@bardzo it's a feature of opentype fonts which xetex and luatex can use, personally I haven't much idea how to create a font (fontforge is one free tool)
@bardzo but for tex the situation of glyph variants for the same character has nothing on common with the situation of choosing different characters. So you first need to be very specific about how the font is constructed before thinking about how to access that from tex
@JosephWright Oy, 2003. But you are right, the RC in 2008.
@JosephWright Don't tell anyone, but 2008 could have been the first time i ever heard of LaTeX. And the guy is was talking to said: »Na, don't mind it, you won't need it.«
I have made modifications to a few files of a C++ program. I would like to document on these changes in a nice LaTeX report, by showing exactly what I modified and explaining why I did so.
Since there are quite a lot of lines of code that have changed, it is not really an option to go through al...
Paulo: I’m sure everybody wants to ask you this: when will you post your first question at TeX.sx? :P egreg: When I’ll have a problem that I’m not able to solve. :)
Hi, I remember somebody mentioning that the \mathup range is default for capital greek letters (in unicode-math). How do I get the greek lower case letters as well?
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Good afternoon! I'm Psmith, the friendly TeX bot - the p in my name is silent, as in pshrimp. I'm here as a companion to our fellow users in the typographic land. As you probably noticed, I always reply under Paulo's account, but do not despair, I say, my replies are always preceded by my own name. Enjoy your stay at TeX.sx!

Is possible to write to file all information of chapter with spaces, lines and chars?
I have text, and 5cm wide line. I need ascii text file with

@PauloCereda I just used @egreg's regexpatch to patch something multiple time. Apparently, the output showed, doesn't work. Later i noticed, i forgot to place the star. I used a typeout in the failure argument to be more comfortable and not have to switch to the pdf again and again. After staring at the screen for much too long, i switched to the pdf, and wow, it works. Turnout my \typeout{IDIOT} was in the success argument, failure was empty.

@michal.h21 So far so good, apparently. :) But I didn't delve that much. I was thinking of documenting my adventures, if you feel like taking a peek. :)
also I was stupid that I installed 32 bit version (I have fairly old laptop and didn't knew whether it support 64 bit) and it seems that it's not easily possible to upgrade from 32 to 64 bit (only reinstall, which isn't something I'd like do)
I am thinking about buyng new laptop (not really new, some used Dell Latitude or ThinkPad), my current laptop is really dying (missing keys on keyboard, screen works only when opened at certain angle - about 170, so it is not really comfortable :)
I am trying to adapt the Beamer table of content to my needs. I use the columns environment to change the lay-out of frames with a lot of white space. This works fine in most cases, but when I use it with the ToC, the vertical spacing is wrong, and the list is compressed. See the example below. A...
@JosephWright Don't worry. The OPs of 2013 don't wait for answers, and the open questions don't hurt anyone. But they are a chance for new users who don't succeed in the rep race at new Qs: they can filter old questions and answer peacefully.
@JosephWright Those are the ones i meant earlier. There seems to be some information missing for a clear and to the point answer. If the user is still active, super; if not ...
(the hardcore part isn't written yet, but I have config file and it uses etoolbox's command patching, iflang package and some really nice TeX hacking) I really suck in writing for beginners :(
@egreg I think it's clear that there is a difference of opinion at the technical level: one approach is 'write only sufficient code to answer the task at hand' and the other is 'write general code which can be reused in various places'. There is not that much common ground between the two.
@egreg the number of times when the extra confusion is worth it seem limited
@egreg we could have a primitive \thinglikebgroupthatdoeswhatyouthoughtbgroupdidbutitdoesntatthestartofalignments then you wouldn't need such trickery
