update mkiv

update mkiv

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I'm uploading an update. This fixes the missing texmfstart in the 
windows related zips. I also added format generation entries in the 
toolsmenu of scite. Because luatex runs from temp paths, you need to 
regenerate a format after updating.

I also extended ctxtools --update (not tested).

luatools and mtxrun now accept a --selfupdate flag that will replace the 
existing one in the bin path by the one in the script path

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the update. But the newer version of setuptex just does not
work for me. Commenting out all the "unset" sentences and it is fine
for me.

Thank for MKIV. It looks pretty good. I am assuming that the speed 
issues will be sorted out by the time of the final release.

Something is broken at the garden. It says luatools not found. Luatex 
was working yesterday on the garden.

> I also extended ctxtools --update (not tested).

Some initial remarks.

* A newline is missing somewhere in luatools. I get

LuaTools | running command: luatex 
--fmt="D:/Profiles/fkb384/LOCALS~1/Temp/luate
x-cache/context/30023ed61c3aac84b97b84c266f644dc/formats/cont-en"

3.141592-beta-0.10.1-2007
080317 (Web2C 7.5.6)

There should be a \n after "test.tex"

Also

LuaTools | runtime: 54.791 secondsTeXUtil | parsing file test.tui

there should be a \n after seconds.

* There is something wrong with typescripts.

\definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt]

\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext

gives me

l.2 \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt]


The above code works fine with pdftex.

* I really like the new pretty printing module. The single quote 
correct displays correctly. And the state machine for pretty printing 
is much easier to understand in lua than it was in tex.

party, but keep in mind that control has its price (esp with regards to 
fonts)

but we can gain some speed when traditional code is swapped by lua based 
code

some tricky interference between tex and lua (buffering) since the 
newline is there

I am confused. I do not have open type version of charter. I thought 
that it was still possible to use traditional type 1 fonts with mkiv.

The above code also fails on the garden, which means that it will fail 
on traditional installations.

So, how do I use the free bitstream charter that ships with tex 
distributions? I am using the context standalone distribution and have 
afm version of charter (bchb8a.afm, bchbi8a.afm, bchr8a.afm, 
bhcri8a.afm) and the pfb versions of the same fonts. I do not have otf 
version of charter.

should work, but for the moment wait till luatex is fixed for indexing 
such fonts

btw, mkiv will not use the tfm files but the afm files

well, in principle we no longer have font encodings, when the afm file 
is found, it will be used and > 256 chars are possible then
