to appropiate bits of TeX.
Finally, although it is offtopic bit I thoght the french powers that be
abolished cedillas?

LyX 1.1.3 trace log - reproducible
Hello dear Developers! After finishing one book (two editions - Croatian & English) with LyX and taking advantage to mention LyX & LaTeX as tools for producing layouts, I had a small pause. Soon, I have to start with some new writing and today I downloaded new 1.1.3 version. I just changed the strings in tex-accent.C to have capability to enter diacritic marks which are disabled by default in LyX (like r underdot), compiled the program and tried to see what's happening. I have defined dead keys in Xmodmap and I use latin-2 encoding in my documents (attached file croatian.kmap) plus sanskrit.bind (also attached) to add feature for entering sanskrit diacritic marks. Now I cannot see all of them on the screen although they appear in dvi output. Problem is with "i macron". More serious problem is crashing when trying to enter "C caron" (if I'm correct) - standard character in latin-2 encoding. The trace file is included. Sincerely, Sasa P.S.

It is installed, but I am not sure the config is correct, so I don't think it is doing anything. The docs are lenghty, but obscure in places, like how to set up paths to the afm fonts. My guess is that it was a mistake to install ghostscript-fonts-std-6.00, esp. since my backup fonts turned out to be on a busted SyQuest. Downloading (slowly) the older fonts to check that out. I'll let you know. Garst > > Lgb
Mirror site in Italy isn't up to date
I just found that the mirror site in Italy isn't up to date at all. Haven't tried the others yet. How are mirror sites setup? Manually or using a programme (robot) doing automatic mirror (once a day or once a week)?

I had uncommented the p lines below in my config.ps So maybe it is a Type 1 font problem. % This is for using BlueSky/AMS/Y Type 1 fonts.

But the escaping rules for "" are even more complex. You have to escape, backslashes, $, etc... It's easier (IMO) to use the exec calls.

Yes, I forget where I got it from but I have amsps-unix.tar.gz 887925 bytes. Other CM fonts by BlueSky are available from CTAN/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky On the other hand, I prefer BaKoMa fonts for their quality, although LaTeX symbols and Cyrillic fonts are missing. They are at CTAN/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma If we are to use them, Only the pointer for availablity (URL) should be enough. > Some of the changes to the mathed code are so large that I want > Alejandros opinion on them before doing anything. I'm not Alejandro, but - \mathbb and \mathfrak are accessible only when one of ams class, amstex, or amsfonts package is loaded. Similarly \mathscr requires eucal or euscript package. Since the patch doesn't take care of class/packages loading, it will lead to LaTeX errors. - In LaTeX, text fonts selection and math fonts selection are treated in completely different fashions. On the other hand, in LyX text fonts and math fonts use the same mechanism for loading, which has been working so far because we have so far used only the common subset of both. Now the patch breaks the assumption. You can see in Buffer::readLyXformat2() that if a user hacks lyx files with a text editor, s/he can display and emit \mathbb etc. in non-math environment, which eventually leads to LaTeX errors. I know you should not edit lyx files with text editors, but IMHO the design of the font loader will be wrong if this patch is applied. - fonts.dir/fonts.scale files in xfonts.tar.gz explicitely prohibits X clients from accessing non ISO8859-1 characters in the fonts. Try xfd -fn -bluesky-lasy-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 to see what I mean. I don't see any rationals for such a deed. Judging from these, the patch seems, at least to me, a temporary hack rather than a solution for mathEd problems, which I do not want to be included in LyX. > Also for the fonts we can discuss how to get access to the ps fonts > distributed with tetex in the best way.

If we use built-in renderers in a X client, then we may get a better looking results such as anti-aliasing. On the other hand, if we do not use the X renderer, we have to send bitmaps to the X server, which might increase the network load. Also I'd like to remind you that there are two kinds of DrawString functions in the X. XDrawString()/XDrawString16() are optimised drawing function which use the default font of the target GC. While, XmbDrawString()/XwcDrawString() are virtual font mechanism in Xlib, which send XSetFont() requests behind the scene at appropriate places. The problem with the said virtual font mechanism is that it is entirely based on the locale. I'm not sure if it suits the purpose of mathEd but I will try to write a locale definition for LaTeX math setting. (The locale file parser in Xlib is far from robust, to say the least and it may take a time to make it working.) Regards, SMiyata
