No ligatures in Palatino?

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Dear list members,

I have been using the palatino font for a while. But I only recently
noticed that, in documents using this font, no ligatures appeared (e.g.
in ff, fi, ...).

However, the various dashes (--, ---) do get linked properly. Aren't
these ligatures?

What do you think of this? I searched the WiKi and the list archive, and
I came across this message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg45849.html

...but it's pretty old, and perhaps no longer relevant.

I hope it's not a FAQ. Once again, thanks for your help.

Not an expert, but they seem to appear when using TeX Gyre Pagella, a
Palatino clone. See attached (docs created in RC2).

Hum... On the attached .PDF, I do see the ligature between the two
ff (which I usually miss) and the dashes (which I have).

However, I don't see any ligature between f and i, either in fi or
ffi.

(I am under 1.6.9 so I was unable to open the attached .LYX file.)

Could something be wrong/missing with my setup (1.6.9 / Ubuntu Lucid /

Hi Richard,

There is a known bug in older versions of XeTeX which can cause 
problems with math symbols in some fonts. The bug report for Ubuntu 
can be found here:


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-bin/+bug/364627

I was able to fix the problem by editing a configuration file:

/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg

Comment out: f pdftex.map
Uncomment: f dvipdfm.map


I haven't had any trouble with newer versions (either that shipped in 
TeX Live 2009, or 2010).


Thanks, Rob, that at least points me in the right direction. 
Unfortunately, that fix doesn't work on F14. But I've filed a bug report 
and will send a message to the user list, too.

Unfortunately it's bitmap, but even so if you zoom to about 1000% you
will clearly notice that the Palladio ligatures have much less
ligature pixels than the Pagella. The latter features a solid black
line in the 'ff' ligature, and an almost 'continuous' line for the
'fi' ligature, while Palladio features a completely discontinuous 'fi'
symbol.

 Liviu,

You can enlarge the bitmaps using Mirage. But if you're playing with
the PDF files, here in Evince even at 400% there's a (hardly, but)
noticeable white pixel in 'fi' for both Palladio and Pagella, and a
clear distance in the Palladio 'ff'. The Pagella 'ff' ligature is
clear-cut.

  OK, this weekend I'll get the Pagella and install it.

Have fun.
Liviu


 Thanks,

 Rich

Hi

After learning som more of gdb I was able to produce a backtrace, sort of. I

But here it is, if I have removed to much, or you need me to install debuginfo

The problem is arising at this line:

docstring text = bformat(_(The document %1$s already 
   exists.\n\nDo you want to

That incredibly long thing you had to snip is what LyX thinks the

Dissertation Finished! Thank you LyXers!

[Greg Kise]

Hi LyXers!

As the production monkey for my wife's dissertation (374 pages, 75  
figures, 10 tables), I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to the LyX  
community, and especially to everyone who helped answer my questions  
over the last month! (We've also placed a thank you in the  
Acknowledgments section.)


The document is absolutely beautiful. It is typeset using the  
ClassicThesis style. I'll post a link to the dissertation after it is  
reviewed by her committee.


I also have a number of tips/tricks I accumulated along the way. If  
interested I'd be happy to combine these and post them here. Maybe  
they might be useful to others.

It always makes sense to post them on the wiki, provided that they're

add a template of the dissertation on the Examples page, perhaps
complemented with tips and tricks that you've accumulated.

No ligatures in Palatino?

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Dear list members,

I have been using the palatino font for a while. But I only recently
noticed that, in documents using this font, no ligatures appeared (e.g.
in ff, fi, ...).

However, the various dashes (--, ---) do get linked properly. Aren't
these ligatures?

What do you think of this? I searched the WiKi and the list archive, and
I came across this message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg45849.html

Unfortunately it's bitmap, but even so if you zoom to about 1000% you
will clearly notice that the Palladio ligatures have much less
ligature pixels than the Pagella. The latter features a solid black
line in the 'ff' ligature, and an almost 'continuous' line for the
'fi' ligature, while Palladio features a completely discontinuous 'fi'
symbol.

 Liviu,

You can enlarge the bitmaps using Mirage. But if you're playing with
the PDF files, here in Evince even at 400% there's a (hardly, but)
noticeable white pixel in 'fi' for both Palladio and Pagella, and a
clear distance in the Palladio 'ff'. The Pagella 'ff' ligature is
clear-cut.

Have fun.

Dissertation Finished! Thank you LyXers!

[Greg Kise]

Hi LyXers!

As the production monkey for my wife's dissertation (374 pages, 75  
figures, 10 tables), I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to the LyX  
community, and especially to everyone who helped answer my questions  
over the last month! (We've also placed a thank you in the  
Acknowledgments section.)


The document is absolutely beautiful. It is typeset using the  
ClassicThesis style. I'll post a link to the dissertation after it is

I also have a number of tips/tricks I accumulated along the way. If

No ligatures in Palatino?

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Dear list members,

I have been using the palatino font for a while. But I only recently
noticed that, in documents using this font, no ligatures appeared (e.g.
in ff, fi, ...).

However, the various dashes (--, ---) do get linked properly. Aren't
these "ligatures"?

What do you think of this? I searched the WiKi and the list archive, and
I came across this message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg45849.html

...but it's pretty old, and perhaps no longer relevant.

I hope it's not a FAQ. Once again, thanks for your help.

Hum... On the attached .PDF, I do see the ligature between the two
"ff" (which I usually miss) and the dashes (which I have).

However, I don't see any ligature between "f" and "i", either in "fi" or
"ffi".

(I am under 1.6.9 so I was unable to open the attached .LYX file.)

Could something be wrong/missing with my setup (1.6.9 / Ubuntu Lucid /

Hi Richard,

There is a known bug in older versions of XeTeX which can cause 
problems with math symbols in some fonts. The bug report for Ubuntu 
can be found here:


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-bin/+bug/364627

I was able to fix the problem by editing a configuration file:

/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg

Comment out: "f pdftex.map"
Uncomment: "f dvipdfm.map
"

I haven't had any trouble with newer versions (either that shipped in 
TeX Live 2009, or 2010).


Thanks, Rob, that at least points me in the right direction. 
Unfortunately, that fix doesn't work on F14. But I've filed a bug report 
and will send a message to the user list, too.

Thanks, that did the trick.

I had to install the tex-gyre package. Then...

... the \usepackage{tgpagella} allowed me to get nicely linked "ff".

Definitely an improvement. Maybe LyX could load _this_ package for
Palatino fonts, if it just supersedes mathpazo?

This probably makes sense, since the hook of the "f" is very short in
Palatino...

Liviu,

  Maybe it's my old eyeballs, but I don't see differences in the ligatures
in the standard Palatino and the enhanced version. As a matter of fact, the
standard ligatures seem more tighly connected (e.g., fi).

Unfortunately it's bitmap, but even so if you zoom to about 1000% you
will clearly notice that the Palladio ligatures have much less
"ligature pixels" than the Pagella. The latter features a solid black
line in the 'ff' ligature, and an almost 'continuous' line for the
