Re: [XeTeX] [tex-live] Ftuture state of XeTeX in TeXLive

The problem is, it's easier to blame luaotfload for its uncertain status than to sit down and write a replacement; so please let's not forget that without luaotfload LuaTeX wouldn't be different from PDFTeX as far as fonts are concerned. That was not what I was trying to convey. What I

Re: [XeTeX] [tex-live] Ftuture state of XeTeX in TeXLive

XeTeX font support is heaps better and stable than what luaotfload package offers and I guess that is why many users still like using xetex instead luatex. I personally believe that it is a bad practice that luaotfload just copies ConTeXt code, it should not be deeply dependent on ConTeXt

Re: [XeTeX] Performance of ucharclasses

No, the license of the package in not LPPL. In fact, it is non-free and that is why it is not included in TeXLive. The README in License section says: You may freely use this package, but you are discouraged from modifying this package and then redistributing it. Instead, please contact me

Re: [XeTeX] Performance of ucharclasses

Yes, firstly because it does not make the software free any more (not just free in price but also free in modification, etc) and secondly LPPL never discourage you from modifying the software. On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 8:53 PM, Philip TAYLOR (Webmaster, Ret'd) p.tay...@rhul.ac.uk wrote: Vafa

I apologize for my very late response. I changed my email address and was not aware of your reply. I did not look into that - I'm not fluent in TeX, and it is quite time-consuming for me to grok such defs. Do you think your fix should work as a drop-in replacement, or were you just giving an

Re: [XeTeX] Missing char, missing footnote

Without floating environment \caption will not work. There are tricks how to do it but imagine what happens if there is no space for the whole table on the page. You will have to invent some additional text above the itemization list in order to put a few items and the table to the next page.

Re: [XeTeX] Missing char, missing footnote

The footnote occurs within a floating table. Which page should it go onto? Put the {tabular} into a {minipage}, then the footnote will be tied to that. better use ftnxtra package: http://ctan.org/pkg/ftnxtra -- Subscriptions, Archive, and
