Hello Patrick

Besides the gdb part, this is pretty much how I learned LuaTeX
(still on my path). I suggest you stay with plain, then add features
as you go along:
* write your own font handler (see the bluewiki page) - LuaTeX
supports many different kinds of fonts
* write

Dear Hans, Taco et al
I hope this is the appropriate place to ask my question

I've compiled LuaTeX on Windows and have been using Hans'
presentation using plain TEX (from TUG 2009) to construct
a minimal working runtime environment based on plain tex.

Hi Hans
Thank you for your commnts. Oh, for sure, tinkering with
plain is just an interim step along the (long...) road. A very minimal
harness setup to write minimal code --- to play with the various
LuaTeX API functions via GNU's gdb debugger. By building a

Hi
I hope this message is not too off topic but I thought I would
ask here first. I would very much like to (try...) to compile LuaTeX
using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. But I'm not sure if this is likely
to be enormously complex and maybe too difficult (for me, anyway).

Dear Hans + Taco
I have a question about Minion Expert fonts. I do
have a copy of Idris's paper on this very topic but I'm not
sure if this is still the way to install fonts via MKIV/LuaTeX.
I'll give some background on what I'm doing, so my apologies to the
list for the long post.
[Note: happy
Hi, yes I read Idris' comment about that in his paper about
installing Minion Pro. For now I'd like to use this as an opportunity
to learn more about the font machinery in Context/LuaTeX... as part of
my journey towards minimal understanding and writing typescripts for
this collection. Many

Hi Luigi
Great stuff, thank you. If you ever had time to write an
article which really explained the underlying programming
concepts you demonstrated in your slides I am sure you would find a lot

A few (ie 10) years ago I purchased the MinionMM and MyriadMM

I have the full set including the expert fonts. They were really quite

Well if you are really interested then you should
join ntg + tug now. My article --- as many others about luatex mkiv
--- is in the last number of TUGBOAT

LuaTeX fund.

Hi Taco
Totally understand that, many thanks for the clarification.
Back to mmafm, mmpfb :-)

Here is a trivial example using LuaExpat:

\startluacode
require lxp;
text = 'phello world/p'
callbacks = { EndElement = false,
StartElement = false,
Default = function (p, s) tex.sprint(s) end }
p = lxp.new(callbacks)
Hi Luigi
That is very cool work. At present, it is a bit beyond
my fuzzy skills, but I will dfinitely keep a copy of your
slides for future reference as I slowly get a bit
more familiar with LuaTeX etc.
Thanks for sharing that.

Dear All

Just a short note to thank everyone for their various comments. I will
read some more and see how far I can get... and come back when I can
formulate some more precise (better) questions. Am reading through the

In essence, where do I need to start exploring to be able to write such
things --- LuaTeX node processing, colour attributes etc??
Any pointers or guidance to help me start looking in the right place
would be very welcome.
Warm wishes to all
