Thanks for the info Hans. I'll check it out again. About a month or
so ago I went over the fonts used in  math with luatex lmtx  and it
was more of a refreshing course than anything else. TeX Gyre and so
forth. And a  similar approach which I used in handling these fonts
in mkii before.

Recently someone made the suggestion of working or the intent to work or
the suggestion or whatever of tackling mnssymbol on luatex. I don't know about
that but.. I don't know. Perhaps I misunderstood

I've used this family of minion and myriad before, but I still think
it has the same audience than the glyphs used by the chinese at the
beginning of the typesetting history> weddings, funerals, pamphlets,
etiquette cards, calendars, arithmetic tables and so forth. It has more
flare than perhaps a lucida. But the latter, subjectively speaking,
is perhaps more dry but also more straightforward and legible. For me
anyway.

But when I see that a simple page and nothing fancy really, cannot be
processed under lmtx no matter how much tweaking is performed under
the hood something is not quite right

the same (similar) screenshot attached here is under latex. Something
similar is what I wanted to have, but couldn't.

I'll check out your suggestion. Thanks again Hans

AmigaDOS Beer: The company has gone out of business, but their recipe has
been picked up by some weird German company, so now this beer will be an
import.  This beer never really sold very well because the original
manufacturer didn't understand marketing. Like Unix Beer, AmigaDOS Beer
fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. It originally came in a
16-oz. can, but now comes in 32-oz.  cans too.  When this can was
originally introduced, it appeared flashy and colorful, but the design
hasn't changed much over the years, so it appears dated now.  Critics of
this beer claim that it is only meant for watching TV anyway.

I still stand for what I said earlier. That lot and their heirs already

Normally context will fall bakc on latin modern but when you explicitly 
load a font setup and that one doesn't have math fonts it will not be 
set up right and then you get these parameter relates messages. The 
minion math font is supported when you have it installed although we're 
not sure if the tweaks will work okay. I only have an old evaluation 
copy that I can't use outside testing anyway, and I don't have the 
minion fonts that can be used in documents (acrobat fonts are only for 
display) so I never use minion anyway.


Although every math environment is possible (after all there are not 
than manyu math fonts) one always has to match them properly with serif 
and sans fonts (relative scaling etc).


When someone wants support for some commercial font, they have to buy us 
a few copies with no constraints. (Normally in a project we just get 
them anyway.) There are plenty of examples in the type-imp-* files that 
show the way.

With that being said, in that sense (not that I need it though, to be
honest), the luatex lmtx approach is more of an instant gratification,
whereas with latex and the metrics of the file afterwards, any math
environment is certainly possible, while loading myriad and minion et co
without an error

I still stand for what I said earlier. That lot and their heirs already
made their money by shoving down acroread all over. It's no secret

`Lasu' Releases SAG 0.3 -- Freeware Book Takes Paves For New World Order
by staff writers

Helsinki, Finland, August 6, 1995 -- In a surprise movement, Lars
``Lasu'' Wirzenius today released the 0.3 edition of the ``Linux System
Administrators' Guide''.  Already an industry non-classic, the new
version sports such overwhelming features as an overview of a Linux
system, a completely new climbing session in a tree, and a list of
acknowledgements in the introduction.
The SAG, as the book is affectionately called, is one of the
corner stones of the Linux Documentation Project.  ``We at the LDP feel
that we wouldn't be able to produce anything at all, that all our work
would be futile, if it weren't for the SAG,'' says Matt Welsh, director
of LDP, Inc.
The new version is still distributed freely, now even with a
copyright that allows modification.  ``More dough,'' explains the author.
Despite insistent rumors about blatant commercialization, the SAG will
probably remain free.  ``Even more dough,'' promises the author.
The author refuses to comment on Windows NT and Windows 96
versions, claiming not to understand what the question is about.
Industry gossip, however, tells that Bill Gates, co-founder and CEO of
Microsoft, producer of the Windows series of video games, has visited
Helsinki several times this year.  Despite of this, Linus Torvalds,
author of the word processor Linux with which the SAG was written, is
not worried.  ``We'll have world domination real soon now, anyway,'' he
explains, ``for 1.4 at the lastest.''

Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have been set. This is
normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your 
font
set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier.

What parameter is this referring to here? 

If I were to load sans it finishes off without errors on the math side,
but then again, doesn't load sans at all

mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 2 files: latinmodern-math.otf, 
minionpro-regular.otf

And as you can guess,  the above is not I was looking forward to

well, if you install a new module th eold module can interfere; nothing 
else get touched, we're talking modules that users esxplcitly install

Great!


For the moment I disable a few badly packages zips:

metaducks, sudoku, aquamints, simpleslides

as they put files in the root and their own directories and I am not 
adding a zip-root remover and additional checkers.


I regard it good practice to have README, LICENSE and VERSION files in 
the root. A public git repository without these is incomplete, and if we 
use the zip/tgz packaging of platforms like github or gitea (codeberg), 
we can’t exclude them.

The installer script could just ignore/delete them.
I currently wipe them but it's extra work and who knows what shows up in 
the future.
