Confirmed, the latest sources in the git repository load the file fine. Looks
like [484b95] fixed it.

Image loading on Mac uses ImageIO framework (though for the next major
release we will probably switch to using the cross-platform code
path).

PNG image loading should be fixed now.

It is easier for me to change the PATH, I have a small script in
bash+Tcl-TK to switch between various versions of TL. As I posted (and
reported off the list) at http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/xetex-test/ the
development version of XeTeX and GNU FreeFont have serious bugs in
Devanagari, thus I cannot use it in regular work.

You need to run

sudo fmtutil-sys --byengine xetex

The whole procedure you described can be simplified. Rename in 
/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64 xetex and xdvipdfmx to -orig or such, 
then hard-link the new binaries, and recreate the formats. Afterwards you don't

How is pdflatex handling the LaTeX file?

Do you update TeX Live/Mac TeX with TLU or tlmgr?

Which version of Mac OS X are you on?

Can you send me that PNG file?

How does this LaTeX file work?

\listfiles

After compilation in Linux I did:

cd /usr/local/texlive
cp -Rva 2012 
hardlink.py 2012  (just to save disk space)
cd /bin/x86_64
rm xetex
cp /path/to/compiled/xetex-0..1/xetex ./

Then I switched PATH to point to /usr/local/texlive//bin/x86_64

Thus I use basically the TL2012 environment and xdvipdfmx from TL 2012.

No. XeTeX is just including the PNG file as another future "stream" into the 
XDV output file (included fonts are also PDF "streams"), which then is 
transformed by xdvipdfmx to create a PDF file.

On Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) I could not produce the failure you mention…

Thank you for explanation. My note was just theoretical, all fonts I
use (both commercial and free) contain all glyphs, so for me
personally NFC is no problem.

HarfBuzz takes account of what glyphs exist in the font when choosing
the normalization strategy, so such issue should not occur, if it does
then it is a bug and let us know about it.

I know nothing about Chinese but as I know, in Devanagari characters
with nukta as QA, ZA, FA (and a few others) exist as glyphs with their
own codepoints but can also be entered as KA, JA, PHA with combining
nukta. As I read somewhere, some fonts contain QA, ZA, FA, some fonts
do not. If JA + nukta is normalised to ZA but ZA does not exist in the
font, the character could not be rendered. NFD may be equally bad, if
ZA is decomposed to JA + nukta and the font does not contain nukta,
the character could not be rendered. So it may be an issue but I do
not know whether such problems may occur in nowadays' fonts. Similar
problem may occur even in latin scripts with combining diacritical
marks. The accented glyphs need not exists. Nowadays' fonts contain
all accented characters needed for languages as Czech, Slovak, Polish,
French but I do not know how widely Vietnamese is supported.

Hi,

I can not really tell if this is a bug or a feature, bug HarfBuzz
normalization is independent of input normalization to technically the
input text is not normalised, but it makes little difference with the
PDF output.

If you still think this is an issue, please raise it again on HarfBuzz
mailing list since your old message went unanswered.

Khaled

I just have written a teckit map and applied it to the sample tex file.
The map file is quite simple as follows:

LHSName  "Jamo"
RHSName  "Jamo-ZWJ"
pass(Unicode)
Class [MODLC] = ( U+1100..U+1112 )
Class [MODVO] = ( U+1161..U+1175 )
Class [OLDTC] = ( U+11C3..U+11FF U+D7CB..U+D7FB )
[MODLC]=lc [MODVO]=vo [OLDTC]=tc > @lc U+200D @vo @tc

Then all is ok.
I am satisfied now and personally do not have any complaints about the
new version.

Best,

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX 0.9999.0 released

Hi,

This new version seems to do unicode normalization (NFC) by default.  It
was not the case of previous version of xetex, as far as
\XeTeXinputnormalization=1 is not declared explicitly.

The new feature (or bug) affects pre-modern Hangul texts typeset with some
fonts, eg. Malgun Gothic bundled with windows 8.  To work around, I have to
insert ZWJ or ZWNJ between initial consonant and vowel, which is not a
common practice in Korea.  Attached are sample tex file and pdf.

Anyway, this issue is related to my posting avaliable at
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/harfbuzz/2012-April/001896.html .
As I do not think it is a bug of harfbuzz or other library, I did not
respond any more.  I believe that font developers should cope with that
case, and there are some fonts that give us correct output even without ZWJ
or ZWNJ.

Now with new xetex version, however, this new feature seems to conflict
with the primitive \XeTeXinputnormalization. So not just a feature but a
bug.

Best,

Hello.

As far as Devanagari script is concerned, everything seems to be correct on Mac 
OS X with these binaries. With previous versions diacritics were misplaced but 
it's now fixed. Unfortunately I can't test other Indian scripts because I can't 
read them fluently, but many people on this list can… :)

Best wishes,

I don't know for sure, 4.4 is the lowest version used

Even CentOS 5.0 has gcc 4.1.1, do you think it is enough?

Building from the tarball (or better the release-0..0 branch on git)
should not require having autotools, but you still need a recent enough
gcc (3.x known not to work for HarfBuzz).

I did try building XeTeX on RHEL 5.9, but tools like autoconf are very old
versions, so be prepared for a long session of upgrading tools.   Is it
realistic to expect that TL2013
binaries that use opentype math work on GLIBC 2.5 systems?

I won't get back to the RHEL 5.9 machine until April, by which time I'm
hoping we will upgrade to RHEL 6 (waiting on a vendor to support RHEL 6).

I have just looked at CentOS 5.5 which should be based on RHEL 5.5. It
contains /usr/lib64/libc.co and /usr/lib/libc.so, I do not see any
other libc.so.* under /usr

I can try to build XeTeX on it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I guess that this is about x86_64-linux?

The hardware being used for compiling XeTeX is different than the one
that will be used for building TeX Live 2013, so there is no need to
panic yet ;)

I just need a volunteer or a virtual machine to build against an older glibc.

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX 0.9999.0 released

[George N. White III]

On RHEL 5.9, TLContrib packages don't work:

xetex: symbol lookup error: xetex: undefined symbol: _ZGVNSt7collateIwE2idE
luatex: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by luatex)
luatex: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by
luatex)

RHEL 5 (GLIBC 2.5) dates from 2005 and was expected to be in service 5
years but is still widely used (7 is the new 5).  RHEL 5 can't readily
build the new xetex as the tools are too old, but it looks like RHEL 6 (due
to replace RHEL 5 "real soon now" at many "7 is 5" sites) has GLIBC 2.12,
so if the TLcontrib packages are a guide, should support TL2013:

The binaries for many platforms (windows excluded at the moment) have

tlmgr --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2012 update --all

Khaled thank you very very much for porting XeTeX to HB-NG, especially for
the Graphite 2 support which is sure to be a boon for may people like me!

Am presently engrossed in other (related) things but will get around to
testing the soonest I can.

Many many thanks once again!

[XeTeX] XeTeX 0.9999.0 released

[Khaled Hosny]

Hi all,

I have just uploaded a beta release of 0..x series.

The archive can be downloaded from SourceForge page:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xetex/files/source/

There have been quite some changes in this release, and testing is
highly appreciated, the more testing the better, but please note that
this is a beta release and should not be used in production
environments. There are no pre-built binaries right now, but they should
be available from TLContrib shortly.


Main changes in this release:

* Port OpenType layout from ICU LayoutEngine to HarfBuzz.
  HarfBuzz is actively maintained and generally have much wider support for
  OpenType spec, the switch fixes a number of OpenType bugs:
  - Support version 2 OpenType Indic specs.
  - Many other Indic OpenType bugs, and support for the latest additions to
OpenType spec.
  - Incorrect application of contextual features.
  - Incorrect kerning in fonts that has both old “kern” table and new GPOS
“kern” feature.
  - Allow suppressing Latin ligatures with ZWNJ.
  - Support for variation selectors.
  - Support for user-specified features with complex scripts.

* Port Graphite layout to from SilGraphite to HarfBuzz and Graphite2. Which
  provides a more robust Graphite support and also fixes a number of Graphite
  bugs.

* Port AAT font layout and font searching on Mac from the deprecated ATS/ATSUI
  to Core Text, and image support on Mac from QuickTime to ImageIO framework.
  XeTeX can be finally built on 64-bit Mac! Work contributed by Jiang Jiang.

* Add “/OT” font variant, similar to “/ICU” which is now deprecated.

* Add a “shaper” font option to specify HarfBuzz shapers (for testing).

* Guessed script from input string if no one is given in the font definition,
  instead of defaulting to Latin.

* Support 4-letter tags for Graphite features.

* Use \U prefix for extended math primitives, allowing XeTeX and LuaTeX to use
  the same names for Unicode math primitives supported by both engines. The old
  \XeTeX* primitives have been deprecated and will be removed in the future.

* Support OpenType math cut ins.

* Fix “\show” and “\meaning” of “\Umathchar” to a print a form that is legal
  input.

* Fix italic correction to not depend on space factor being zero for OpenType
  fonts.

* Fix sporadic shifting of extensible accents.

* Fix typesetting XeTeX’s WEB code, in addition to various slight improvements.

* Prefer TrueType/OpenType over Type1 fonts with the same font name.

* Support input pipes, in line with other engines.

* Drop support for using “()” as font names quotes since it was causing file
  names with parenthesis not to be found.

* Fix “\show” with characters outside BMP.

* Print the actual character instead of hex code for characters outside BMP
  with “\show”, “\meaning”, “\showlists” and missing char log messages.

* Fix letterspacing if zero width glyphs.

* Try to get cap and x height from OS/2 table first.

* Reject bitmap only fonts.

* Include build date in “--version” output.
