New release and XeTeX - XeConTeXt

New release and XeTeX - XeConTeXt

[Otared KAVIAN]

Dear all,

After upgrading to the latest release (that is TeXExec 5.4.3, and
ConTeXt  ver: 2006.05.08 12:59  fmt: 2006.5.9  int: english  mes:
english), when I tried to generate the format with XeTeX (that is to
generate XeConTeXt), with the command

sudo texexec --make --xtx en

I get the folllowing error message:

language        : patterns de for de loaded (n=3,e=texnansi,m=texnansi)
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-de.pat
! Bad \patterns.
\unknownchar ->{
                \hbox {\vrule \!!width .5em\!!height 1ex\!!depth \zeropoint }}
l.114 .ge
         s6
?

Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution?

Many thanks for your help: Otared K.

  Same for me.  The problem is that in line 113, we have
.ge5rö
in Latin-1 encoding, but XeTeX tries reading the file in UTF-8.

> Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution?

  I only have a nasty hack:  In the patterns directory, run (in bash)

for file in *.pat *.hyp
   do iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 <$file >$file-u
done

and in mult-sys.tex, change the lines reading

\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat}
\definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp}

to

\doifundefinedelse{XeTeXversion}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat}
  \definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp}}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat-u}
  \definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp-u}}

There probably is a much better place for this change, but cont-new.tex, 
afaik, is not read when generating formats and I don't know where the 
code really should go.  It mayalso be possible to fix the behaviour by 
some regime switchting in the .pat and .hyp files, but I know very 
little about those commands and haven't tested it.

  Still, XeConTeXt does not work as expected in the current version:
The plain TeX file

\font\myface="Hiragino Mincho Pro W3"
\myface
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\bye

works like a charm, but

\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Hiragino Mincho Pro W3]

\setupbodyfont[myface,14pt]
\starttext
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\stoptext

produces an output containing only a lot of accented latin characters, 
see attached file.


Best regards,
	Christopher

Hi Christopher,

I tried the file you suggest with the latest version of ConTeXt and
generated a new XeConTeXt (ConTeXt  ver: 2006.05.11 10:30  fmt: 2006.5.13,
on MacOS X 10.4.6) and I didn't have any trouble with the following

%% begin japanese.tex
\starttext

\font\Myface="Hiragino Mincho Pro W3" at 14 pt
\Myface
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
%\bye
\blank

works like a charm, and so does the ConTeXt way of defining a typeface:

\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Hiragino Mincho Pro W3]

\setupbodyfont[myface,14pt]

こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。

\stoptext
%% end japanese.tex

the japanese text is typeset identically with \Myface (defined with the good
old Plain TeX way) and \myface (defined in ConTeXt way).

Nevertheless still I encounter other problems with the new version of
ConTeXt and I am reporting them in another thread.

Best regards: OK

how old is your context

the latest version uses utf patterns for both pdftex and xetex so no 
special tricks are needed

  Indeed, that was stone age: 2006.05.08 12:59 - more than five days 
old.  :-)

  Thanks for the pointer.  Strangely enough, I still can't typeset 
simple Japanese, but right now I don't have the time to investigate this 
further.

for xetex indeed, but if we proceed in the way we do now, we will have reasoable stable xetex support soon
