@DavidCarlisle -- actually, if you search for "backslash at" a number of interesting questions come up, including the one you cited. since i find the "often referenced questions" list useful, i am not averse to adding to it when a particularly good item turns up.
@PauloCereda I used the last photo as my profile image on FB (don't search for me with my real name because I have a nickname, I don't trust FB very much, I use it only to keep in touch with faraway friends)
@Jan on luatex list? see my previous messages to the list, example of a png and jpg of same image (one made from the other by image magic) pdftex, xetex, firefox, chrome, all displayed the two images the same size, luatex made the jpg 20% larger
latex2e 2017/01/01 already in texlive this morning I see....
@Jan at the time of that message there were two users who had been in chat recently enough to be in the list of icons on the right, one called Jan and the other called Jan but different avatars and user numbers, so I wondered what @Jan would do....
(1) A sheet of paper is an ink-lined plane.
(2) An inclined plane is a slope up.
(3) A slow pup is a lazy dog.
QED: A sheet of paper is a lazy dog.

@Jan yes but actually I don't think there is any way to distinguish you with the @ syntax, I don't think you can be pinged by user number, only by name which is a bit odd as names are far from unique in the network.
@DavidCarlisle Ah, I see. I was wondering, that my user name "Jan" was not already taken by someone else. I suspected the system to watch for unambiguous user names. I was mistaken there.
In Ask Ubuntu chat, there is one user (cl-netbox) of which the user icon is recently displaying wrongly most of the time:
His icon on all sites id a blue square with the white letters cl. It shows up this way in the user list on the right and even in the popup bubble opening when I click his n...
Got a Populist gold badge for an answer with more than twice the votes than the accepted one (currently 37 and 18). :) Guess whose is the accepted answer?
@yo' -- still incarcerated, and the docs are still puzzlng over his symptoms, which are apparently atypical. (but so is gordon, for that matter.) one thing for sure, since he's getting tired out by just a walk to the end of the corridor and back, he'll not be up for any strenuous hikes in the near future. but at least he's able to breathe again -- a useful facility.
@DavidCarlisle -- depends on what language you think it's supposed to be.
@DavidCarlisle Thanks. That's great. I looked a bit around and hat the impression that he hasn't been seen since end of october and was a bit worried. Regarding the testing of the luaotfload release: I'm using it since miktex got luatex 1.0 both with miktex and with TL16 and had no problems. And I didn't heard of problems from any of the miktex users who installed the prerelease.
@yo' -- never heard of it, but of course i'm rather an old fogey about this sort of thing. if you google "drunken english" there are several likely prospects. and if you don't get the same google results that i do, i'll be happy to send the urls -- let me know.
@JosephWright @DavidCarlisle: I'm just back and can now update the kernel and test what happens in the combination TL16 + luaotfload release version + new kernel + new fontspec. If something explodes I will report back ...
@DavidCarlisle yeah, seemingly the range for symbols is missing. And if I set up TGTermesMath and then use Foo for specific ranges, I get all operators in TGTermesMath rather than Foo, no matter how hard I try with \setoperatorfont
@DavidCarlisle seems that if I set up \mathbfup to be non-bold and use \setoperatorfont\mathbfup I get what I want. I just lose bold math, which seemingly (hopefully) I won't miss.
@yo' leave an issue at github if you can, once fontspec settles down, attention will turn back to unicode-math and a list of issues would be good to have
@DavidCarlisle I'll try to fix a MWE. The thing is, it's also a mixture with beamer font issues
(I still have actually zero idea of how beamer sets up fonts, I just do whatever works, and if someone says "use professionalfonts", I do so without asking why)
@JosephWright @DavidCarlisle do you remember that I tested TU enc some time ago with tex4ht and it worked? So, it doesn't work now, when I updated TL :(
@JosephWright I will have to test it little bit more, but the issue is that it really selects the OT fonts. I think that we can fix it when we select different fontenc after the LaTeX kernel loads, I just have to find the right place where to put it . So I don't expect this to be really issue that you should care of.
@JosephWright Do you know what the rules are for TUG Boat articles? I'm wondering if I can distribute an article on packages for chemistry in class, but I found I need to login to access it, so I'm not sure if this would be permissible or not. Also, is there anything new for chemistry I should include? I've suddenly discovered I'm supposed to be teaching chemists to use LaTeX tomorrow. The workshop will be beginners, but I wanted to give them some further discipline-specific pointers.
@cfr anything older than a year should be accessible to all (I can get the article from tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents36-3.html without any login prompt if that's what you're after)
@cfr -- and if the author says you are welcome to use it, but doesn't happen to have a copy of the final published article, if you ask the editor nicely, she can arrange to send you a copy of the pdf file.
@barbarabeeton It is basically the workshop I published last semester, but it will have to be a little more squeezed timewise. But I am assuming that most of the students will have at least some programming experience, which means they need much less help and we get through it faster. (programming in a very broad sense.)
@JosephWright Ah. I'm so used to the idea that what it looks like is not under my control, so appearance is of minimal importance .... (Of course, it needs to be legible etc., but what it ends up looking like is not in my hands.)
@JosephWright Submitting something with a table seems daring enough .... I forget that some people publish pictures!
@egreg lualatex -output-format=dvi does that read the lualatex.fmt not dvilualatex.fmt, iIshould check, if it reads the luatex format then no point in making dvilualatex do any different
