[NTG-context] new bets

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I'm going to upload a new beta but this one needs luatex 0.87 which is 
in the process of being released. So, don't update unless you knwo that 
your platform binary is provided (or just keep your old tree as backup).

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

[Bruce Boghosian]

Dear Otared:

Thank you very much!  The third solution works very well when I select the 
"ConTeXt-MKIV" program.

I am still experimenting with the other two solutions, but at least I now have 
a method to get started learning ConTeXt.

Best regards,
Bruce

 can run it, but it does not produce a .pdf file -- just a .tmp file.

[NTG-context] inter-word space in bibliographies

[Alan Bowen]

The appended code is supposed to allow reduction of the inter-word spacing
in my bibliographies but it does not. Adjusting the \spaceskip in the
setups for [tightspace] does not seem to make any difference.

Any suggestions will be most welcome.

I am using the latest beta (ConTeXt  ver: 2015.11.19 19:13 MKIV beta with
LuaTeX 0.85)

[NTG-context] [fontloader/old] mixed substitution / ligatures feature

[Philipp Gesang]

Hi Hans,

in the old loader, defining a feature containing mixed ligature /
substitution causes a crash. Here’s an example:

\enabletrackers [otf.loading]
\startluacode
  fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature ("dunno", {
  {
  type  = "substitution",
  data  = { [0x0022] = 0x201D },
  prepend   = true,
  },
  {
  type = "ligature",
  data = { [0x2013] = {0x002D, 0x002D} },
  prepend  = true,
  },
  })
  fonts.handlers.otf.features.register {
  name= "dunno",
  description = "bug demo",
  }
\stopluacode

\definefontfeature [myfeat] [default] [dunno=yes,liga=yes,mode=node]

\definefont [somefont] [file:cmunrm.otf*myfeat]
\starttext
  \somefont foo bar " baz
\stoptext

This crashes in font-otn on account of a number being indexed.
This used to work -- anything that can be done about it?

Best,
Philipp
