Re: [XeTeX] If font under fontspec
Michiel Kamermans wrote: Purely from a production point of view: if you have a document for which it is important the right fonts are available, making sure the fonts are available to whomever needs to compile it might deserve consideration too. So that rather than trying to fix the source, you throw a compile error that the user does not have the prerequisite fonts to accurately generate the document that was intended to be generated. Just thinking along the original TeX idea that If it compiles, the result is the same for every system it successfully compiles on. Yes, I can understand your reasoning here. Though perhaps I should have explained myself better in the first place. The Syriac font Estrangelo Edessa leaves noticeable white space before the letter ܓ when it is preceded by a non-joining letter. It seems this is a carry over from old metal type. Some people see it as a feature rather than a bug, but I wanted to provide a fairly smart user command for closing up that white space, and have written something with \XeTeXinterchartoks to do so. However, it is important that this kerning isn't applied when other Syriac fonts, which have no gap, are being set. I hope that makes the situation a little more clear.

Hi there,
checking whether a clash between fontspec and babel in LuaLaTeX
(already reported at
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/luatex/2010-August/001895.html), I have
just discovered new issues with this document:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[german,spanish]{babel}
Not sure if it solves things, but don't use babel with xe(la)tex. Use
polyglossia.
Thanks for your help, Michael.
I'm afraid that polyglossia is not an option for me and I guess babel
shouldn't be clashing with fontspec-2.1.
But using the source contained at
http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2010-June/001603.html, I have realized
that hyphenation works fine with fontspec, but to get the \showhyphens
command to work I should load xltxtra package instead.
Sorry for the noise and thanks for your help,
Pablo

Re: [XeTeX] Installation of Texlive on Ubuntu 10.04
Though I didn't tried with Kile, I don't have any problem with Texlive 2010 and texworks, emacs and gvim. By the way, I have just writen an article for students who want to get a try to texlive with windows but who are not really aware of the installation process. Maybe it will be useful for you too : http://niktarace.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/installing-a-tex-distribution-windows-mac-osx-gnulinux-freebsd/ Look at the second item, part 2. 2010/9/22 Juan Francisco Fraile Vicente juanfrancisc...@gmail.com As I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer, I would like to have your advice about what is the best way of installing TeXlive at the moment. What is working better at the moment? Texlive 2010 or 2009? Is it better to do a full install from the iso file or install everything from the repositories of Canonical? When I was in Karmic Koala I installed the full Texlive, not from the repositories. Everything was ok, I used the TeXworks editor of Jonathan, but I tried to install Kile (from source) to give it a try and it was impossible for me. I don't know if the situation is different now, so I would like to know your opinions about this question, what is the best (I mean, less problematic in the future) installation in this distribution. Thanks for your opinions and help in advance.
