[XeTeX] Xparse is broken!

2011-11-23 Thread Ari Meir Brodsky 
I've updated to the most recent versions of packages from MikTeX, and xparse
seems to be broken, causing all the great features of XeLaTeX not to work.

In particular, line 59 of xparse.sty is looking for a newer version of expl3
(dated 2011/11/19 or later), but the newest expl3 is dated 2011/10/09.  Is
anyone else having this problem?

The LaTeX3 bundle on CTAN was updated at the weekend, but this is always
done as a unit. So the CTAN versions all match. I've CCd the MiKTeX
list, as this is something that needs attention from Christian Schenk.
For the moment, you could download l3kernel directly from CTAN and do a
local installation.

Sorry, but the packages do not match (at least not yesterday):

$ cd install/macros/latex/contrib/
$ ls -l l3*
-rw-r--r-- 1 mik None 3065193 Nov 19 17:09 l3experimental.tds.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 mik None 5113648 Oct  9 23:32 l3kernel.tds.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 mik None 1997638 Nov 19 17:08 l3packages.tds.zip

I always use the TDS zip files (if available). So please make sure that 
these files are up-to-date (or remove them).

  He already did.  I'll correct the spelling shortly.  I have had little
time to look into the more serious bugs lately; sorry about that.

The problem has been tracked down to the CTAN installation of the files.
The correct .tds.zip is now present on the CTAN node, and should
propagate around the world.

[XeTeX] Suggestion for xelatex.ini (enlarging math families from 16 to 256)

2011-11-23 Thread Vafa Khalighi 
Hi

Since XeTeX allows you to have 256 math families instead 16, I was
wondering if this could be done in xelatex.ini. The required changes are:

\def\new@mathgroup{\alloc@8\mathgroup\chardef\@cclvi}
\let\newfam\new@mathgroup
\def\select@group#1#2#3#4{%
 \ifx\math@bgroup\bgroup\else\relax\expandafter\@firstofone\fi
 {%
 \ifmmode
  \ifnum\csname c@mv@\math@version\endcsname<\@cclvi
 \begingroup
   \escapechar\m@ne
   \getanddefine@fonts{\csname c@mv@\math@version\endcsname}#3%
   \globaldefs\@ne  \math@fonts
 \endgroup
 \init@restore@version
 \xdef#1{\noexpand\use@mathgroup\noexpand#2%
 {\number\csname c@mv@\math@version\endcsname}}%
 \global\advance\csname c@mv@\math@version\endcsname\@ne
   \else
 \let#1\relax
 \@latex@error{Too many math alphabets used in
   version \math@version}%
\@eha
   \fi
 \else \expandafter\non@alpherr\fi
 #1{#4}%
 }%
}

[XeTeX] VIQR pre-processor wrotten in (Xe)TeX ?

2011-11-23 Thread Philip TAYLOR 

Does anyone have (or know of) a VIQR ("Vietnamese Quoted-Readable")
pre-processor, written in (Xe)TeX, that would allow me to input
documents of the form :

1.  Ba’nh pho^`ng to^m | Prawn Crackers (£1.00)
2.  Rong bie^?n | Crispy seaweed (£2.50)

and to have these VIQR forms internally converted to Unicode
such that I get (in the typeset output) :

1.  Bánh phồng pôm | Prawn Crackers (£1.00)
2.  Rong biển | Crispy seaweed (£2.50)

I can perform the conversion externally, of course, but would
far prefer to perform it within XeTeX.

** Phil.

You need to create mapping for that.

Well, "maybe".  If that is the case, then let me re-formulate
my question (since I haven't the slightest idea how to create
a mapping) : has anyone created a VIQR mapping for XeTeX ?

Thank you, Vafa : that looks achievable, so if after a decent
wait it would appear that one does not exist, I shall have a
go at creating one.

there are some mapping examples that you can see.

I have already downloaded and installed the latest l3kernel.tds.zip from

You will need to make sure that ambiguous VIQR input is escaped as
appropriate, and the mapping file supports these escape sequences.
