I don't know what I'm doing. Just using \definecolor{..}{HTML}{!!} where !! is just a copy of the link I gave.
But since 5 work well, I thought “all” would work. But it seems to be a problem with those two. And searching, for instance, here colorhexa.com/7e2f8e it seems to ve a “correct hex value”.
@SeanAllred There's not really much to play with, because I don't know what could be going wrong. I just tried using them, without definition, \color[HTML]{7e2f8e}, but the same two give problems.
I would like to point out that none of our (TeX.SX) questions is a PC or CG. They are not aimed at the code, they are aimed at the resulting graphics, method or whatever. Golfing Qs have never appeared AFAIK. If they appeared, I would VTC them as OT and flag for migration. Also note that we are an exception in the sense that we are the only site other than PCCG.SE that allows "questions with more correct answers" or "big-list questions". In general, this type of Qs is frowned upon by the Powers, and for a good reason. Dealing with them is not always simple and takes a lot of good judgement. — yo'5 mins ago

anyone knows if the program dvisvgm comes part of texlive 2014?
The reason I am asking, I am trying to report the crash with this program, but have no idea what version it is. On linux, there is a package called texlive-extra-utils, which I did not install, but it does include this program. Since I did not install this package, then I assume it came part of texlive native installation?
>sudo apt show texlive-extra-utils
Package: texlive-extra-utils
State: not installed
Version: 2013.20140215-2
Priority: optional
Section: tex
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Description: TeX Live: TeX auxiliary programs
Various useful, but non-essential, support programs. Includes programs and
macros for DVI file manipulation, literate programming, patgen, and the
TeX Works Editor.
This package includes the following CTAN packages:
.....
dvisvgm -- Convert DVI files to Scalable Vector Graphics format (SVG).
The problem is that doing dvisvgm --version or -v gives errors. So I have no idea what version of this program I am using now to report a bug
@DavidCarlisle -- thanks. likely would have seen it anyhow, but best to point it out. will check when i get back to where i can have half a dozen x-windows open at once to check the bugs list and test files, and if it's not already been reported, onto the list it goes.
@michal.h21 @DavidCarlisle I reported the dvisvgm crash here fyi https://answers.launchpad.net/dvisvgm/+question/262501 but since this is not the Ubuntu version, I am not sure what will happen. Where else to report bugs in dvisvgm that comes with texlive? How does one know if this version of dvisvgm is the same as the one that comes from the Ubuntu package texlive-extra-utils ?
@michal.h21 fyi, I forgot to mention that I changed the dvisvgm command in the build to this earlier: Make:add("dvisvgm","dvisvgm -n -TS1.25,1.25 -c 1.2,1.2 -p 1- ${input}.idv") i.e. I added the -TS scaling. WHich made the math more clear, (little larger). I do not think this has to do with the crash but thought to mention it. When I run the build again using the old read-each-time method, I see no crash any more. Using the commands System call: dvisvgm -n -p 10640 -c 1.2,1.2 -s report.idv > re9124x.svg
@HarishKumar hi! :-) I had been toying around with ideas for an answer to tex.stackexchange.com/q/169521/21344 for some time. But now that I have 10k tools I see that you had an answer that you deleted. Is there a reason?
One of the options in my work-in-progress answer was nearly identical to yours.
@JosephWright Oh goodness, you're right. I should always be using the global modifiers with global variables.
It's pretty late at night here :)
I was trying to create globally-effective versions of functions without duplicating code, so I made the changes in the local group and then 'exported' the changes to the global scope
It actually ended up working, but it's wrong on a more fundamental level then that
anyone here knows about font issues for texlive installation? I build dvisvgm from source, trying to track a bug,. When I run build, now I get these errors (/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex4ht/base/unix/tex4ht.env) Entering report.lg Entering report.css Entering report.tmp Make4ht: dvisvgm -n -c 1.2,1.2 -p 1- report.idv warning: kpathsea: configuration file texmf.cnf not found in these directories: /etc/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c.
@DavidCarlisle yes, that is what I used. I put question there first, not bug, as I was not sure if it bug or not. But used same URL (under contact, then clicked answer tracker link). Leads to answers.launchpad.net/dvisvgm
I doubt I'll get an answer. last question posted there was sept 2014
There is a bug in the dvisvgm that comes with TL 2014 for sure. So I downloaded source code from dvisvgm.sourceforge.net/Downloads (version 1.9). build it, installed it, and now running on same file, to see if this will crash or not. But I got all the above font errors, but it is running non-the-less and will see if it will crash or not when it gets to page 9000 or so like before
@Nasser it'll default from its location otherwise you'll need to set (at least) TEXMFROOT
% Kpathsea sets SELFAUTOLOC (the directory with the binary),
% SELFAUTODIR (its parent), and SELFAUTOPARENT (its grandparent).
TEXMFROOT = $SELFAUTOPARENT
@DavidCarlisle what command do I need to type to set up TEXMFROOT? I do not have these set >echo $TEXMFROOT
>echo $SELFAUTOPARENT
I guess it worked before since dvisvgm comes with TL and it knew where things are? Is there a rehash command I need to do to set these up? thanks
do you think I should cancel the current build due to these font errors? I looked at some of the SVG images generated so far, and they look ok, ie. the math is generated ok.
@DavidCarlisle I see. So I should edit my .bashrc and set an env variable TEXMFROOT=/usr/local/texlive/2014 so that the new dvisvgm will see the fonts. Ok, will do that. I need to add this to my latex cheat sheet
@DavidCarlisle I did make install, and it automatically installed it to >which dvisvgm /usr/local/bin/dvisvgm so it is easier now to just set up the env. variable.
@DavidCarlisle I did set it up, but still get the error. Please see
Make4ht: dvisvgm -n -c 1.2,1.2 -p 1- report.idv warning: kpathsea: configuration file texmf.cnf not found in these directories: /etc/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c.

@Nasser I just stumbled over this chat related to the question you posted at Launchpad. What kpathea development files did you use to build the dvisvgm binary? I guess you have to use the ones coming with TeXLive. If you link the one from the Ubuntu repository, the file lookup probably won't work properly.
Can you check whether the pfb files you get warnings about are actually there?
@Martin I remember having to install something for kpathea when I trying to build dvisvgm. Let me try to see if i can figure what version of kpathea I am using (I did not keep log file of what I installed to get dvisvgm to compile)
@Martin I installed, it looks like, the ones that comes with linux mint. These ones
@Nasser OK, thanks for the info. Did you also install TeXLive from the Mint packages or did you install it separately with tlmgr? In the latter case you can't use the Mint packages but have to use the kpathsea devel files belonging to the same TL distro too.
@Martin I installed TL directly from TUG. using tlmgr, Did not use ubuntu packages. I also just did search for one of the font files, and it is not there >cd $TEXMFROOT >find . -name ps2pk.map May be I should un-install kpathsea from the ununtu package then. And see if dvisvgm still work. This is all so confusing.
So if a program that comes with TL has a problem with it, like dvisvgm, what is one supposed to do? Since one can't install the external dvisvgm like I did, else it breaks TL settings.
@Nasser Yes, in this case you should uninstall the Ubuntu kpathsea packages. Since you built dvisvgm with them, it won't work any longer after the removal. Try to install the kpathsea development file from TL and build dvisvgm again with them instead.
@Martin but I had installed TL live complete, so did I not have kpathsea from TL allready? I assumed dvisvgm did not like that one or did not see it during the build. So that is why I installed the ubuntu version. I do not even know how to install the TL kpathsea. Is this something one does using tlmgr? I thought I had everything.
@Nasser Yes you have the kpathsea library already installed but not its development (.h and .so) files required to build applications with it. They are provided separately as far as I know.
@Nasser I don't think you have to build the whole kpathsea library again. I guess TL provides the corresponding development somewhere. However, I'm not a TL expert and can't tell if that's actually the case. Maybe someone on the TL list can help you with this.
@Martin I just did full update to TL using tmlgr. I am missing those kpathsea libraries when I run dvisvgm (external one): Entering report.tmp Make4ht: dvisvgm -n -c 1.2,1.2 -p 1- report.idv dvisvgm: error while loading shared libraries: libkpathsea.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Make4ht: Fatal error. Command dvisvgm returned exit code 32512 make: *** [report.htm] Error 1
Since I uninstalled the ubuntu version of kpathsea. So I need to find TL version of kpathsea and I have no idea where to get that. There is no source tar file to download. So I am stuck now.
@Martin I just uninstalled the external dvisvgm and now things back to original state. It was not working trying to install external program to that that comes with TL. BUt there is a bug in the TL version of dvisvgm, may be someone can look into this in the future.
@Nasser Yes, as already mentioned in my answer at Launchpad, there is a bug in dvisvgm 1.6. It was fixed in version 1.8. So with the current release you shouln't get the bad alloc exception.
Since I can't configure the external 1.9 version with TL, I have to use 1.6 version untill TL itself update. Is there another solution? I'll go read your reply at launchpad, I did not know there answer. thanks
@Martin I just read your answer. Here is a link to the file that cause the crash http://12000.org/tmp/make4ht/ the file has the word crash in it. Once downloaded, then using TL 2014, the command to issue is dvisvgm -n -c 1.2,1.2 -p 1- file.idv Then wait about 30 minutes or so, when it gets to page 9400 or so, it will crash again, this is using TL 2014 (version 1.6 of dvisvgm) please let me know if you need more information
@Nasser Yes, either 1.8 or 1.9 should work fine. Maybe someone of the TL folks can send you a recent dvisvgm binary. Since I use the Fedora TL packages only, I can't do that for you. But I guess there are some nice guys on the TL mailing list who can.
@Martin ok, I will ask. But I just updated TL, and still have 1.6, I guess dvisvgm is only updated once per year with TL live? Not like with the regular package updates. I mean, if there is a newer version of dvisvgm, I would think tlmgr should pull this as well and update. Ok, will send email to TL mailing list to see. thanks.
@Nasser Yes, unfortunately, the binaries are only updated with every new TL release. However, the sources of dvisvgm 1.9 are already present in the trunk so it should be possible for somebody to build them.
@Nasser thanks for the file. I just finished the conversion without any warnings or errors. It took 78 seconds to process the whole file on my Fedora box :)
@Martin 78 seconds !!!! no way. It takes about 40 minuets on my VBox. Did you make speed improvements? I do not understand how could the difference be so large
@PauloCereda do you think using VBox can make such huge difference? my PC is fast, intel super CPU, 16 GB, but Vbox is 2 GB Ram. Still the difference is amazing.
@Martin you think Fedora is better for latex than Linux mint? I want to go buy a PC and install Linux on it, will try Fedora. I've been using Linux mint for long time. Yes, I am done with VBox. I can't believe I've been waiting for days for build to finish when it could have taken few minutes
@Nasser if it is writing a lot of files and searching for fonts etc, the filesystem is probably as important as anything else: if you have the kpathsea caching wrong or haven't an ssd, then it is easy to get orders of magnitute time differences. (I once changed an internal job from 10 hours to 40 minutes by just not writing some intermediate files and reading them back, but instead holding everything in memory:-)
@DavidCarlisle I also have my data on shared folder, all mounted from windows, as I keep all my latex file on windows disk, but mount them shared to the Linux Vbox. So this might also slow thing. I use external USB disk. Nothing fancy
@DavidCarlisle Ok, will get new PC with internal SSD, just for latex compiling. The problem I really still need to use windows, as I have some apps on it I need. So will have a figure a way to share data with the other PC.
@Nasser I don't think Fedora is better than any other Linux distro. It's probably a matter of taste. Personally, I chose Fedora many years ago and am still satisfied with it. BTW, I don't have an SSD installed either. Just an old fashioned HD, and 16GB of RAM. :)
@egreg how to redefine letter `d` in italic mode for cyrillic? Problem is that I need that letter `d` in italic mode looks like italic `g` in English. You can see here what I mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script#mediaviewer/File:Serbian_Cyrillic_Italic.svg I use \documentclass{article}
so basicly, I need to redefine definition of italic `d` and to say that instead that I will use italic `g` from English alphabet. But I am too stupid to do something like that. I hopes you understand what I a…
@Cortizol tex has really very little control over the fonts, it just uses the font metrics such as height and width of the character, and then the font determines what that looks like. So there isn't really a tex definition to redefine. You could (if it makes sense?) make a new virtual font that was same as the original but used a g in that position? Oh or as in the question you just referenced if you switch to xetex or luatex you could use opentype substitutions
@Cortizol There is a simplistic workaround, but it has the drawback that the letter cannot be copied and pasted as a cyrillic “d”. This can be remedied with accsupp, but doesn't work with all PDF previewers (only with Adobe Reader, as far as I know).
@egreg I know, but I don't see in question code, except that he use \textserbian, and I tried that also but it wasn't work. I suppose that I have to change this line \setmainfont[RawFeature={language=DFLT}]{Linux Libertine O} in your answer with something, but I don't know what that is.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage[Script=Cyrillic]{serbian}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
ИВИЋ,\,П.: \textit{Преглед историје српског језика.} Сремски Карловци~– Нови Сад 1998.
\end{document}
@Cortizol ^^^^ This also changes the appearance of cyrillic g and p, though.
@egreg Just one, more theoretical question. Suppose that polyglossia works with pdflatex. Than, I suppose that I can use polyglossia for italic, and T2A for normal printed letters? Just yes or no
@egreg do you have any thoughts on adding a commabelow accent to (at least) inputenc's utf8 support. the thread is a bit mangled in the web view but see latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=latex/4414&; where I adapted a bit of code from utf8x
@egreg The request doesn't seem unreasonable so we're wondering about adding those 4 (would probably have to go into end of utf8.def where textordfeminine and friends are defined) since they don't seem that closely tied to an existing encoding such as T1
@egreg that's the trouble with these things hard to get right, especially if you have no idea about the normal language conventions:-) Also if I don't use exactly same definition as ucs/utf8x need to worry about potential clashes, or at least odd changes if someone moves from one to another.
@DavidCarlisle As we seem to have some traction in various areas it would be good if we could get a reasonable number of the team in one place: I'm weighing up whether to go as it's our graduation week!
@JosephWright similarly it's first week of school hols here, not sure if I have other commitment plus I think these days I'd have to take it as holiday, I doubt I can push it through work as a conference visit, although i could ask:-)
@JosephWright when I worked at a university I never had any allocated holiday, I just had to work "reasonable hours" so if I thought it was reasonable to go to a TUG meeting, I did. It seems a bit harder these days.
@DavidCarlisle this is the common practice here in France. But they forced the Academy of Sciences to introduce a software where you have to register the holidays in advance. The only rule is: you can't me on mission and you can't come at work that day.
@JosephWright ah that sucks. Here I think the idea is that "your boss can 'exceptionally' allow you to work from home", where 'exceptionally' means what it means in France.
@egreg sounds quite right. I know books with the very same style features (font, math symbols and spacing etc.) typeset in 70s and 80s in Czechia, but I think I've seem some Russian ones too. Cannot be a coincidence.
@egreg yes well since I only made that because you said it was too small and showed me a picture I'm not surprised you like that one more:-) Thanks for the help though, of course We could always duck the issue and decide no change:-) @JosephWright any thoughts or are you still claiming you don't get involved in 2e stuff:-) I'm not sure really if going via the math font sizes is helping, could just use .7 of the current font size and rely on NFSS substitutions. Hmmm
Package currfile with the abspath option can obtain the absolute path of the current file. However, it relies on running pdflatex with the -recorder flag.
Would it be possible to achieve the same objective using lualatex?
Note that lualatex has the same set of command line flags as pdlflatex, so...
Oh OK, your wording seemed to imply the option was pdftex specific. I have it on good authority a lua answer is imminent:-) — David Carlisle13 secs ago
