Hans, I fully agree. This "fancy shifting" is ridiculous, of course.
But it's actually unavoidable because it was introduced by Knuth and
we all know that Knuth is infallible. IMO it's (more than) sufficient
if "Lua\TeX" contains "\TeX".
indeed, and i have definitely have no problem with the tex logo at all
as it's Don's nice joke; it's just the additional 'funny' shifting in
derived logos that i dislike (esp when using special fonts as in etex
and amstex cum suis)
ok, i admit that the random generated metafun logo is also somwhat over
the top but at least it sits on the baseline
In order to avoid endless discussions I think that Taco should decide
and carve his decision in stone.
don't worry, we already decided for the simple case long ago; we made
the decision before the first version of luatex was demonstrated - at
the tug conference in wuhan/china -)
btw, the first instance luatex binary was generated by hartmut so that
was actually the moment that the name 'luatex' as program showed up
first; those historic bits and pieces are described someplace
