Re: [XeTeX] xetex and xelatex bug in MiKTeX 2.9

Several users has reported that xetex and xelatex included in MikTeX 2.9
(and perhaps MiKTeX 2.8) is buggy. The minimal document is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Arabic,Mapping=parsidigits]{XB Zar}% replace it with any
other Arabic/Persian font that you have
\usepackage{bidi}
\setRTL
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
1+2=3
\end{equation}
\end{document}
The reported problem is that equation number does not appear in the PDF. Can
anyone confirm this
Yes. The equation number is printed with round braces and when a
font with Script=Arabic is used round braces has interesting side
effects on numbers.
\documentclass{article}
\font\test=Scheherazade/ICU:script=arab;language=DFLT;
\begin{document}\test
123 (123 abc
123 (123abc
345 789)
\end{document}
gives as output
123 abc
123 (123abc
345 (78
So numbers and the braces are swallowed in some cases.
and if yes, would this be fixed in MiKTeX 2.9 (and perhaps in MiKTeX 2.8).
If it is only a miktex bug and if the source can be found ... But at
first it should be checked that it is not a xetex bug.
Miktex uses the version:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-0.9997.5 (MiKTeX 2.9)

Thanks a lot for the answer. Actually, the looping itself is not a

I'm still trying to decipher Ulrike's answer (bearing in mind that I
don't speak any latex 3 at all).
You don't need to much about latex 3, only that you activate the
catcodes with \ExplSyntaxOn. The more important knowledge you need
is how to define a mathversion. I just tried my code with
unimath-symbols. It seems to work fine. I attach the new version.
The glyphs of the second font are inserted with \SYMBUF. Attention:
if you want to change the definition of command you must do it in
two places (in the \mathaccent section it has a different
definition).
While testing I found out that \Cap and Cup give different results.
I would say XITS is wrong:
Yes, in a charmap tool like babelmap, U+22D3 DOUBLE UNION and
U+22D2 DOUBLE INTERSECTION are confused (standing upside down?),
but blame STIXGeneral -- XITS just inherits the mistake.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}

\setmathfont{Asana Math}
$\Cap \Cup$

[XeTeX] \hyphenation{} and combining diacritics
I'm creating some hyphenation rules for Jarai texts that I'm
interlinearizing. Here's the problem: In various texts, a complex character
such as LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE might be encoded as a single code
point (U+0103) or as a combination of code points (LATIN SMALL LETTER A:
U+0061 plus COMBINING BREVE: U+0306). The \hyphenation{} command does not
treat the two things as the same, meaning that I have to create two versions
of a word if it has one accented character, four versions if it has two
accented character, nine versions if it has three, etc. For example:
\hyphenation{hơ-nuă hơ-nuă hơ-nuă hơ-nuă}
(because O WITH HORN can be two code points or one)
Is there a simple way to tell (Xe)LaTeX to treat precomposed and uncomposed
characters identically without having to put in all the possibilities?

Re: [XeTeX] \hyphenation{} and combining diacritics
Unicode normalization was discussed on this list a couple of months ago. Phil Taylor provided a small program to do the job, and other utilities were referred to. There's also a command within XeTeX that normalizes unicode before passing it to TeX's digestion. Try this in your header: % Normalize any residual Unicode combining accents, % and write out error messages, if any: \XeTeXinputnormalization=1 \tracinglostchars=1 \tracingonline=1 Dominik On 8 July 2011 22:50, Joshua and Amy josh.ruth...@gmail.com wrote: So, I guess I was foolish to hope that Google has figured out how to return results that have non-identical but equivalent strings?

I'm sure google has figured this out, and some programs to an automatic conversion to composed or decomposed form. But I wouldn't be surprised if some programmer's editors, for example, don't do that (for some purposes, such as search-and-replace, the difference might be important), and maybe some other programs don't either. I hope it's not too off-topic for this list, but can you point me to any good resources on normalization (is there a straightforward automation for someone who doesn't do scripting? am I supposed to use decomposed characters?)? You can use either composed or decomposed characters for most purposes, although as I say some programs do an automatic (and possibly invisible) conversion. There's a general article on this issue here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence I know of library functions in Python that do the conversion; I'm sure they exist in Perl too. But I'm not aware of a general program (like iconv) that does it. (I think there's a hack with iconv that allows it to create decomposed forms, but that is not a bidirectional conversion.) Maybe someone else on this list knows of tools that do that. (What OS are you working on?) Mike Maxwell -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

This is a better answer than mine, so disregard my noise. But I do have a question below: On Fri, 8 Jul 2011 23:13:41 +0200, Dominik Wujastyk wujas...@gmail.com wrote: ...

Many, thanks, all, and sorry for missing the earlier discussion. But back to my original question, is there a way to get \hyphenation to require only one form and the rest come for free?
