Re: [Nix-dev] Latex package to handle unicode characters?

[Layus]

Yes, this is one of the numerous things that need to be improved.
You really need to look for previous discussions about this on the 
mailing list and possibly on the wiki/manual.


Other distributions do not provide direct access to texlive packages. 
They provide access to TexLive-full.
I can only assume texlive does not provide stable urls to its packages, 
otherwise these would have been used.
But it may also occur that people working on texlive-new missed that 
feature (which seems unlikely).

AFAIK, you can either use scheme basic, or go trough the update 
procedure described in texlive-new/default.nix to get a (temporarily) 
up-to-date list of hashes and build against that.

Re: [Nix-dev] Latex package to handle unicode characters?

[Guillaume Maudoux (Layus)]

Bottom line is that texlive updates its packages frequently and our md5 are 
always out of sync. We mirror some packages but not the whole scheme-full.

AFAIK, you can either use scheme basic, or go trough the update procedure 
described in texlive-new/default.nix to get a (temporarily) up-to-date list of 
hashes and build against that.

Re: [Nix-dev] Latex package to handle unicode characters?

[Jeffrey David Johnson]

I was using texLiveFull until recently, but now it's marked broken and a 
comment points users to the texlive.combine method. I tried checking out an 
older version of pkgs/tools/typesetting/tex but the dependencies don't line up 
with the rest of nixpkgs anymore. Probably I just want the full set of 
texlive-new packages, even if they're big, becuase I don't know what I'm doing 
enough to pick and choose. So I tried this monster (all collections + inputenc 
packages):

  myTexlive = with pkgs; texlive.combine {
inherit (texlive)
  collection-basic
  collection-bibtexextra
  collection-binextra
  collection-context

Still the same error though. Maybe it's a pandoc issue after all.

Re: [Nix-dev] Latex package to handle unicode characters?

[Guillaume Maudoux (Layus)]

Hi,

`xelatex` comes with the texlive package `xetex`, which is included in
scheme-small.
I just checked that adding xetex to my texlive.combine function, and I
have access to xelatex.

You can try it yourself with
$ ls -l $(nix-build -E "with import  {}; pkgs.texlive.combine {
foo = pkgs.texlive.scheme-small; }")/bin/xelatex  
lrwxrwxrwx 7 root root 5  1 jan  1970
/nix/store/85ix8d6wy1f9lsy97cqyp0z7hp5iaapw-texlive-combined-2015/bin/xelatex
-> xetex

If you do not have xelatex in your env, there must be an issue somewhere.

Best regrads,

-- Layus.

Maybe this helps?

I used to use the texliveFull package, which included xelatex.

FWIW, I no longer use texliveFull; instead I use a Docker container for
all TeX-related things as it is much simpler to use along with
negligible maintenence costs, if at all.

That's probably because it still comes with texliveFull, which is what
most people use I imagine.

AFAIK, Latex never dealt with Unicode natively. Xelatex has much simpler
font support (fontspec) so I've always opted for Xelatex from the beginning.

[Nix-dev] Latex package to handle unicode characters?

[Jeffrey David Johnson]

I get the following error when exporting some markdown to PDF with pandoc:

An error occured: PDF creation failed:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:  not set up for use with LaTeX.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type  H   for immediate help.
 ...  
  
l.150   Evolutionary Analysis}

Try running pandoc with --latex-engine=xelatex.

I could hunt this one character down, but is there a package I could add to my 
texlive environment that might help handle this type of problem in general? So 
far I just use the standard one:

myTexLive = texlive.combine {
  inherit (texlive) scheme-small;
};

Don't see any mention of xelatex in nixpkgs. Ideally I'd like to handle all of 
unicode, but just skipping any unrenderable characters would be OK too, since I 
gather latex doesn't do that yet?

Thanks
Jeff
