XeTeX does not use any system libraries for its OpenType layout, in the past is was using ICU LayoutEngine and now it is using HarfBuzz, in all platforms (i.e. a third party library, but not a system one). However, HarfBuzz has heuristics to place marks based on glyph bounding boxes in the case of GPOS absence (a bit similar to TeX's \accent but knows which marks goes above or below or off the center).

[NTG-context] Off-topic: Convert PDF to (Con/La)TeX
Hi, I just want to know if there is any tool to convert a pdf (generated by latex or context) to latex source or context source file. Does anyone have got an experience on that? I'm thinking about two alternatives: * libraries for reading like podofo and custom script for passing pdf context (text) to context commands * pass pdf to jpg, and apply http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html for passing to tex symbols. For me it's vital to pass mathematical symbols like (\int) to tex symbol and not like utf-8 symbols. Thanks a lot, Xan. Note: pdf could be substitute for ps if you want ;-) PS: Please CCme ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] [luatex-fonts] +mkmk; +mark results in call to undefined onetimemessage()
Hi,
in luatex-plain, the example below
\font\grk="file:LinLibertine_R.otf:+mark;+mkmk;mode=node" at 14.4pt
{\grk
μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος\hfill\break
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε}
\bye
triggers a call to onetimemessage() which is nil at the time when
the upvalue is created. Can we have calls to
fonts.loggers.onetimemessage() instead, so we can override that
one with our own logger?
On a related note, we would like to reduce verbosity. In
luatex-basics-gen.lua, could we have:
logs = logs or {
new=dummyreporter,
reporter=dummyreporter,
messenger=dummyreporter,
report=dummyfunction,
}
So we can provide our own “logs” table?
Thanks

hm, don't assume that all that logging will be exposed forever in a
generic way; a lot is for specific tracing only and i more or less
assume that for problematic issues one will use context as benchmark
anyway (in fact, I've even been thinking of a stripped down generic
variant i.e. no unneccessary more context and dev related overhead
(leaner and meaner) which is possible once we're stable.
So it's more convenient if I just uncommented the trace-bugs
elseif trace_bugs then
which means that the message will not be called outside context at all.
On a related note, we would like to reduce verbosity. In

That needs thinking, as i cannot guarantee that logging will stay the
same for those modules; a wrapper might be more stable, so for the
moment I'll define this:
local dummyreporter = function(c)
return function(...)
(texio.reporter or texio.write_nl)(c .. " : " ..
string.formatters(...))
end
end
so, you can define texio.reporter which is not defined by default.
(The namespaces are somewhat protected so i cannot oversee now what
messing with logs will bring in terms of side effects.)

Sounds good. As most of the tracing code follows a clear pattern
it might even be possible to recognize and drop it during the
merge.

Fine with me.

Absolutely.

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] unwanted space and error in combination of writebetweenlist and placecontent[criterium= local]
Hi,
I ran into one error and one problem during building a part as two
columns into the toc.
1. Extra line: I am getting an unwanted extra empty line at the bottom
of two columns with an even number of total lines - with an odd
number of total lines no extra empty line appears. How can I get rid
of it? (see attached example)
2. This error only appears only with \placecontent[criterium=local] in
combination with a beginning line of \writebetweenlist; with a global
\placecontent and \writebetweenlist it works fine. To reproduce this
uncomment the line "%\placecontent[criterium=local]" in the attached
example.
(Sorry that I was not able to make the example shorter, I needed some
"meat" to fill the toc for the showcases)
Thanks,
H.
