Hi Taylor

OK, you're right, it's a combo: fake fontspec errors in XeLaTeX and the 
breakdown of go-to functions in TeXWorks, are they related? I don't 
know. I cannot discern which one is to be blamed, for I typeset stuff in 
XeTeX through TeXWorks, I don't know how to use raw XeTeX nor do I use 
other LaTeX flavors in TeXWorks. What's for sure, that's that TeXWorks 
is not the chief culprit here, the developers told me so: 
http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=550#makechanges Yet, 
no one has apparently been able to reproduce my error.

 Hi

 My problem is kind of complicated:

 1. After processing a XeLaTeX source file the yellow lines the
 cross-reference between pdf and source file and vice versa is completely
 broken.
 2. This happens after I updated to Ubuntu 11.10, TexLive 2011 and texWorks
 0.5, previously I was using Ubuntu 11.04, TexLive 2010 and texWorks
 something before 0.5.
 3. I don't know if this has something to do with that, but I also get fake
 fontspec errors, I mean I don't see any problem in the output, even though,
 according to the output panel, there should be some.

 At first I thought this had something to do with TeXWorks:

 they told me the SyncTeX code is to be blamed for that.

 Hello

 So, am I the only one down here to have experienced problems with TeXLive
 and XeLaTeX after having updated to TexLive 2011?

No, probably you are not. There are known problems that have been
fixed in branch 2011:
http://tug.org/svn/texlive/branches/branch2011/

http://tug.org/svn/texlive/branches/branch2011/Build/source/README.branch2011?revision=24461view=markup

But Ubuntu probably just took the released version and not the branch
with fixes. Also, unless I'm mistaken, I'm not aware of official TL
distribution shipping patched binaries either and I don't exactly
understand why since the mechanism to ship new binaries is in place.

I do not think there has been major changes in XeTeX from TeXLive 2010 to
2011. As I understand, your problem has to do with texworks and not with
xetex so I do not see how downgrading your TeX distribution can help here.
I am also using Ubuntu 11.10 and have not experienced any problem with
XeTeX binary. For instance, can you test if you have problem with pdflatex
in TeXWorks too? if you do not, then obviously TeXWorks is faulty and not
your XeTeX binary. About your problem with fontspec, it may be a fontspec
bug but if you send a minimal working example, we can look at it.

Thanks for this. I used LiberationSerif font which is by default shipped
with Ubuntu.

These are the warnings, I get:


LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `EU1/LiberationSerif(0)/m/sl' undefined
(Font)  using `EU1/LiberationSerif(0)/m/n' instead on input
line 43
.

LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults
substituted.

Which I believe is perfectly normal and you ought to get the same warnings
with TeXLive 2010. This happens because Italic or oblique  version of
LiberationSerif does not exist and so fontspec uses the regular shape of
the font for slanted shape (produced by \textsl, etc).


 Please provide me with an example for pdflatex, I don't know how to use it
 :)


What I meant was that you produce a similar example with pdflatex (no
polyglossia, no fontspec, no xelatex specific packages) and see if the same
issue happens.

Please download this version of fontspec (from 2010) and put it in your
current directory, does the problem still exists?

Right. There is an italic version there. I am not sure what kind of font,
fontspec expects to load when using slanted shape. I thought it would use
Italic if slanted shape does not exist.

How about:

\setmainfont[SlantedFont={Liberation Serif Italic}]{Liberation Serif}

Hi guys,
Why should fontspec try to load a crappy slanted shape in the first 
place? I just don't understand why! Slanted shapes are a last-resort 
stuff, not first-choice. So why loading a slanted shape when the italic 
is available?
I will take a look at your output files, but the real issues is not 
fontspec errors, it's the broken go-to functions in TeXWorks, none of

We also don't know if those fontspec errors are related with go-to

I can't help with the original problem, but I would like to comment on a
question that came up as an aside:

Quoting Alessandro Ceschini (alessandroceschini...@gmail.com):
 Why should fontspec try to load a crappy slanted shape in the first 
 place? I just don't understand why! Slanted shapes are a last-resort 
 stuff, not first-choice. So why loading a slanted shape when the italic 
 is available?

I think that's a point of personal preference. With the fonts I use I often
prefer slanted over italic, because the slanted is different enough from
upright to stick in the eye, but closer to the main font than italic, thus
not as much a disturbance.
I'm no typesetting expert though...

Slanted =/= crappy. You have have optically adjusted obliques for sans
serif typefaces. You can even have slanted serif fonts. Computer
Modern had a set of them. It ultimately comes down to using them
properly.

But to actually answer your question, fontspec tries to load it
because the command exists. It's designed to provide a working font
setup, which means populating all the font commands.

Hi everybody

Chadra, I took a look at your log file and you get this:

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `EU1/LiberationSerif(0)/m/sl' undefined
(Font)  using `EU1/LiberationSerif(0)/m/n' instead on input line 44

But no fontspec error related to Greek, actually the output is positive:

.
. fontspec info: defining-font
.
. Font family 'LiberationSerif(1)' created for font 'LiberationSerif' with
. options [Mapping=tex-text,Script=Greek].
.
. This font family consists of the following shapes:
.
. * 'normal' with NFSS spec.:
.-LiberationSerif/ICU:script=grek;language=DFLT;mapping=tex-text;
.
. * 'bold' with NFSS spec.:
.-LiberationSerif/B/ICU:script=grek;language=DFLT;mapping=tex-text;
.
. * 'italic' with NFSS spec.:
.-LiberationSerif/I/ICU:script=grek;language=DFLT;mapping=tex-text;
.
. * 'bold italic' with NFSS spec.:
.-LiberationSerif/BI/ICU:script=grek;language=DFLT;mapping=tex-text;
.

It's pretty much possible I incurred in the LaTeX Font Warning back in 
TL 2010's days, that's a minor issue but for certain, no fontspec error.


Zdenek, on the other hand, you do get the fontspec warning on both 2010 
 2011 (I didn't consider 2009 as it's not relevant in my case):


*
* fontspec warning: script-not-exist
*
* Font 'LiberationSerif' does not contain script 'Greek'.
*

And, what's more, you do have a mess in both (2010  2011) pdf's instead 
of the expected Greek letters, while I can see them correctly.


Again, the question is: is all this correlated to the breakdown of go-to 
function in TeXWorks?

The existence of (some) Greek letters does not preclude the font's support for 
that script/language – or I would be able to speak and read Greek because I 
know the letters. The fontspec manual has a bit of explanation (and the XeTeX 
distribution has test sheets, AAT-info.tex, OpenType-info.tex, which check a 
font's features support), more can be found on the OTF documentation site at MS.

Ubuntu and other package managers must decide when it is appropriate

know about a large number of their users, or maybe a small number 
of very important users.

As for myself, I would never advise anyone to update onto the cutting
edge, unless I was confident that they knew how to handle it.
This does *not* mean that I am advocating against updating, nor to

 Previously I was using just that version, without any apparent problem, all

 which seems to be advocating that since patched binaries are available

No. Only patched sources are available, patched binaries are not.

 That is most certainly not the case. By all means get them if you want to,
 realising that you could be on the cutting edge, and it is entirely your
 own responsibility

Updating binaries would not mean living on cutting edge, but rather
getting bug fixes.

I'm sorry.

I was already wondering how one could have TL 2011 on Ubuntu (I have
never heard of Ubuntu switching to TL 2011), but as I already said:
even if one is using original TeX Live 2011, the synctex bugs leading
to non-working synchronisation in TeXworks are still present. (I don't
understand why binaries are not rebuilt.)

 Ross,
 
 do you mean Mojca with him? (I'm confident she is still a woman. In which

Ooops. My mistake, definitely. Sorry.

 But I also wonder why Mail chose this signature…)

Hi

My problem is kind of complicated:

1. After processing a XeLaTeX source file the yellow lines the 
cross-reference between pdf and source file and vice versa is 
completely broken.
2. This happens after I updated to Ubuntu 11.10, TexLive 2011 and 
texWorks 0.5, previously I was using Ubuntu 11.04, TexLive 2010 and 
texWorks something before 0.5.
3. I don't know if this has something to do with that, but I also get 
fake fontspec errors, I mean I don't see any problem in the output, 
even though, according to the output panel, there should be some.


At first I thought this had something to do with TeXWorks: 
http://code.google.com/p/texworks/issues/detail?id=550#makechanges but 
then they told me the SyncTeX code is to be blamed for that.

Hello

So, am I the only one down here to have experienced problems with 
TeXLive and XeLaTeX after having updated to TexLive 2011?

I don't use Ubuntu, but if you have both TL2010 and 2011, I'd check
the directories that are in fontconfig (or run fc-cache -v and see
which directories it's looking in). It may be that fontspec is
complaining because it finds duplicate sets of fonts between the two
installations. Your PDFs would be OK because the font files are
otherwise identical, but you'll likely notice problems if you had
different versions of the same font.

As for the other problem with SyncTeX... I can only imagine it's
somehow related. Possibly a PATH error?

HTH,
Andy

2011-11-06 Thread Alessandro Ceschini

To Andy:

Hi

No, I only have TL2011 and nothing of the bundled version (2009) is 
installed, and no, there's no duplicate of the font, actually this 
happens with every font, it's a bit weird for every font to be 
duplicated. The directories are the standard ones: \usr\share\fonts and 
~\.fonts\


As far as PATH is concerned, I can run tlmgr update --all from my home 
path, I think that means PATH works fine. Right?


But the real problem is in TeXWorks, the go to pdf and go to source 
files functions are completely broken, that's the real issue.

2011-11-06 Thread Andy Lin
Hmm, according to that ticket on the texwork site, someone else has
the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be something unique to your
set up. I'm surprised that it's SyncTeX that's the culprit, since the
project page hasn't been updated since 2008, unless it's moved.

Unfortunately, I can't help you further with this, as I don't have an
Ubuntu box to test on. Hopefully someone else will come up with a
solution.
