OT salt feature not working?

OT salt feature not working?

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \definefontfeature[default][default][salt=yes]
    \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Neo Euler]
    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
    1110

    \type{1110}
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

I get the same results with or without the first line commented out.
(I’m using latest beta from 2017.03.02 22:23.)

Is this a bug or what am I missing?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

The issue is with the font:

    \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]
    \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
    \definefontfamily[mainface][hw][Neo Euler]
    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=5ex]
    1110

    \hw 1110
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

Just in case it helps, LuaTeX-0.95 from TeX Live 2016 works fine with
both features in this font:

    \input ifluatex.sty
    \ifluatex\input luaotfload.sty\fi
    \font\1="euler.otf:+salt"
    \font\2="euler.otf:+onum"
    \1 1110\2 1110
    \bye

I don’t know why this happens. Could anyone confirm the issue?

bug in \definefontfamily? (was: Re: OT salt feature not working?)

Hi Joseph,

sorry, the second sample was different. The first line was TeX Gyre
Pagella and the second line was Neo Euler.

The default feature for the whole text was old numbers. TeX Gyre Pagella
works fine with it, but Neo Euler (with \definefontfamily) doesn’t
honour "onum".

But \definefont works fine, so I guess something might be improved in
\definefontfamily. See the sample:

    \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]
    \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
    \definefontfamily[mainface][hw][Neo Euler]
    \definefont[directFont][euler.otf:+onum]
    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=5ex]
    1110

    {\hw 1110}

    \directFont 1110
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

BTW, Neo Euler has "Neo-Euler" as PostScript name (according to
otfinfo). Maybe this is causing problems to the font loading mechanism.

Wolfgang, what do you think of this issue?

Many thanks for your help,

When you use a math font (which Neo Euler is) the argument of the 
features key
is ignored and \definefontfamily uses internal default values instead. 
These default
values can only be overwritten by feature values for each alternative, e.g.

     \definefontfamily[...][...][Neo 
Euler][tf={style:regular,features:default}]

Many thanks for your explanation, Wolfgang.

I didn’t consider that Neo Euler might be a default font. And I didn’t
know that the values would be internal values which had to be
overwritten by feature values for each alternative.

BTW, does it happen the same to mono fonts? In the past, I wanted to
check whether quality values for protrusion and expansion would make
sense in the document I was typesetting, but I couldn’t make it work for
mono fonts.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

The default values are only a thing for math fonts (but you’re using
it outside of math) and I want to ensure goodies files etc. with
font fixes are loaded.

No, mono fonts use the global feature settings but you can change this 
for all
mono fonts with \setupfontfamily[tt][features=none].

But [features={none, quality}] disables everything and I canot enable
protrusion plus expansion only.

At least, it doesn’t work with \definefontfamily. I haven’t tested this
with \setupfontfamily.

The "none" feature disables ligatures, kerning etc. which makes sense
when you use amonospaced font for code listings etc.

When you plan to use a monospaced font for normal text setting the
alignment to flushleft makes more sense.

\definefontfamily[mainface][mono][Latin Modern Mono Prop][features=quality]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]

\setupalign[hanging]

\showframe[text][text]

Yes, this might work, but I’m afraid I need to disable other default
features such as ligatures (not only liga, but TeX ligatures).

I had this problem typesetting XML sources and I didn’t know how to
disable the other features.

My main interest in having mono with quality are standard paragraphs
with Roman text. Expansion and protrusion enable better line breaking.
And if mono doesn’t get protrusion, you may find wrong optical margins
(protrusion), because the lack of it only on the mono face.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

The default setting is “feature=default” and to get expansion/protrusion 
additional
to kerning etc. you have two options:

1. Add them to the default feature with 
\definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]

2. Set multiple feature with 
\definefontfamily[...][...][...][features={default,quality}]

You can use the second method when you want only expansion/protrusion. 
When you
set only “features=quality” kerning isn’t enabled because the default 
features aren’t
applied to your font.

don't use that :+onum interface ... it's supported but more as side 
effect .. define featuresets and use those *featureset

not true

expansion can make excessive spacing less excessive
protrusion is an esthetic feature

esp protrusion also adds constraints (i.e. one cannot selectively 
protrude a hyphen in one line and not in the next one for instance) so 
the solutionspace doesn't become much better

(fwiw, personally i never use expansion but occasionally i use protrusion)
