The problem raises only once per typescript change, so unless one is
planning to switch typeface regularly, typesetting 400 pages would
take 95 seconds+normal processing time for 400 pages. I don't say that
is OK, but I don't experience that problem at the moment (though I
completely believe you, I only don't know where exactly it stops), so
I don't know how exactly to help.
Take a look into font-ini, uncomment the following lines and remake the formats:
\ifx\xetextempfont\nullfontname
\writestatus\m!fonts{fails #1: #2 (\xetextempfont)}%
\expandafter\secondoftwoarguments
\else
\writestatus\m!fonts{succeeds #1: #2 (\xetextempfont)}%
\expandafter\firstoftwoarguments
(Perhaps uncommenting these lines shold be done in the distro for some
period to make debugging easier.)

Re: [NTG-context] Gentium Basic/Book (getting weird)
No, it's not about the syntax, but rather about the list of accepted names for input encodings. Yes, I know, I only mentioned it in passing. Now for completeness' sake, the complete list of encodings accepted by XeTeX's \XeTeXinputencoding seems to be: - A couple of special encodings handled by XeTeX internally (from xetexdir/XeTeX_ext.c in the source tree): auto utf8 utf16 - This one's meaning depends on the host platform's endianness utf16be utf16le bytes - A rather lengthly list of encodings handled by ICU, to be found at http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/convexp with their complete conversion tables to Unicode (quite interesting and useful!).

Re: [NTG-context] Gentium Basic/Book (getting weird)
Hello Steffen, Yes, it seems we have forgotten your original problem in the discussion ;-) I'm not sure I can really help, though, but: can you tell me then what is wrong in my minimal example here (it work like a charm in April!)? Nothing is wrong with your input file, really, it's an (admittedly annoying) side-effect of changes that have been made recently in XeTeX-specific font selection options. I have the same problem here and, as frightening as XeTeX's messages may look, the output looks right. One thing: if you wish to typeset Arabic, you really have to say \font\Arab=Baghdad:script=arab, and not only \font\Arab=Baghdad, otherwise character shaping is not correctly done and the output is just messy. This behaviour needs to be fixed in ConTeXt but it's been around for a while now so it's really not that easy (fixing some things will break others, etc.). It's quite unfortunate that you had to experience all XeTeX+ConTeXt font problems at the same time, though, but judging from the other recent mails to the list I have the impression that you're not the only one today with weird problems and that everything seems to have gone astray ;-) I don't know, maybe it's just Weird Encoding Day; just this morning I was experimenting with yet another variation on ispell called hunspell, and I had the following extremely interesting crash which I would like to call the Locale-of-Death: [Current locale is fr_FR.UTF-8] $ hunspell -d morph Hunspell 1.2.1 [blah blah blah spell-checking ...] ^C $ unset LC_ALL $ hunspell -d morph zsh: bus error (core dumped) hunspell -d morph :-) Arthur ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

... Hmmm when thinking agin ... I know that you asked me which

more or less the same, but 8859-1 isn't valid regime name either.
I'll take a look and report back.
The recent archives from the XeTeX list seem to yield
\XeTeXinputencoding{utf8} or \XeTeXinputencoding ISO-8859-1. I assume
that both syntaxes are recognized by XeTeX (with curly braces or double quotes).

When this is set with pdftext all is fine.
With xetex (or xtx) the process stop at this line:
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-
gyr.tex))! unknown encoding utf; reading as raw bytes
Sorry, my fault again.
For you: to solve the problem temporary, remove \enableregime, or use
\beginOLDTEX
\enableregime[utf]
\endOLDTEX
or try to fix this line in regi-ini.mkii (and test the behavior):
\def\mkenableregime#1{\doifnot{#1}{utf}{\XeTeXinputencoding #1\relax}}
For Hans: There's a little problem in regi-ini:
\def\mkenableregime#1{\XeTeXinputencoding #1\relax}
\def\enableregime[#1]%
{\edef\currentregime{\trueregimename{#1}}%
\doifelsenothing\currentregime
{\disableregime}
{\douseregime\currentregime
\mkenableregime\currentregime}}
This passes \XeTeXinputencoding utf to XeTeX, even is someone says
\enableregime[utf-8], but XeTeX doesn't know what utf encoding is
(it expects at least utf-8 or nothing).
The following fix helps, but is not the final answer:
\def\mkenableregime#1{\doifnot{#1}{utf}{\XeTeXinputencoding #1\relax}}
This has one weak point though:
\enableregime[cp1250]
\enableregime[utf-8]
will leave the current regime at cp1250, so perhaps
\def\mkenableregime#1{\doifelse{#1}{utf}%
{\XeTeXinputencoding utf-8\relax}{\XeTeXinputencoding #1\relax}}
Another option would be to rename utf to utf-8 internally (or to adapt
\trueregimename or regi-syn), but that would probably do more harm
than good unless tested well, and it's not worth the effort.
... Hmmm when thinking agin ... I know that you asked me which
regime name to pass to XeTeX and I said don't worry, it should be
more or less the same, but 8859-1 isn't valid regime name either.
I'll take a look and report back.

The recent archives from the XeTeX list seem to yield
\XeTeXinputencoding{utf8} or \XeTeXinputencoding ISO-8859-1. I assume
that both syntaxes are recognized by XeTeX (with curly braces or double
quotes).
No, it's not about the syntax, but rather about the list of accepted
names for input encodings.
Apart from those three in regi-syn (only left for backward-compatibility):
\defineregimesynonym [windows] [cp1252]
\defineregimesynonym [grk] [8859-7]
\defineregimesynonym [iso88595] [8859-5]
and maybe some others in regi-cyp/cyr, XeTeX seems to accept a wide
variety of names, so I would suggest the following fix in
regi-ini.mkii:
\beginXETEX
% no idea what these do, but may be left if needed:
\let\mkloadregime \gobbleoneargument
\let\mkenableregime \gobbleoneargument
\let\mkwalkregime \gobbleoneargument
\let\mkautosetregime\gobbletwoarguments
% sets input encoding to whatever the user asks for. utf is mapped to utf-8
\def\enableregime[#1]%
{\doifelse{#1}{utf}%
{\message{Specifying UTF-8 input encoding/regime is not
needed in XeTeX, but if you do it,}%
\message{please use [backslash] enableregime[utf-8]
instead of [utf].}%
\edef\currentregime{utf-8}}{\edef\currentregime{#1}}%
\doifnot{\currentregime}{utf-8}{\message{You are highly
encouraged to switch over to UTF-8 input encoding.}}%
\XeTeXinputencoding{\currentregime}%

Yes, I know, I only mentioned it in passing.
Now for completeness' sake, the complete list of encodings
accepted by
XeTeX's \XeTeXinputencoding seems to be:
- A couple of special encodings handled by XeTeX internally (from
xetexdir/XeTeX_ext.c in the source tree):
auto
utf8
utf16 - This one's meaning depends on the host
platform's endianness
utf16be
utf16le
bytes
- A rather lengthly list of encodings handled by ICU, to be found at
http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/convexp with their complete
conversion tables to Unicode (quite interesting and useful!).
