[NTG-context] debugging lmtx and firefox (was: TeXGyre Heros on Firefox)
Dear all, the firefox pdf viewer has problems with at least two sans serif fonts. Using this mwe I get a bad display in ff with Gyre font and Alegreya Font. %\definefontfamily[mainfont][sans][AlegreyaSans] \definefontfamily[mainfont][sans][texgyreheros] \setupbodyfont [mainfont,12pt] \startdocument \starttext \input lorem \stoptext \stopdocument When I create a pdf from LibreOffice with these fonts I have a good display. pdffonts shows different font inclusion: pdffonts libreoffice.pdf name type encoding emb sub uni object ID - --- --- --- - BA+TeXGyreHeros-Regular Type 1Builtin yes yes yes 9 0 pdffonts mwe.pdf name type encoding emb sub uni object ID - --- --- --- - SOVKKO+TeXGyreHeros-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H yes yes yes 1 0 Where Libreoffice has type "Type 1", lmtx has "CID Type 0C". Where Libreoffice has encoding "Builtin", lmtx has "Identity-H". I have no idea if the difference is the cause of the bad display. Luckily chrome based browsers shows the fonts without any flaws. But there are many Firefox users out there who never use a real pdf-viewer. I would like to show them a good result. Any ideas how I can achieve this? juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___

Dear Jan Ulrich, it may be the font type, the enconding (or who knows what). > Any ideas how I can achieve this? I’d rather report the issue (attaching both PDF documents and both outputs from pdffonts) at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/new. I reported an issue with PDF.js not displaying the cover of http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf. The day after my report the fix was merged.

Are the fonts blurry, or are the shapes all slightly distorted? Your test file displays fine on my system. > But there are many Firefox users out there who never use a real > pdf-viewer. I would like to show them a good result. I've been using Firefox (and pdf.js) as my PDF viewer almost exclusively for the past ~2 years, and I've been using ConTeXt LMTX for about the same amount of time. I haven't noticed any font issues, so I suspect that this issue is system-dependant. I've mostly been on Windows for the past few years, but I'm now on Linux, and I haven't noticed any issues with either. > I have no idea if the difference is the cause of the bad display. > > Luckily chrome based browsers shows the fonts without any flaws. Ok, random guess time (so I may be waay off here): I think that this is a hinting problem. The TeX Gyre fonts are all professionally hinted, so what might be happening be that when ConTeXt is subsetting the fonts, it is removing all of the hinting information, while LibreOffice is keeping all of the hints. I've opened PDFs from ConTeXt and LibreOffice in FontForge and the hints are still there, so I don't think that this is the case, but maybe? The hinting format is also wildly different between Type 1 and CFF/OTF, so maybe there is just a bug in one of the font renderers. Chrome uses an internal backend to render all of its text, but Firefox uses system-dependant backends (I think). Most renderers these days will autohint unhinted fonts using an embedded FreeType so that they still display somewhat-well. You can adjust the "hinting strength" in FreeType, which I would guess would usually be set to the maximum. So LibreOffice includes the font hints and things display fine, and Chrome uses a bundled FreeType with maximum hinting so things display fine. Firefox on Windows would need to bundle its own FreeType since there isn't a system one, and it renders fine in my experience. But Firefox on Linux would just use the system FreeType. I think that you are on Linux (?) and the default in Linux is for minimal/no hinting. Now, I've specifically enabled maximum hinting on my system, and I'm not seeing any problems with rendering. If you're using Gnome, can you try enabling "full" hinting in Gnome Tweaks, reboot, then test again? No idea how to configure this with other DEs, but I'm sure that it's possible. Another related guess is that older versions of FreeType maybe had a bug with parsing/displaying hints. I think that Chrome bundles its own FreeType which would be recent, but if you're using Firefox on Linux, it is probably using the system FreeType library. If you're on an older LTS distro, then the system FreeType may be really old and buggy. If you're using macOS, I can't really help you too much except for to say that text rendering on macOS is usually pretty bad unless you have a really high resolution screen. So those are my random guesses. Maybe one of them is helpful somehow. -- Max ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
