Thanks Luigi, Wolfgang. But this does not work if I use
\page~\page
(I need that in some cases for manually inserting a empty page). So the
question is how to insert empty pages – but of course respect them in
page numbering, I mean that the number is not shown on the page, but the
page is counted, s.t. the next pages have the correct numbers).

Re: [NTG-context] 'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature

Hi there,
sorry for bothering again with this issue, but I need to be sure in
order to properly report to the font developer of FreeSerif.

The first line has no GPOS kern enabled and the second line has it.
In order to report it to the font developer (I have the problem not with
ConTeXt, but with my ereader [I used ConTeXt to check the font
features), I have the following questions:
-In the example above, is the old TrueType kern enabled on the first line?
-If not, how can I enable it, without enabling the liga or kern OpenType
features?
I need this to see the actual kerning form the old TrueType kern table
(I suspect it hasn't the same values as the OpenType kern feature).
We don't really make a distinction. Kerns are either a property of a
character (truetype method) or are organized as lookups. Both are driven
by 'kern' and it's not possible to choose a specific method as it's font
driven. In the first case, enabling the kern feature will also enable
the kerns and there is no dependency on language and script. In the
second case a language script combination drives the injection of kerns.
So, for each combination there can be different kerns (won't happen often).
Now, if a font designer decides to group kerns according to languages
(makes less sense than for instance grouping ligatures which do have a
dependency on languages) he/she has to make sure that it's done in such
a way that it doesn't lock out.
For instance, you can have kerns (optionally in your font organized in
classes) that kerns latin characters and group them in latn/dflt and do
something similar for latn/anylanguage but then you expect the user
to choose the right combination. So, choosing latn/dflt can lock out
greek or whatever. This means that when one defines kerns for say
devanagari but also wants to have mixed in latin/* scripts supported,
one could best also enable latn/* kerns there (just add lookups to the
feature specification).
As the serif font you use has support for many scripts, extra care has
to be taken for mixed usage. Also, normally a dflt/dflt combination is
defined (read: no script or language chosen) which should work out okay
for most cases. Anyhow, in the serif font (1) a dflt/dflt combination
has to be supported (added) and (2) you/someone needs to check if when
you choose greek, you still got kerning for latin.

I am using Mac OS X 10.8 and the versions of LuaTex and ConTeXt are This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012052309 (TeX Live 2012) ConTeXt ver: 2012.11.23 17:35 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.26 int: english/english Thank you.

Re: [NTG-context] 'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature
Hi Hans, Pablo, et al.
I'm the admin of GNU FreeFont. I'll respond to some of these points.
1) I have yet to reproduce Pablo's output PDF on either of two systems. As
I am unfamiliar with ConTeXt, I can only guess how it was built. I tried
the file quoted here as input to the 'context' command, but it chokes on
the \showfontkerns line. It would help very much to have a working example
with the proper command line to build it.
2) I understood that ConTeXt only uses the old-style TrueType 'kern' table,
rather than the OpenType 'kern' GPOS lookup. If that is the case, I would
suggest that you consider to change the logic to first use the OpenType
lookup, and if it doesn't exist, fall back to the TrueType table. Several
applications are already complaining that both exist; the plan is to drop
support for the TrueType table in FreeFont.
3) In most applications, the script of a run of text is determined from the
Unicode. This is the assumption made in FreeFont. The GNU FreeFont policy
starts from its essence as a Unicode font, in which no particular script is
default. (Some generic features that are not specific to any script, are in
{dflt,dflt}.)
There was a suggestion that Latin kerns should be activated by
{script,lang}={dflt,dflt}. Let me ask, should Devanagari kerns also be
activated by {dflt, dflt}? If not, why?
It appears that there maybe some conflict her with TeX implementaions. I
don't completely understand this. Maybe we can find a solution.
4) I have written something like Pablo's test using XeTeX and fontspec.
Kerning works very well with GNU FreeFont. Find attached.
5) There was also a report that OpenType kerning doesn't work in some
E-Book readers (I know this isn't the forum for that, but ...) . My iriver
Story kerns very nicely text in FreeSerif. Can I get an example of an
E-reader for which kerning fails? (I really don't doubt that they exist!)
Cheers!

question is how to insert empty pages – but of course respect them in page
numbering, I mean that the number is not shown on the page, but the page is

You can add a empty page in your document with \page[empty].

My own policy is, unless a feature must be restricted to a specific
script/language (e.g. a locale-specific feature), all features should be
assigned to *all* scripts in the font, including DFLT/dflt, because
there is technical reason for doing otherwise and it would help
applications not doing automatic script/language itemisation (both
OpenType-enabled TeX engines, for example).

Re: [NTG-context] 'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature
Hi Luigi,
As I said, this example does not produce a PDF file for me. I will attach
the output.
Undefined control sequence ...
...and it points to \showfontkerns
In previous attempts to load a font file directly, I used a command
structures something like
[file:FreeSerif.otf*default],
but these never worked for me either,
and you seem to be using some other method.
How should one load the file for this example?
You didn't answer the question: to investigate this behaviour, must I
install a second, newer version of context, or can I use the disro
version? What is the reason for installing the latest version of ConTeXt?
Is this \showfontkerns only in versions newer than 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV ?
This \showfontkerns may be interesting to me, generally. (So I have a
further incentive to get this going!)

vertical bars are the result of \showkerns
I thought the problem was that sometimes kerning isn't activated.

My own policy is, unless a feature must be restricted to a specific
script/language (e.g. a locale-specific feature), all features should be
assigned to *all* scripts in the font, including DFLT/dflt, because
there is technical reason for doing otherwise and it would help
applications not doing automatic script/language itemisation (both
OpenType-enabled TeX engines, for example).
That makes much sense (unless a font has hundreds of different lookups
for multiple features which could slow down basic processing).

3) In most applications, the script of a run of text is determined from
the Unicode. This is the assumption made in FreeFont. The GNU FreeFont
policy starts from its essence as a Unicode font, in which no particular

script, are in {dflt,dflt}.)
There was a suggestion that Latin kerns should be activated by
{script,lang}={dflt,dflt}. Let me ask, should Devanagari kerns also be
activated by {dflt, dflt}? If not, why?
because one text can contain multiple scripts
This is interesting.
There are different notions of text here, depending on point of view.
Certainly a sentence could contain a mixture of scripts.
When I said run of text I meant it from the point of view of how font
featues are applied to text. Usually it is a small chunk of text, with
chunks separated by white space or other delimiters.
In web browsers, etc, if a run of text is, say, from the Armenian Unicode
range, the script is judged to be Armenian for the purposes of matching
OpenType lookups.
(The information of what *language* is meant by the text must be supplied
otherwise, in this case, in a 'lang' attribute).
Now, you could imgaine applying an OpenType lookup to, say, a Malayalam
letter immediately followed by an Arabic letter, but this is .. I think...
really pointless.
Even in text containing very mixed scripts, at least the words from the
different scripts are separated by white space (or other punctuation etc).
So the mechanism of determining the script of a run of text does
typically make good sense.
That all said:
It's not clear to me how this is implemented in ConTeXt. I'll play with it
once I have some examples working. My guess is, the author has to
explicitly indicate the script each run of text (by specifying the
attributes of the font to apply to the run).

It's quite common that mkiv from texlive is too old (and those ones form the distro too). but it's not a problem because installation is easy. -- luigi ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

On 11/30/2012 10:25 PM, Steve White wrote: Luigi, OK, I get it. (I have wasted a couple of hours, it seems.) I'll do as you first recommeded. When you have a working context, you can also try the update process: just run the first-setup script again and it will sync. Normally the minimals are synced every 30 minutes (or nowadays maybe 15). Keep in mind that these days Mojca is moving the whole setup to a new server. I've uploaded a beta that supports this: \starttext \enabletrackers[visualizers.fontkern] \setupscripts[features=auto] \definedfont[freeserif*default] \language[en]Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. \language[gr]Επειδή η αναγνώριση της αξιοπρέπειας, που είναι σύμφυτη σε όλα τα μέλη της ανθρώπινης οικογένειας, καθώς και των ίσων και αναπαλλοτρίωτων δικαιωμάτων τους αποτελεί το θεμέλιο της ελευθερίας, της δικαιοσύνης και της ειρήνης στον κόσμο. \language[en]Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people. \language[gr]Επειδή η παραγνώριση και η περιφρόνηση των δικαιωμάτων του ανθρώπου οδήγησαν σε πράξεις βαρβαρότητας, που εξεγείρουν την ανθρώπινη συνείδηση, και η προοπτική ενός κόσμου όπου οι άνθρωποι θα είναι ελεύθεροι να μιλούν και να πιστεύουν, λυτρωμένοι από τον τρόμο και την αθλιότητα, έχει διακηρυχθεί ως η πιο υψηλή επιδίωξη του ανθρώπου. \stoptext Here \enabletrackers[visualizers.fontkern] is actually the official way to trigger the kern tracker (we keep some \commands around for old times sake) as it's part of more visual debugging features. \setupscripts[features=auto] This one is new and will do an analysis pass and set triggers for the so called dynamic feature handler (already present, so it was not that much work). One has to explicitly enable this trick and one can never depend on such things. Contrary to other tricks it does not obey grouping (could be done but adds overhead.) \definedfont[freeserif*default] This triggers the font. One can comment the \setupscripts line to see kerns go away. I only defined latn and grek: \definefontfeature[latn][script=latn] \definefontfeature[grek][script=grek] so it uses the regular feature definition mechanism. If this is considered useful we can add more and also think about a namespace (i.e. several predefined setups). In that case I will add the code that obeys grouping. But in order to do that we need tests and that's up to users.

[NTG-context] Including movies in pdf files
Hi, I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie. I tried the following \starttext \externalfigure[clip.mov] \stoptext (where clip.mov is a quicktime movie distributed with Mathematica, which I copied to the current directory). The movie file is 16K and the resultant PDF file is 4.5K, which means that the movie is not embedded in the PDF (which in itself is not a problem, because, IIUC, context does not embed the movie in the pdf file anyways). However, when I open the file in acroread 9.5.1 (on Linux), and no movie is shown in the pdf file. So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can someone provide a minimal working example.

Re: [NTG-context] 'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature
Thanks for all replies Hans, Steve, Bill and Luigi. Sorry for the confusion generated by my questions. I'll try to summarize the whole thing as brief as I can. I happen to have an Sony PRS-T1 reader in which I noticed that the FreeSerif fonts where wrong kerned. I thought it might be something wrong in the fonts and I used ConTeXt to check that. Until this morning I asked whether TrueType kerning was enabled when all OpenType features were disabled, I took for granted that that old TrueType kerning was enabled when the modern OpenType kerning wasn't. Now I know I was wrong. But I reported a bug at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/ and posted the PDF output from ConTeXt. ConTeXt is perfectly fine with FreeSerif, FreeSerif has valid kerning and the problem is in the Sony PRS-T1 reader that cannot read the kerning and ligature information. I have even discovered that the Sony PRS-T1 ereader has a bug that prevents the display of the FreeSerif bold font. So, I knew that the ereader had some limitations, but I couldn't imagine it was so buggy. The annoying issue here is that reporting the bug may fix the issue and Adobe might release a new version of the reader. But unless Sony releases a new firmware, those bugs are there to stay. Many thanks for your help and apologies for the confusion, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
