@egreg @ChristianHupfer By the way, I don't mind closing tex.stackexchange.com/questions/288382/…, but I think the original choice of duplicate was wrong, which is why I first voted to reopen.
@barbarabeeton I'm looking to join TUG as student (with a valid ID card from an accredited institution). However I did not see where I should provide it. I'll received an email after or something similar? (sorry if it's written somewhere but haven't seen it)
In TeX.SX the tags XeTeX and XeLaTeX are the same, but there is a big diference between this two topics, so when we look for something specific we get also results of little help. The same case happens with LaTeX an TeX. Thus splitting in two separate tags is of use, more opinions like this one?
@egreg ooh I almost froze to death in Barcelona with a weather of 27C. :) I think the real problem is the thermal sensation. :)
@egreg I am about to get the Lucida pack soon. What would be your recommended preamble setup (normal text + math) for PDFLaTeX and new engines (e.g, XeLaTeX)?
@egreg it's simple you just need to get Will to write fontspec so that it works with pdftex, in the case that a more or less compatible set of 8bit encoded type1 fonts and tex metrics are available
@JosephWright looks good (apart from this area ad ideas of language) let's see if it receives universal acclaim:-)
@DavidCarlisle I was thinking more that you could imagine an interface like fontspec's but generalised, with some idea of mapping from an agreed font name to either a system font or one set up for pdfTeX. However, it's I suspect too fragile and masks important differences in outcomes, etc.
@JosephWright yes in the end I think there are too many choices in mapping from one otf font with some font features specified to a set of 8bit fonts, and having a generic interface is not workable but if there was a simple packages for the main tex font sets such as "computer modern" or "times" or "stix math" or "latin modern" probably the majority of documents could get by without an explicit \ifxetex test.
@JosephWright Copy-paste of the code from ltnews23! I suppose I could have done that:-) Actually I'd planned to move it to the class file (so it worked still with older latex, but I guess that isn't really essential)
is this question answerable or close as OT? (see comments)
I have a tex file:

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\begin{abstract}
Here is the first citation [1]. And here comes the next [2].

@JosephWright texlua build.lua ctan makes the right zip file but moans a bit: I'll look later, but if you want to fix, feel free:-) zip error: Nothing to do! (luatex-def.zip)
@Alenanno I know that there is a difference between a close and on hold question. But when you have someone that wrote a question 30 minutes ago you can wait before to close I think no?
In my Slackware times, I used ReiserFS. Then, with RH and Fedora, I moved to Ext3 and Ext4. I used ZFS with OpenSolaris for a while, then I decided to try something new, either Btrfs or XFS. :)
@PauloCereda btrfs is closer to zfs. btrfs is missing some of the enterprise features (e.g., RAID is a little bit of a pain), but for a single user desktop/laptop I like the snapshots and the dynamic inodes.
At one point I was running an experiment that generated a ton of directories and I ran out of inodes on ext4.
I've got a question that I'm sure has been answered on this site, but I'm not finding it. I want to manually advance the equation counter, or set it to a specific value. Trying to keep equation numbers on lecture slides consistent with those in the textbook for the class.
Hi, I have a picture (logo picture), and I don't want the white background to appear. I just want the symbol and text to appear. How can I edit this picture such that I get what I want? I am sorry if my question is out off topic.
So, I took a previous answer of mine and made it more serious by using captions rather than just minipage text. The I took your image saved it as molecule-orig.png and used imagemagic convert:
convert molecule-orig.png -transparent white molecule.png
So the background in molecule.png is trans...
@DavidCarlisle Yes, that is what I want, making the background transparent. In fact, I have an old version of the logo which is .png file from the last year 2015, when I want to update it to 2016 using MS paint and save it, a message appears telling that I lose the transparency of the picture
