Q: How to use the pigpen font with XeTeX?

9:33 AM

does this work in miktex, if so does miktex include a pfb font?

I am trying to use the pigpen font https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/pigpen by Oliver Corff. The pigpen.tex file is really small and seems equivalent to the following: \font\pp=pigpen but the following won't produce a valid PDF using xetex \font\pp=pigpen {\pp HELLO WORLD} \bye Sorry, pfa f...

@DavidCarlisle on windows it works for me with texlive but not with miktex. texlive creates a pk: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 pigpen.pfa

A: Ghost images when using wrapfig

@UlrikeFischer mktexpk gets called but fails here, meanwhile ..

If you use a latex older than 2020-04-21 you get wrapfig documents that the paragraph containig the wrapping text should not start in a group that ends before the cutout finishes. Otherwise wrapfig "forgets" where it is and re-starts the cutout. Your example is like {x} Draw an equilateral tria...

@DavidCarlisle ahh... so not a problem with the paragraph before. I think I'll delete my answer.

@Rmano Just leave the note at the end, which I am sure applies to all questions on the site?

@DavidCarlisle ;-P

I though you would protest for the "almost"

@PauloCereda I'm surprised they came up with such an unbureaucratic solution :)

@Skillmon I carefully left a trail of blame that did not include me

@DavidCarlisle it doesn't seem to include the younger team members either ;-(

I have a local git repo with totally screwed up history when viewed in Sourcetree. Doing git log from the terminal shows what should be there correctly. Any suggestions on how I could fix this?

@AlanMunn git log has millions of options has sourcetree picked up config to use some you don't expect? I had sourcetree once but not now so I guess something here? confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/…

@AlanMunn Try in GitKraken ;)

@JosephWright or git log on the command line:-)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Well yes, git log --oneline --graph is your friend (@AlanMunn)

@mickep ?

@DavidCarlisle Oh, maybe I did it wrong. Dutch pronounciation (try) of git log.

3:47 PM

@DavidCarlisle No this is not about what's displayed: it's displaying commits from other repos.

Some mixture of my repo plus what looks like arara :D

@AlanMunn blame @PauloCereda

@AlanMunn can --follow or similar coax the commandline log to show anything or do you think it's just sourcetree specific corruption?

@DavidCarlisle I'm pretty sure it's just Sourcetree corruption, because git log from the commandline shows only the commits I made.

I guess I'll try just removing the whole local folder and fetching a new copy.

If that doesn't fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of 'It's really pretty simple, just think of branches as...' and eventually you'll learn the commands that will fix everything.

@DavidCarlisle Bingo. :)

@AlanMunn If you do git log --all, do you then see the other stuff too?

@MarcelKrüger I want to install the songs package for a test in firstaid, where do I have to add it??

@UlrikeFischer Under .github/tl_packages there is a list of all TeX Live packages installed for the CI. The order doesn't matter.

@MarcelKrüger thanks, next try ...

@MarcelKrüger Ah, yes with the --all option I do see the other stufff.

@AlanMunn How to fix that depends a bit on whether you have any local tags in your repository. If not you can try git tag | xargs git tag -d to drop all local tags (and then maybe git fetch to restore the tags from your remote if there are any).

@MarcelKrüger I certainly haven't created any myself. When I do git tag I get 1.0 and 2.0 but those are spurious tags from the arara commits that are mixed in.

@AlanMunn Then just delete them with git tag -d. Afterwards the commits should no longer be listed (except if you also have a branch from arara somewhere but that's less likely, but can be checked with git branch -a).

5:31 PM

@MarcelKrüger Thanks! That did the trick. No idea where the arara commits came from. I also discovered that there was an old (different) bibbucket repo linked as as an external which accounted for some other weird history too. I deleted the tags and unlinked the extra remote and now everything looks as it should.

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@PauloCereda don't worry, it'll soon be dinner time

@PauloCereda @PhelypeOleinik Is the ABNT style compatible with an author/title system? Or is it intended to only be an author/year system?
