Hans,
would it be possible to add a embold feature (similar to the slanted
font feature) that fakes the bold font with
\starteffect[both]...\stopeffect and it doesn’t strecht the font?
much is possible if i can motivate myself
Good to know in order to propose new features :-).
This was already requested by Ulrike Fischer
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/090094.html).
hm, i don't like such crappy features but anyway it has to be done at
the engine level (some efficient generic extension) ... so, if i add
something like that it won't happen in the current luatex release (which
is close to being frozen due to tex live) but later (e.g. the ctx
meeting luatex release)
(even then it probably demands some heuristic dimension trickery when
loading a font)
i did some experiments and there will be something in luatex 1.08 or
1.09 (planned to be released in september) so you have to be patient
Just out of curiosity (and not related to this feature), I see that
Windows and Linux binaries (both 64bit) in the Suite contain different
versions (1.08 v. 1.07).
Is version 1.08 to be released or only the Windows platform contains the
latest stable binaries for LuaTeX?
only after tex live has been frozen (tag 1.07) we will officially move
to 1.08 (then trunk)
windows always has the edge as Akira compiles the latest greatest too so
that permits experiments (he also always tests it so that helps us a lot)
don't expect support for experimental versions on this mailing list as
we feel free to change whatever we like
(fwiw: we don't expect huge functionality changes .. the biggest change
coming is lua 5.3 which can have a few consequences for those writing
lua as well as a 5-10 % performance boost)
