As I understand the purpose of checksum was to be sure that publisher or printer would use exatly the same fonts as user. If user converts DVI file to PS/PDF one on his/she computer using dvips or dvipdfm* the checksum mostly useless, assuming files are not corrupted. no, the checksum only is some safeguard that vf and tfm match if you go through dvi then dvips or dvipdfmx read the vf files Nowadays pdftex, xetex and luatex are widely used and most time users generate PDF files on the same computer they write documents, send PDF files which have they own mechanism to check font consistency. But still there are [plenty] DVI files around, as well as luatex engine might generate DVI file. The convertion to PS/PDF is performed by dvips/dvipdfm* programs, that's ok. But what about luatex with DVI output? i never use luatex with dvi output My conclusion: 1. if PDF output is only interesting then it is Ok, ignore that message, because font information is already in PDF and PDF programs should deal with it; 2. if DVI output is concerned then luatex _must_ be consistent with pdftex (also can write DVI files), which, imho (don't check), takes care about both TFM and VF checksums. luatex probably is consistent although in most cases the way that it deals with fonts (read: the macro package deals with fonts) is different from the way it's done with pdftex/xetex if i had the time i'd probably run a few tests and see where the mismatch happens but it has a real low priority for me Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

If I try to convert the binary pplr7t.vf to the readable vpl-file I need *two* tfm-files: pplr7t.tfm and pplr8r.tfm. 2. vftovp tells me during the conversion: Check sum in VF file being replaced by TFM check sum which probably means that the vpl-file doesn't contain the original checksum(s) of the vf-file. 3. The vpl file contains two checksums: (CHECKSUM O 25136566211) and a checksum in the mapfont entry: (MAPFONT D 0 (FONTNAME pplr8r) (FONTCHECKSUM O 36571141413) (FONTAT R 1.0) (FONTDSIZE R 10.0) ) So which of both is actually checked against which tfm checksum (and gives the mismatch message)? Btw: Two years ago I ran against a checksum mismatch message concerning the width of characters.

Re: [NTG-context] Dubious checksum mismatch message on log file
Basically it seems coherent with the luatex manual (ch. 7 Font structure):
luatex read the txr.tfm file and set the checksum to the unsigned int 0
(luafont.w ,int font_from_lua(lua_State * L, int f)) (but see Note below)
Then read the vf
(dofont.w, do_vf(f) inside static int do_define_font(int f, const char
*cnom, scaled s, int natural_dir))
do_vf(f) calculate the checksum of the vf file vua test_checksum() macro,
and find that the vf file has checksum
210 43 124 230 =(210*2^24)+(43*2^16)+(124*2^8)+230=3526065382= oct 32212676346
vs
128 0 0 0
and hence the warning of mismatch.
Note:
The last sequence 128 0 0 0 (i.e. 0) it is due to
i = numeric_field(L, checksum, 0);
set_font_checksum(f, (unsigned) i);
where
static int numeric_field(lua_State * L, const char *name, int dflt)
{
int i = dflt;
lua_pushstring(L, name);
lua_rawget(L, -2);
if (lua_isnumber(L, -1)) {
i = lua_roundnumber(L, -1);
}
lua_pop(L, 1);
return i;
}
and
#define lua_roundnumber(a,b) (int)floor((double)lua_tonumber(L,-1)+0.5)
I think one can avoid the warning if set the checksum field to the
correct value by the define_font callback on the lua side.

I think it is related to MKIV (or more precisely to the fontloader).
It is a bit difficult to demonstrate it with context (how to you use
luatex without mkiv there?) but latex (or plain) it is quite easy:
The followings examples load pplr7t.vf. Both give the checksum
mismatch message in the log if and only if the lua-fontloader
luaotfload it also loaded:
%LaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luaotfload}
\begin{document}
\font\test=pplr7t \test abc
\end{document}
%plain
\input luaotfload.sty
\font\test=pplr7t \test abc
\bye
So the code from luaotfload (which is based on the context
fontloader code) changes a checksum (either in the vf or in the
tfm-information) and so the check in the luatex engines fails.
(Imho it is only a minor problem, vf-fonts are not much used with
luatex).

I think it is related to MKIV (or more precisely to the fontloader).
It is a bit difficult to demonstrate it with context (how to you use
luatex without mkiv there?) but latex (or plain) it is quite easy:
The followings examples load pplr7t.vf. Both give the checksum
mismatch message in the log if and only if the lua-fontloader
luaotfload it also loaded:
%LaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luaotfload}
\begin{document}
\font\test=pplr7t \test abc
\end{document}
%plain
\input luaotfload.sty
\font\test=pplr7t \test abc
\bye
So the code from luaotfload (which is based on the context
fontloader code) changes a checksum (either in the vf or in the
tfm-information) and so the check in the luatex engines fails.
(Imho it is only a minor problem, vf-fonts are not much used with
luatex).
Afaik nothing is done with a checksum. There is a checksum field in the
loaded tfm but I don't think one has to be passed to luatex. Maybe one
should be passed when a regular tfm file is used but even then, loading
a vf file is independent.
So, it's best to just ignore that message.

I tried printing the tfm table we pass to the backed, and the checksum matches the one in the VF file, so this is a bit confusing and may be, for some reason, luatex is comparing the checksums for different fonts, but since this does not happen without the font loader it is likely to be the culprit.

then, loading a vf file is independent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this how I understand TFM font and currect
state of tex engines (actually pdftex, xetex and luatex):
1. to use any font in tex one need a TFM file (file name = fontname.TFM),
that file actually contain informationabout font, not how exatly glyphs
are constructed;
2. when [original] tex read a document file it searches for TFM and VF
files, read them and write DVI file with information about that files;
3. after that user can send file to printer or publisher to print it on
printer. As I understand the purpose of checksum was to be sure that
publisher or printer would use exatly the same fonts as user. If user
converts DVI file to PS/PDF one on his/she computer using dvips or
dvipdfm* the checksum mostly useless, assuming files are not corrupted.
Nowadays pdftex, xetex and luatex are widely used and most time users
generate PDF files on the same computer they write documents, send PDF
files which have they own mechanism to check font consistency.
But still there are [plenty] DVI files around, as well as luatex engine
might generate DVI file. The convertion to PS/PDF is performed by
dvips/dvipdfm* programs, that's ok. But what about luatex with DVI
output?
My conclusion:
1. if PDF output is only interesting then it is Ok, ignore that message,
because font information is already in PDF and PDF programs should deal
with it;
2. if DVI output is concerned then luatex _must_ be consistent with
pdftex (also can write DVI files), which, imho (don't check), takes care
about both TFM and VF checksums.

Re: [NTG-context] Dubious checksum mismatch message on log file
Hello,
** luigi scarso [2012-02-01 15:04:07 +0100]:
[...]
I was not sure, that why I began this thread. I started with latex example,
then strip it down to plain tex one and after that came to context
minimal example.
it's also in pdftex: see
function vf_def_font
in
src/texk/web2c/pdftexdir/pdftex.web
Will look in it.
AFAIU, context suite doesn't have plain pdftex and luatex formats,
therefore I compile minimal plain tex example with TeX Live 2011, and
luatex doesn't print such message though it reads vf file.
Hm, have a look at
tex/texmf-context/tex/generic/context/luatex
In my installation this directory doesn't have fmt files. In any case I
will look in it.
The problem indeed may be it luatex and how it works with vf fonts, but
as I said, I'm not sure (don't know very well either plain tex or context).
P.S. Unrelated: seems I completely lost, I read web sources, the
quoted extract from luatex source and I don't understand how this
number '32212676346' can be presented as
cs.b0 * 256 * 256 * 256 + cs.b1 * 256 * 256 + cs.b2 * 256 + cs.b3
If I don't lose my math skills the '32212676346' is
32212676346=7·256^{4}+128·256^{3}+6·256^{2}+110·256^{1}+250·256^{0}
IIRC, 32212676346 should be the checksum stored inside the file, ie
the font_checksum.
Yes, that's right, but I forgot that this is octal number, therefore
032212676346=3526065382=210·256^{3}+43·256^{2}+124·256^{1}+230·256^{0},
so 210,43,124,230 are written in file as D2, 2B, 7C, E6 (which I found
in VF file :).
