OpenSceneGraph-2.6.0 to enter rawhide
by Ralf Corsepius 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi, I am preparing to upgrade OpenSceneGraph in rawhide to 2.6.0. As always with OSG upgrades, this upgrade will be incompatible to previous versions of OpenSceneGraph (e.g. different SONAMEs) and thus will cause a couple of package breakages. I'll try to take care about these breakages (Most these should be resolvable by rebuilding affected packages). Ralf

cdparanoia has switched back to GPLv2 and LGPLv2. The libraries are LGPLv2. If this is a problem for your app or library, then, well, glibc is your first problem, and now you have two. - ajax

Re: Asana-Math: close but no cigar

No, there actualy is some (unofficial?) MS documentation for MATH tables. It has been seen by both George Williams (fontforge) and Apostolos Syropoulos (asana).

As for the "developed specifically for Cambria" that's a myth. If you want to make statements like that, it's more appropriate to say that TeX was designed for CM. There are 22 dimensions for a TeX math font. There are over 50 dimensions ("constants") for an OpenType MATH table, and some of them are lists! The MS folks in charge of this have stated on their blogs & typophile that they wanted to move most of the TeX built-in constants into the font. They were not kidding. MATH table flexibility does not stop there, you can have as many size variants as you like say for parentheses or radicals; these are specified as lists; unlike TeX there are no built-in rules for choosing the next "bigger" glyph from the font. Asana makes good use of this, there are up to 5-6 variants for things like widehats, tildes etc. When it runs out of the pre-designed stuff, it applies a construction rule that's also defined via lists, although this isn't anymore flexible than TeX AFAICT. You are limited to horizontal and vertical constructions. There's also a sub-table specifying alignment axis for math accents. This differs from how mark or mkmk work. The positioning info is shared between the accent and the letter. I don't think TeX has this at all. There's also some adjustment field, but fontforge crashes if you click on it :( On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 12:29 PM, Dave Crossland <dave(a)lab6.com> wrote: > 2008/8/13 Vasile Gaburici <vgaburici(a)gmail.com>: >> >> The math script, aka MATH table, is a >> MS extension to OpenType.

Hi folks, After a rather long delay, I have managed to update the PackageStatus page again. In the meantime, we had a new FAS, wiki, and bugzilla...

Asana-Math: close but no cigar
by Vasile Gaburici 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

It's nice to see that the first (& only?) FOSS OpenType math font, (and by that I mean one that has a math script, like Cambria Math), has been added to rawhide. But the font is currently useless in Fedora, because (i) our XeTeX is too old, and (ii) the unicode-math XeLaTeX package is not installed. Unlike most other TeX projects, XeTeX has it's own SNV repository. I've been using the svn version of XeTeX for a while now, mainly because I've reported some bugs upstream (and I mean to the real upstream, not TeXLive). The repository includes all the required texmf bits that XeTeX needs, but unicode-math is considered experimental so it's not installed even by the svn installation script, thus it's missing even in TeXLive 2008. But it works well enough for me and others on that have tried it, including typesetting the whole AMS test document. Given that we package xetex separately in texlive-xetex, and since it doesn't seem likely that we'll ship TeXLive 2008 anytime soon, I'd like to prose that we switch xetex to its own upstream sources instead of getting the obsolete version from TeXLive 2007. This will fix (i) without having to wait for TeXLive 2008 to get packaged. Since we'd be using the svn sources, we can easily add unicode-math - it just needs some files copied to texmf, so we'd fix (ii) as well.
