\lualatex.\footnote{Though focusing on \lualatex, it includes relevant - information about \luatex with the Plain format, too.} The intended - audience ranges from complete newcomers (with a working knowledge of - conventional \latex) to package developers. This guide is intended to be - comprehensive in the following sense: it contains pointers to all relevant - sources, gathers information that is otherwise scattered, and adds - introductory material. - - Feedback and suggestions for improvement are most welcome. -\end{abstract} - -\vspace{\stretch{1}} -\setcounter{tocdepth}{2} -\listoftoc*{toc} -\vspace*{\stretch{2}} -\clearpage - - -\section{Introduction}\label{intro} - -\subsection{Just what is \lualatex?}\label{what} - -To answer this question, we need to mention a few details about the \tex world -that you may usually ignore: the difference between an \emph{engine} and a -\emph{format}. An engine is an actual computer program, while a format is a -set of macros executed by an engine, usually preloaded when the engine is -invoked with a particular name. - -Actually, a format is more or less like a document class or a package, except -it is associated with a particular command name. Imagine there is a command -\cmd{latex-article} that would do the same as \cmd{latex}, except you wouldn't -need to say ©\documentclass{article}© at the beginning of your file. -Similarly, in current distributions, the command \cmd{pdflatex} is the same as -the command \cmd{pdftex} except that you don't need to put the instructions to -load \latex at the beginning of your source file. This is convenient, and -slightly more efficient too. - -Formats are great because they implement powerful commands using the basic -tools an engine provides. However the power of the format is sometimes -limited by the engine's tools set, so people started developing more -powerful engines so that other people can implement even more powerful formats -(or packages). The most famous engines now (except the original \tex) are -\pdftex, \xetex and \luatex. - -To further complicate the picture, the original \tex engine produced only DVI -files, while its successors may (also) produce PDF file. Each command in your -system corresponds to a particular engine with a particular format and a -particular output mode. The following table summarizes this: rows are indexed -by format, columns by engine, and in each cell the first line is the command -for this engine with this format in DVI mode, and the second for the same PDF -mode. - -\begin{center} - \newcommand*\cell [2] {% - \parbox{6em}{\centering\leavevmode\color{code}\ttfamily - \strut\maybe{#1} \\ \strut\maybe{#2}}} - \makeatletter - \newcommand*\maybe [1] {% - \@ifmtarg{#1} {\textcolor{gray}{\normalfont (none)}} {#1}} - \begin{tabular}{l|cccc} - & \tex & \pdftex & \xetex & \luatex - \\ \hline - Plain - & \cell{tex}{} - & \cell{etex}{pdftex} - & \cell{}{xetex} - & \cell{dviluatex}{luatex} - \\ \hline - \latex - & \cell{}{} - & \cell{latex}{pdflatex} - & \cell{}{xelatex} - & \cell{dvilualatex}{lualatex} - \\ - \end{tabular} -\end{center} - -We can now answer the title question: \lualatex is the \luatex engine with the -\latex format. Well, this answer isn't very satisfying if you don't know what -\luatex and \latex are. - -\medskip - -As you probably know, \latex is the general framework -in which documents begin with ©\documentclass©, packages are loaded with -©\usepackage©, fonts are selected in a clever way (so that you can switch to -boldface while preserving italics), pages are build with complicated algorithm -including support for headers, footers, footnotes, margin notes, floating -material, etc. This mostly doesn't change with \lualatex, but new and more -powerful packages are available to make parts of the system work in a better -way. - -Let's look at \luatex now. It is the designated successor of \pdftex and -includes of all its core features: direct generation of PDF files with support -for advanced PDF features and micro-typographic enhancements to \tex -typographic algorithms. The main new features of \luatex are: -\begin{enumerate} - \item Native support of Unicode, the modern standard for character - classification and encoding, supporting all characters in the world, from - English to traditional Chinese through Arabic, including a lot a - mathematical (or otherwise specialised) symbols. - \item Inclusion of Lua as an embedded scripting language (see - section~\ref{luaintex} for details). - \item A lot of wonderful Lua libraries, including: - \begin{itemize} - \item ©fontloader©, supporting modern font formats such as - TrueType and OpenType; - \item ©font©, allowing advanced manipulation of the fonts - from within the document; - \item ©mplib©, an embedded version of the graphic program MetaPost; - \item ©callback©, providing hooks into parts of the \tex engine that - were previously inaccessible to the programmer; - \item utility libraries for manipulating images, pdf files, etc. - \end{itemize} -\end{enumerate} -Some of these features, such as Unicode support, directly impact all -documents, while others merely provide tools that package authors will use to -provide you with more powerful commands and other enhancements. - -\subsection{Switching from \latex to \lualatex}\label{switch} - -As the previous section explains, \lualatex is mostly like \latex, with a few -differences, and more powerful packages and tools available. Here we present -absolute minimum you should know to produce a document with \lualatex, while -the rest of the document provides more details about the available packages. - -There are only three differences: -\begin{enumerate} - \item Don't load \pf{inputenc}, just encode your source in UTF-8. - \item Don't load \pf{fontenc}, but load \pf{fontspec}. - \item Don't use any package that changes the fonts, but use \pf{fontspec}'s - commands instead. -\end{enumerate} -So, you only need to get familiar with \pf{fontspec}, which is -easy: select the main (serif) font with ©\setmainfont©, the sans serif font -with ©\setsansfont© and the mono-spaced (typewriter) font with ©\setmonofont©. -The argument to these commands is the human-friendly name of the font, for -example ©Latin modern Roman© rather than ©ec-lmr10©. You probably want to use -©\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}© before these commands to keep the usual -\tex substitutions (such as ©---© for an em-dash) working. - -The good news is: you can directly access any font on your operating system -(in addition to those of your \tex distribution) including TrueType and -OpenType fonts and have access to their most advanced features. It means it -is now easy to install for use with \lualatex any modern font you may download -or purchase from an editor and benefit from their full potential. - -Now for the bad news: it is not always easy to get a list of all available -fonts. Under Windows with \texlive, the command-line tool \cmd{fc-list} lists -them all, but is not very friendly. Under Mac OS X, the \emph{Fontbook} -application lists the fonts of your system, but not those of your -distribution. Same with \cmd{fc-list} on Linux. More bad news: it is not easy -to access your old fonts that way. Happily, more fonts are available in modern -formats every day (well, month or year, actually, if you count only good -fonts). - -\emph{En passant}, let's mention that the content of this section so far also -holds for \xelatex, that is, \latex over \xetex. Indeed, \xetex shares two of -the essential features of \luatex: native Unicode and support for modern font -formats (but doesn't have the other features of \luatex; on the other hand, it -is more stable right now). Though their implementations concerning fonts are -vastly different, \pf{fontspec} manages to offer a mostly unified font -interface for both \xelatex and \lualatex. - -\medskip - -So, to benefit from the new features of \luatex, you must drop a few parts of -the old world, namely the fonts that are not available in a modern format (and -also the liberty to encode your source how you want, but UTF-8 is so much -superior that this one hardly counts). The package \pk{luainputenc} provides -various trade-offs that allow you to regain these parts\footnote{While the - name suggests it is only about input encodings, the details of \latex's font - encoding implementation imply this package is needed (and works) for old - fonts too.} possibly at the expense of loosing real Unicode support. - -That's all you need to know to start producing documents with \lualatex. I -recommend you have a look at the \pf{fontspec} manual and actually try to -compile a small document using funny fonts. You can then skim over the rest of -this document as you wish. Section~\ref{workornot} lists all the other -differences between conventional \latex and \lualatex that I'm aware of. - -\subsection{A Lua-in-\tex primer}\label{luaintex} - -Lua is a nice, small language, obviously less surprising and much easier to -learn than \tex as a programming language. The essential reference is the very -readable book \emph{Programming in Lua}, whose first edition is freely -\href{http://www.lua.org/pil/} {available online}. For a quick start, I -recommend you read chapters~1 to~5 and have a quick glance at part~3. Note -that all the libraries mentioned in chapter~3 are included in \luatex, but the -©os© library is restricted for security reasons. - -Depending on your programming culture, you may be directly interested in the -rest of part~1 and part~2 which present more advanced features of the -language, but part~4 is useless in a \luatex context, unless of course you -want to hack \luatex itself. Finally, the \emph{Lua reference manual} is -\href{http://www.lua.org/manual/}{available online in various languages} and -comes with a handy index. - -\medskip - -Now, let's turn to Lua in \luatex. The main way to execute Lua code from the -\tex end is the ©\directlua© command, which takes arbitrary Lua code as an -argument. Conversely, you can pass information from Lua to \tex with -©tex.sprint©.\footnote{The name probably means ``string print'' as opposed to - ``run very fast for a short period of time.''} For example, -\begin{Verbatim} - the standard approximation $\pi = \direclua{tex.sprint(math.pi)}$ -\end{Verbatim} -prints ``the standard approximation $\pi = \directlua{tex.sprint(math.pi)}$'' -in your document. See how easy it is to mix \tex and Lua? - -Actually, there are a few gotchas. Let's look at the Lua to \tex way first, -it's the simplest (since it's more Lua than \tex). If you look at the \luatex -manual, you'll see there is another function with a simpler name, ©tex.print©, -to pass information this way. It works by virtually inserting a full line into -you \tex source, whose contents are its argument. In case you didn't know, -\tex does all kinds of nasty\footnote{Okay, these are usually nice and helpful - actions, but it this case they are most probably unexpected so I call them - nasty.} things with full lines of the source, like -ignoring spaces at the beginning and end of line and appending an end-of-line -character. Most of the time, you don't want this to happen, so I recommend -using ©tex.sprint© which virtually inserts its argument in the current line, -so is much more predictable. - -If you're enough of a \tex{}nician to know about catcodes, you'll be happy to -know that ©tex.print© and its variants give you nearly full control over the -catcodes used for tokenizing the argument, since you can specify a catcode -table as the first argument. You'll probably want to learn about catcode -tables (currently~2.7.6 in the \luatex manual) before you're fully happy. If -you don't know about catcodes, just skip this paragraph.\footnote{Erf, too - late, you already read it.} - -\medskip - -Let's look at ©\direclua© now. To get an idea about how it works, imagine that -it's a ©\write© command, but it writes only to a virtual file and immediately -arranges for this file to be fed to the Lua interpreter. On the Lua end, the -consequence is that each argument of a ©\directlua© command has its own scope: -local variables from one will not be visible to the other. (Which is rather -sane, but always good to know.) - -Now, the major gotcha is that before being fed to the Lua interpreter, the -argument is first read and tokenised by \tex, then fully expanded and turned -back into a plain string. Being read by \tex has several consequences. One of -them is that end of lines are turned into spaces, so the Lua interpreter sees -only one (long) line of input. Since Lua is a free-from language, it doesn't -usually matter, but it does if you use comments: -\begin{Verbatim} - \directlua{a_function() - -- a comment - another_function()} -\end{Verbatim} -won't do what you probably expect: ©another_function()© will be seen as part -of the comment (it's only one line, remember). - -Another consequence of being read by \tex is that successive spaces are merged -into one space, and \tex comments are discarded. So, here is a surprisingly -correct version of the previous example. -\begin{Verbatim} - \directlua{a_function() - % a comment - another_function()} -\end{Verbatim} -It is also worth noticing that, since since the argument basically is inside a -©\write©, it's in expansion-only context. If you don't know what it means, let -me say that expansion issues are mostly what makes \tex programming so -difficult to avoid expanding further on that matter. - -\medskip - -I'm sorry if the last three paragraphs were a bit \tex{}nical in nature but -I thought you had to know. To reward you for staying with me, here is a -debugging trick. Put the following code near the beginning of your document: -\begin{Verbatim} - \newrite\luadebug - \immediate\openout\luadebug luadebug.lua - \AtEndDocument{\immediate\closeout\luadebug} - \newcommand\directluadebug{\immediate\write\luadebug} -\end{Verbatim} -Then, when you have a hard time understanding why a particular call to -©\directlua© doesn't do what you expect, replace this instance of the command -with ©\directluadebug©, compile as usual and look in the file -\file{luadebug.lua} produced what the Lua interpreter actually read. - -For everything but trivial pieces of Lua code, it is much wiser to use an -external file containing only Lua code defining functions, then load it and -use its functions. For example: -\begin{Verbatim} - \directlua{dofile("my-lua-functions.lua")} - \newcommand*{\greatmacro}[2]{% - \directlua{my_great_function("\luatexluaescapestring{#1}", #2)}} -\end{Verbatim} -The example assumes that ©my_great_function© takes a string and a number as -arguments. Notice that we carefully use the ©\luatexluaescapestring© primitives -on the string argument to escape any backslash or double-quote it might contain -and which would confuse the Lua parser.\footnote{If you ever used SQL - then the concept of escaping strings is hopefully not new to you.} - -\medskip - -That's all concerning Lua in \tex. If you're wondering why -©\luatexluaescapestring© has such a long and silly name, you might want to -read the next section. - -\subsection{Other things you should know}\label{things} - -Just in case it isn't obvious, the \luatex manual, \file{luatexref-t.pdf}, is -a great source of information about \luatex and you'll probably want to -consult it at some point (though it is a bit arid and technical). - -It is important to know that the name of the new primitives of \luatex as you -read them in the manual are not the actual names you'll be able to use in -\lualatex. To prevent clashes with existing macro names, all new primitives -have been prefixed with ©\luatex© unless they already start with it, so -©\luaescapestring© becomes ©\luatexluaescapetring© while ©\luatexversion© -remains ©\luatexversion©. The rationale is detailed in section~\ref{formats}. - - -\section{Essential packages and practices}\label{essential} - -This section presents the packages you'll probably want to always load as a -user, or that you should absolutely know about as a developer. - -\subsection{User-level} - -\pkdesc{fontspec}{\WSPR}{\xetex, \luatex}{\latex}{% - macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/}[https://github.com/wspr/fontspec/] -Nice interface to font management, well-integrated in to the \latex font -selection scheme. Already presented in the previous section. - -\subsection{Developer-level} - -\subsubsection{Naming conventions} - -On the \tex end, control sequences starting with ©\luatex© are reserved for -primitives. It is strongly recommended that you do \emph{not} define any such -control sequence, to prevent name clashes with future versions of \luatex. If -you want to a emphasize that a macro is specific to \luatex, we recommend that -you use the ©\lua© prefix (without a following ©tex©) instead. It is okay to -use the ©\luatex@© prefix for internal macros, since primitive names never -contain ©@©, but it might be confusing. Moreover, you're already using a -unique prefix for internal macros in all of your packages, aren't you? - -On the Lua end, please keep the global namespace as clean as possible. That -is, use a table ©mypackage© and put all your public functions and objects in -this table. You might want to use Lua's -\href{http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-module} {\code{module()}}. -Other strategies for Lua module management are discussed in -\href{http://www.lua.org/pil/15.html} {chapter~15 of \emph{Programming in - Lua}}. Also, it is probably a good idea to use ©local© for your internal -variables and functions. Finally, to avoid clashes with future versions of -\luatex, it is recommended to avoid modifying the namespaces of \luatex's -default libraries. - -\subsubsection{Engine and mode detection}\label{detect} - -Various packages allow to detect the engine currently processing the document. - -\pkdesc{ifluatex}{\HO}{all}{\latex, Plain}{% - macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/} -Provides ©\ifluatex© and makes sure ©\luatexversion© is available. - -\pkdesc{iftex}{\VK}{all}{\latex, Plain}{% - macros/latex/contrib/iftex/}[http://bitbucket.org/vafa/iftex] -Provides ©\ifPDFTeX©, ©\ifXeTeX©, ©\ifLuaTeX© and corresponding ©\Require© -commands. - -\pkdesc{expl3}{The \LaTeX3 Project}{all}{\latex}{% - macros/latex/contrib/expl3/}[http://www.latex-project.org/code.html] -Amongst \emph{many} other things, provides ©\luatex_if_engine:TF©, -©\xetex_if_engine:TF© and their variants. - -\pkdesc{ifpdf}{\HO}{all}{\latex, Plain}{% - macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/} -Provides ©\ifpdf© switch. \luatex, like \pdftex, can produce either PDF or DVI -output; the later is not very useful with \luatex as it doesn't support any -advanced feature such as Unicode and modern font formats. The ©\ifpdf© switch -is true if and only if you are running \pdftex-or-\luatex in PDF mode (note -that this doesn't include \xetex, whose support for PDF is different). - -\subsubsection{Basic resources} - -\pkdesc{luatexbase}{\ER \& \MPG}{\luatex}{\latex, Plain}{% - macros/luatex/generic/luatexbase/}[https://github.com/mpg/luatexbase] -The Plain and \latex formats provide macros to manage \tex basic resources, -such as count or box registers. \luatex introduces new resources that need to -be shared gracefully by packages. This package provides the basic tools to -manage: the extended conventional \tex resources, catcode tables, attributes, -callbacks, Lua modules loading and identification. It also provides basic -tools to handle a few compatibility issues with older version of \luatex. - -\note{Warning} This package is currently in conflict with the \pk{luatex} -package, since they both do almost the same thing. The respective package -authors are well aware of this situation and plan to somehow merge the two -packages in the near future, though the timeline is not clear. - -\pkdesc{luatex}{\HO}{\luatex}{\latex, Plain}{% - macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/} -See the description of \pk{luatexbase} above. This package provides the same -core features except for callback management and Lua module identification. - -\pkdesc{lualibs}{\ER}{\luatex}{Lua}{% - macros/luatex/generic/lualibs/}[https://github.com/mpg/lualibs] -Collection of Lua libraries and additions to the standard libraries; mostly -derived from the \context libraries. If you need a basic function that Lua -doesn't provide, check this package before rolling your own implementation. - -\subsubsection{Font internals}\label{fontint} - -Those packages are loaded by \pk{fontspec} to handle some low-level font and -encoding issues. A normal user should only use \pk{fontspec}, but a developer -may need to know about them. - -\pkdesc{luaotfload}{\ER \& \KH}{\luatex}{\latex, Plain}{% - macros/luatex/generic/luaotfload/}[https://github.com/khaledhosny/luaotfload] -Low-level OpenType font loading. Basically, it uses the ©fontloader© Lua -library and the appropriate callbacks to implement a syntax for the ©\font© -primitive very similar to that of \xetex and implement the corresponding font -features. It also handles a font database for transparent access to fonts from -the system and the \tex distribution either by family name or by file name, as -well as a font cache for faster loading. - -\pkdesc{euenc}{\WSPR, \ER \& \KH}{\xetex, \luatex}{\latex}{% - macros/latex/contrib/euenc/}[https://github.com/wspr/euenc] -Implements the ©EUx© Unicode font encodings for \latex's \pf{fontenc} system. -Currently, \xelatex is using ©EU1© and \luatex is using ©EU2©.

The following informations apply to \texlive 2010, and most likely to -\miktex 2.9 too, though I didn't actually check. Earlier versions of \texlive -had slightly different and less complete arrangements. - -\para{Primitive names} -As mentioned in section~\ref{things}, the name of the \luatex-specific -primitives are not the same in the \cmd{lualatex} format as in the \luatex -manual. In the \cmd{luatex} format (that is, \luatex with the Plain format), -primitives are available with their natural name, but also with the prefixed -name, in order to ease development of generic packages. - -The rationale, copy-pasted from the file \file{lualatexiniconfig.tex} that -implements this for the \cmd{lualatex} format, is: - -\begin{myquote} - \begin{enumerate} - \item All current macro packages run smoothly on top of pdf(e)TeX, so - those primitives are left untouched. - \item Other non-TeX82 primitives in \luatex may cause name clashes with - existing macros in macro packages, especially when they use very - ``natural'' names such as ©\outputbox©, ©\mathstyle© etc. Such a - probability for name clashes is undesirable, since the most existing - LaTeX documents that run without change under \luatex, the better. - \item The \luatex team doesn't want to apply a systematic prefixing policy, - but kindly provided a tool allowing prefixes to be applied. So we chose - to use it. Previously, we even disabled the extra primitives, but now - we feel it's better to enable them with systematic prefixing, in order - to avoid that each and every macro package (or user) enables them with - various and inconsistent prefixes (including the empty prefix). - \item The ©luatex© prefix was chosen since it is already used as a prefix - for some primitives, such as ©\luatexversion©: this way, those - primitives don't end up with a double prefix (for details, see - ©tex.enableprimitives© in the \luatex manual). - \item The ©\directlua© primitive is provided both with its natural name - (allowing easy detection of \luatex) and a prefixed version - ©\luatexdirectlua© (for consistency with ©\luatexlatelua©). - \item Various remarks: - \begin{itemize} - \item The obvious drawback of such a prefixing policy is that the - names used by \latex or generic macro writer won't match the names - used in the manual. We hope this is compensated by the gain in - backwards compatibility. - \item All primitives dealing with Unicode math already begin with ©\U©, - and maybe will match the names of \xetex primitives some day, so - maybe prefixing was not necessary/desirable for them. However, we - tried to make the prefixing rule as simple as possible, so that - the previous point doesn't get even worse. - \item The final name of some primitive may sound strange, namely those - already containing the name of an engine, such as - ©\luatexOmegaVersion©. However, since \luatex is not a drop-in - replacement for Omega/Aleph, we felt it wrong to provide - ©\OmegaVersion©. - \item Maybe some day we'll feel it's better to provide all primitives - without prefixing. If this happens, it will be easy to add the - unprefixed primitives in the format while keeping the prefixed names - for compatibility. It wouldn't work the other way round; i.e., - belatedly realizing that we should not provide the unprefixed - primitives would then break any \luatex-specific macro packages - that had been written. - \end{itemize} - \end{enumerate} -\end{myquote} - -\para{\cs{jobname}}[jobname] -The \latex kernel (and a lot of packages) use constructs like -©\input\jobname.aux© for various purposes. When ©\jobname© contains spaces, -this doesn't do the right thing, since the argument of ©\input© ends at the -first space. To work around this, \pdftex automagically quotes ©\jobname© when -needed, but \luatex doesn't for some reason. A nearly complete workaround is -included in \latex-based (as opposed to Plain-based) \luatex formats. - -It doesn't work, however, if \luatex is invoked as ©lualatex '\input name'©, -as opposed to the more usual ©lualatex name©. To work around this -limitation of the workaround included in the format, specifying a jobname -explicitly, as in ©lualatex jobname=name '\input name'©. Or even better, just -don't use spaces in the names of your \tex files. - -For more details, see -\href{http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/dev-luatex/2009-April/002549.html}{this old - thread} and -\href{http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2010-August/001986.html}{this newer one} -on the \luatex mailing lists, and \file{lualatexquotejobname.tex} for the -implementation of the workaround. - - -\section{Things that just work, partially work, or don't work (yet)} -\label{workornot} - -\subsection{Just working}\label{working} - -\para{Unicode} -Conventional \latex offers some level of support for UTF-8 in input files. -However, at a low level, non-ASCII characters are not atomic in this case: -they consist of several elementary pieces (known as \emph{tokens} to -\tex{}nicians). Hence, packages that scan text character by character -often have problems with UTF-8 in conventional \latex. Such packages include: -\pf{fancyvrb}, \pf{listings}, \pf{soul} and probably others. - -The good new is, with \lualatex, these packages start working on arbitrary -Unicode characters without even being modified. (Disclaimer: I didn't run -thorough tests, but I'm pretty sure they do.) You don't need to use tricky -wrapper packages such as \pf{listingsutf8} or \pf{soulutf8} (they won't work -with \luatex, anyway). - -\subsection{Partially working}\label{partial} - -\para{microtype} -Package \pf{microtype} has limited support for \luatex: more precisely, as of -version 2.4 2010/01/10, protrusion and expansion are available and activated -by default in PDF mode, but kerning, spacing and tracking are not supported -(sse table~1 in section~3.1 of \file{microtype.pdf}). - -On the other hand, \pk{luaotfload}, loaded by \pk{fontspec}, supports a lot of -microtypographic features. So the only problem is the lack of a unified -interface. - -\para{xunicode} -Package \pf{xunicode}'s main feature is to ensure that the usual control -sequences for non-ASCII characters (such as ©\'e©) do the right thing in a -Unicode context. It could \emph{probably} work with \luatex, but explicitly -checks for \xetex only. Since \pk{euenc}, loaded by \pk{fontspec}, includes a -modified version of this package, you usually don't need \pf{xunicode} so this -is not a problem. - -\subsection{Not working (yet)}\label{notworking} - -\para{old encodings}[oldenco] Packages playing with input (source files) or -output (fonts) encodings are very likely to break with \luatex. The good news -is, Unicode is a more powerful way to handle encoding problems that old -packages were trying to solve, so you most likely don't need these packages -anyway. However, not everything is already ported to the shiny new world of -Unicode, so you may have a more limited (or just different) set of choices -available for some time (this is especially true for fonts). - -\para{spaces} Spaces in file names are not really well supported in the \tex -world in general. This doesn't really get better with \luatex. Also, due to -tricky reasons, things my be worse if you have spaces in the name of your main -\tex file \emph{and} don't invoke \luatex in the usual way. If you do you -invoke it in the usual way, everything should work, and I won't tell you what -the unusual invocation looks like. Otherwise, read the point about -\pararef{jobname} in section~\ref{formats} for a workaround and technical -details. Or even better, don't use spaces in the names of your \tex files. - -\end{document} - -% vim: spell spelllang=en |
