alpha release / latin modern

alpha release / latin modern

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I posted an alpha release. Main differences:

- some efficiency changes in language parts

   needed for || extension

- latin modern fonts instead of cmr/plr/csr/aer/vnr:

   fetch the cont-lmt.zip file if needed

- david antos' wish, test for this:

   \unprotected \setuplanguage
     [cz]
     [\c!compoundhyphen=-,
      \c!leftcompoundhyphen=-,
      \c!rightcompoundhyphen=-]

   % \protect

   \starttext

   \def\test{|<|test|>| \dorecurse{100}{test||}test}

   \en  \test \endgraf
   \nl  \test \endgraf
   \de  \test \endgraf
   \deo \test \endgraf
   \cz  \test \endgraf

   \stoptext

   cz setting not yet in language files, test first

Ok, but lm is (as far as I know) still not quite usable for e.g. my 
journal. I sent a list of needs to Jacko quite a while back but i don't 
know if they r being considerd or not. Basically we need a global 
old-style numeral option and to fix/add some accents. I'm ready to work 
with u and Jacko to get this done...

Are there things in cmr that are not in latin modern? Keep in mind that the math 
  fonts are still cmr (although some day there may be extensions in that aera as 
well)

No, but I use old-style numerals as default (as it should be in much of 
the liberal arts and
critical scholarship). There are also a few accents that I have to make on 
the fly with (amateurish) macros, including the shorter bar over lower 
case <i> and some others. lm should provide all of this by default.

Until lm develops further, can you make a virtual lm font (with 
typescripts etc) that defaults to old-style numerals? Then I can still use 
my accent macros (which of course defeats the whole raison d'etre of 
lm;->) till lm fixes/implements these.

Also note that I'll explicitly credit Jacko/lm in the colophon of the next 
issue of my journal if we can fix this.

ok, everything is in the attached file aqc-trans.sty (also 2 b found in 
your private sanaah tree \texmf-var\tex\generic\sanaah). Most important:

1.

\def\h#1{{\oalign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\SHIFT{34}%
     \vbox to.2ex{\hbox{\char'25}\vss}\hidewidth}}}

% this one fails when using m-bib so I have some workarounds in the 
attached file

2.

Out of curiosity, are the old-style numerals from CM (cmmi*, I presume)
in any shapes other than roman? I had the impression there were no real
italic or bold variants, but I could be wrong (and would love to know
where to find them, in that case!).

There is a bold version for the 10pt case only (cmmib10), and I created a 
font switch \ob to use old-style bold at any bold size when necessary (no 
optcal scaling). \bf still switches to the optically-scaled bold, while 
\ob uses cmmib10's numerals:

\definestyle [oldstylebold] [\ob] []

:

\definefontsynonym [OldStyleSerif-Bold]         [cmrosb10]
%cmrosb10 is a virtual font that calls the numerals from
%cmmib10

:

\definefontsynonym [SerifBold]             [OldStyleSerif-Bold]

:

\definebodyfont
   [20.7pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt]
   [rm]

    bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1,

Ok, the next alpha will offer you:

Hallo Hans,

I save time to install new release and start to test. Good news:
1) The hyphen code can be processed with cont-cz.
Bad news:
1) \c!compoundhyphen atc. are not defined in cont-con.tex
2) it preserves long-variant hyphen for \cz case (no difference between 
\en and \cz):

\unprotected \setuplanguage
     [cz]
     [compoundhyphen=-,
      leftcompoundhyphen=-,
      rightcompoundhyphen=-]

\starttext

\en \dorecurse{100}{test||}test \endgraf
\cz \dorecurse{100}{test||}test \endgraf

I want to compare Czech accented chars in lm and csr. I started with the 
bellow code, but no criticalchars is visible in both cases. Log is 
enclosed. What are the proper family/typescript names?

Thanks for help.

Sorry Hans, I did not distinguish between current and alpha, only 
between alpha-betha.

Now it works well, indeed...

So can we move

\unprotected \setuplanguage
     [cz]
     [\c!compoundhyphen=-,
      \c!leftcompoundhyphen=-,
      \c!rightcompoundhyphen=-]

onto cont-cz.tex ?

And related question. Is there ANY czech user who uses cz interface, 
like \definujramovani? I guess not. It is very unconfortable and 
confusing especially for unskilled ConTeXter to edit cont-cz.tex to switch
   \def\defaultinterface{czech}
to
   \def\defaultinterface{english}

If nobody complain I suggest \def\defaultinterface{english}
to be default for cont-cz.

Thanks

RE: \defaultinterface for cont-cz

[Martin Kolařík]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1761 bytes --]

Hi all,

I'm using english interface in cont-cz too... But, maybe, it could be useful
to determine interface in the highest level -- during making the format
like:

texexec --make cz --commands en

I know --interface cz cannot be used as --interface is used to select
ConTeXt format (to rewrite texexec defaults).

What about this?

Have a nice day,

Martin

it was possible to say something

texexec --make --lang=en,cz --font=csr etc etc

to get an english format with czech fonts

however, the new version will have latin modern in ec format preloaded, so then

   texexec --make --all

will do (i may even consider loading all patterns always by default)

and in your document:

\mainlanguage[cz] % optionally \enableregime[il2]

and there is no need for special formats

Yes, presence of cz patterns in cont-en solve the confusion.

no, if all your czech friends agree, it can move to lang-sla.tex

cont-cz was never meant to be english in interface

> to be default for cont-cz.

the cont-cz name is reserved for the interface, so if you really want a czech 
format, you need to go cont-en-cz or so

Re: alpha release / latin modern

[Vit Zyka]

> \setupencoding[default=il2] \usetypescript[modern][\defaultencoding]

There is some mess with encoding, I think:

-------------------------
\setupencoding[default=il2]
\def\criticalchars{\dcaron=\v d=ď}

\starttext
   \usetypescript[modern][\defaultencoding]
   \criticalchars
\stoptext
------------------------
Both \dcaron and \v d give proper glyph, but direct 'ď' not.

If I understand correctly, now the actual typescript is defined in 
type-exa.tex encoding: enco-il2.tex map: il2-public-lm.map with glyph 
encoding: csrm.enc.

So problem is at the very beginning stage. I check if input file is 
exactly in il2 encoding, yes it is. 'ď' has catcode letter. So a the 
letter is should enter the font.

Where is problem?

I think it's with two things:
1) you're not using \enableregime[il2]
2) there's no il2 regime anyway!

Perhaps (as a temporary fix), you could convert your file to UTF-8
encoding and include \enableregime[utf] in your input file?

another option is to copy cont-en into cont-xx and replace the ec in there by il2

(or to say: \definetypeface[modern][il2] \setupbodyfont[modern], but that is 
slower)

OK. That is the game. Chars were born.

I prepared a quick comparision of Czech/Slovak accented letters (Latin 
Modern v. CS Fonts). See http://typokvitek.com/tmp/latin.pdf

Font design is very subjective game, I know. There is my comment:
1) LM has very ugly caron
2) caron is too high at both capitals and minuscules
3) ring is lifeless/faint
4) acute is OK; I would prefer vertical position somewhere inbetween LM 
an CS, but CS are consistent with tight accents (acute and caron)
5) \v t: caron is too low (does not look as neither ligature connection 
nor separate accent

No kernings checking for now, just glyph drawing. I can ask LM author 
(Boguslaw Jackowski <bop@bop.com.pl> ?) about his opinion. But the 
current tests (especially points 1,2,3) prevent me from the LM font 
usage in ConTeXt.

So, for me, there are two possibilities to fullfil my aesthetic feeling:
1) go back to the old (no lm) ConTeXt version, or
2) simple switch to set complete CS fonts environment (I use the next 
code, but it is just a quick hack:
   \loadmapfile[il2-ams-cmr.map]
   \definetypeface[computer-modern][il2] \setupbodyfont[modern]

I prefer the second variant. Can we find its solution?

Thank

a better solution is to use alternative glyphs, now, one problem is that there 
are no il2-lm files in the lm distribution and such things could be solved in a 
il2-lm.* tfm set combined with enc files that map to the prefered instances of 
glyphs (some glyphs are present in more variants), so

i prefer the first variant with adaptions since that was part of the reason for 
the lm project: replace plr, csr, aer etc

kerning is a different game, since the csr metric files are used, you get the 
same kerns as in csr; but future versions of lm will have improved kerning pairs

added to the previous mail: german has dedicated umlauts in latin modern, so 
what you ask for is dedidated (positioned lower) caron's and such; about the 
small circular thingie, it indeed looks a bit to spiny in latin modern, so that 
may be a bug (you may as well be one of the first czech tex users looking into 
latin modern -)

Isn't that a matter of taste? Think of mixed language usage (not that strange in 
todays europe), then one wants consistency and this was one of the objectives of 
  the latin modern fonts.

indeed, let's see what Jacko thinks of it

this is a disputed area, afaik latin modern is following the typographical 
correct rules (font/language experts were involved in that)

hm, isn't that a matter if viewing and printer resolution?

There has been some discussion with czech users in the previous lm dev stage, so 
... do you know of any usage of lm in czech?

I have asked Czech TeX users for their opinion yesterday. Now I want to

the discussion results and will sent it here and to Jacko.

in addition to previous mails: encodings are switched by font switches, i.e. 
each font has an associated encoding, so in principle one can have typefaces and 
styles with mixed encodings; the default is ec which happens to partially 
overlay with il2 and unless some regime is used, your specific input

Ah, here's a conflict: XeTeX doesn't have latin modern yet. (Needs to be
converted to OpenType, with some special table enabled... JK hasn't
documented it yet.) Do you have a switch to avoid the cmr-lm conversion?

Also, something I just realised (thanks to Vit's example): XeTeX hasn't a
clue when it comes to grid typesetting. (Has to do with the difficulty of
getting the metrics from the platform fonts, I think.)

hm, we should have a \beginXETEX ... \endXETEX section then

but before we do that, can you contact

   Boguslaw Jackowski <bop@bop.com.pl>

there has be done some work on lm open type so maybe if you join forces ...

context does grid typesetting itself, there is no dependency on pdftex or so

I sort of tried to say that XeTeX's vertical measurements are very
conservative (based on Apple's text system: it just doesn't want to let
lines get too close!).

Anyway, here are some adjusted logos that seem to save 80% of my
headaches in XeTeX's vertical spacing:

\beginXETEX depth adjustment of logos
\let\NormalTeXLogo\TeX    %save it---just in case!
\def\XeTeX{X\smash[d]{\lower.5ex\hbox{\kern-.15em\mirror{E}}}\kern-
.1667em\TeX}
\def\TeX{T\smash[d]{\kern-.1667em\lower.5ex\hbox{E}}\kern-.125emX}
\endXETEX

what cmr does xetex use? a special version? we can of course make a xetex 
specific typescript to setup the default fonts

It's a straight opentype encapsulation of the CMR type1 fonts from CTAN,
as far as I can tell. 

Getting LM in there is a function of $x$ Jonathan Kew's time, $y$ when
the next XeTeX release is, and $z$ the stability of LM's current release.

I'll try to measure $z$ with Jacko later today...
