2019-06-01: Release 12.1.02
* Adds a Japanese version of Unifont, unifont_jp, containing
kanji glyphs from the public domain Jiskan16 font.
* Contains redrawn Devanagari and Bengali glyphs with
narrower consonants for better superimposing of vowels.
* Updated unibmp2hex.c to convert RGB color space files to
monochrome.
librsvg with pango and harfbuzz with graphite2 is required for libreoffice.
librsvg-c has the problem on NetBSD and libreoffice uses internal static
harfbuzz library. Rust-based librsvg has no problem and libreoffice use
dynamic harfbuzz from fonts/harfbuzz.
Bump PKGREVISIONs.
2019-05-11: Release 12.1.01
* This release adds the new Reiwa Japanese era sign, added in
Unicode 12.1.0.
* Elizabeth Bettencourt contributed many Under ConScript Unicode
Registry (UCSUR) scripts for the Plane 0 Private Use Area.
* Some adjustments were made to Nandinagari and Nyiakeng Puachue
Hmong scripts. Full details are in the ChangeLog file.
* Minor changes to source code, mainly to suppress warnings
on more systems.
- use only standard NFSS codes for width and weight in fd files
- create $TEXMFHOME when it doesn't exist (but only if $TEXMFLOCAL
isn't user-writable, since that's still the default output tree)
- in manual mode, put all generated files into a subdir "autoinst_output/",
instead of all over the current dir
- add 'auto' value to the -inferiors option; autoinst will use
whatever inferior characters the font contains
- more relevant logfiles
- better mapping of NFSS codes to actual fonts
- new command-line options to fine-tune that mapping even further
- handle fonts who put small caps into separate families
- improved handling of Titling fonts
- don't add f-ligatures to typewriter fonts
Changes in ot2kpx:
- kerning data can now also be output as a Luatex custom font feature, for
use with \directlua.
Supports standard NFSS series codes. New macros for localized use of
non-default weights and figure styles.
Support for LGR encoding.
Condensed fonts now accessible using standard c series codes.
20190410:
Kpathsea: More consistent brace expansion and path splitting; new variable TEXMFDOTDIR instead of hard-coded . in paths allows for easily searching additional or sub-directories (see comments in texmf.cnf).
epTEX, eupTEX: New primitives \readpapersizespecial and \expanded.
LuaTEX: Lua 5.3 now used, with concomitant arithmetic and interface changes. The homegrown library pplib is used to read pdf files, thus eliminating the dependency on poppler (and the need for C++); Lua interface changed accordingly.
MetaPost: r-mpost command name recognized as an alias for invocation with the –restricted option, and added to the list of restricted commands available by default. Minimum precision now 2 for decimal and binary mode. Binary mode no longer available in MPlib but still available in standalone MetaPost.
pdfTEX: New primitive \expanded; if new primitive parameter \pdfomitcharset is set to 1, the /CharSet string omitted from the PDF output, since it cannot feasibly be guaranteed correct, as required by PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3.
XeTEX: New primitives \expanded, \creationdate, \elapsedtime, \filedump, \filemoddate, \filesize, \resettimer, \normaldeviate, \uniformdeviate, \randomseed; extend \Ucharcat to produce active characters.
tlmgr: Support curl as a download program; use lz4 and gzip before xz for local backups, if available; prefer system-provided binaries over binaries provided with TEX Live for compressor and download programs, unless the environment variable TEXLIVE_PREFER_OWN is set.
install-tl: New option -gui (with no argument) is the default on Windows and Macs, and invokes a new Tcl/TK GUI (see sections 1.3 and 3.1.6).
Utilities:
cwebbin (https://ctan.org/pkg/cwebbin) is now the CWEB implementation in TEX Live, with support for more language dialects, and including the ctwill program to make mini-indexes.
chkdvifont: report font information from DVI files, also from tfm/ofm, vf, gf, pk.
dvispc: make a DVI file page-independent with respect to specials.
MacTEX: x86_64-darwin now supports 10.12 and higher (Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave); x86_64-darwinlegacy still supports 10.6 and newer. The spell checker Excalibur is no longer included, since it requires 32-bit support.
Platforms: removed sparc-solaris.
2.95
In contradiction to the last announcement this version of the fontloader
is still compatible with luatex 1.07. So updates will continue. This
version syncs the files with the ConTeXt files from 2019-01-28. It
improves the handling of the lucida fonts - the demi font is now used as
bold. The resolver code has been cleaned up a bit.
2.96
- In version 2.95 letterspacing was broken due to a change in the
fontloader. In version 2.96 this is now repaired. At the same time a
number of long-standing oddities and bugs in the letterspacing has been
corrected. This can change the output of existing documents!! See the
documentation for more information and ways to restore the old behaviour,
- A problem with the detection of bold fonts has been corrected (issue 41,
pull request 42).
- The fontloader has been synced with the context files from 2019-02-14.
* Fix regression in loading `Language=Turkish`. This now allows users
to define more than one OpenType tag when defining a language name,
where the first tag found is the one selected for the font. E.g.,
\newfontlanguage{Turkish}{TRK,TUR}
when selected, this first checks for the existance of the TRK
language tag, and if not found then checks for the TUR language tag
to use if available.
* Add new `Renderer` options for LuaTeX that enable the Harfbuzz
engine. These only work running under `luahbtex` and are currently
experimental. The new options are `Harfbuzz`, `OpenType`, `AAT`, and
`Graphite`.
* Always try to remove ‘clashing’ font features inside
`\addfontfeatures` even in cases when the requested font feature
doesn't exist. E.g., now if a font is loaded with `Numbers=OldStyle`
and *doesn't have* `Numbers=Lining`, requesting the latter will still
re!set the former.
* Add `pxfonts`, `txfonts`, `newpxmath`, `newtxmath`, `mtpro2` to the
list of packages that automatically invoke `no-math`.
* Add `\providefontfamily`, `\setfontface`, `\renewfontface`, and
`\providefontface`.
* Add local/global distinction with `\fontspec_(g)set_family:Nnn` and
`\fontspec_(g)set_fontface:NNnn`.
* Use fonts.mk framework
