Re: [XeTeX] FakeBold vs TikZ

[Stefan Solbrig]

Hi,

Just compiled the document under TeX Live 2013 (all updates till the freeze) and still no dot. Besides the Apple PDF framework (using TeXShop and Preview) I also viewed in Adobe Reader and no do in any case shows up.

Good Luck,

been fixed in TL14. Bad luck. :-(


the Mac PDF viewer?

Then it’s quite possible that the issue is Linux specific and it has not I’m attaching a PDF generated on TL13 on Ubuntu. Can you see the dot in

best,
Stefan



\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{tikz}

\def\fb{\addfontfeature{FakeBold=1}}

%\setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman}
\setmainfont{Linux Biolinum O}

\begin{document}

\color{red}
\begin{tikzpicture}
 \draw[draw=blue] (-1,-1) rectangle (3,3);
 \draw[draw=black] (0,0) circle (2pt);

 % try commenting out the following line:
 \node at (1,2) {\fb\color{yellow} test1};
 % try commenting out the following line:
 \node at (1,1)  {\color{green}test2};
\end{tikzpicture}
\color{cyan}


\vspace{2cm}
\newsavebox{\testbox}
\sbox{\testbox}{\fb test3}

\begin{tikzpicture}
 \draw (-1,-1) rectangle (3,3);
 \draw (0,0) circle (.2);

 % try commenting out the following line:
 \node at (1,2) {\usebox{\testbox}};
 % try commenting out the following line:
 \node at (1,1)  {test2};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

I can confirm that's it's not a Linux specific issue. I tried this on a Mac. However, my system is quite old (TeXlive 2010) so the issue might be fixed by now. But on my system, I see the spurious dot as well. The spurious dot is in fact a dot character U+002e. You can see this either with pdf2text or watch the dot change its shape when you use a different font. I used colors to get some more info. The funny thing is, that the dot seems to be typeset outside of the TiKZ environment. (See the code & the attached pdf.)
