@JosephWright Funny you should mention it. My test suite obviously isn't comprehensive enough! I've finally started adding some proper l3build tests (but it was coverage that was the problem). Do you think CI is worth it at this level? (Do you have it for siunitx?)
@WillRobertson I've started on CI for siunitx but only at the mo for the v3 development stuff. As you say, coverage is an issue: it's probably not worth it in reality

@WillRobertson sorry about that, I should probably have spotted that sprint before (I spotted it from a version installed from my fork, but just after tlmgr had put the same thing in the main tree:-)
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99993 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX/dev)
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.88.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX/dev)
@DavidCarlisle Yes, that's how it looks here: as I say, I suspect in part it's l3build version differences (as I had to alter the whitespace treatment)
@DavidCarlisle As I think I've said already, there's an issue with the entire idea of each char having to be in a single class (doesn't overlap well with the realities)
@WillRobertson I got bold and regular times lt and times ten lt from here (free for personal use, it said...) and I can confirm that your Heros example works, but this does not font2s.com/search.html?q=times+ten+lt
I need to learn Latex and I want to Know whether The Latex Companion 2nd Ed. by Goossens et. al. is still up to date since it was written more than 10 years ago
I am not sure, this question doesn't seem to suit the format.

"My holy grail of a LaTeX guide, one that could teach a total beginner how to create a long text document with multilingual text (e.g., English, French and Japanese), footnotes/endnotes/references, some simple formulas, and basic font and layout manipulations all within a 2-hour tutorial, has yet to be realized."
@JosephWright I was chatting with one of the attendees of the november course who i told to read Latex for complete novices. "I don't understand this, it is english. There aren't enough explanations." Five minute later he stated: "I just want a short and compact guide that tells me everything"
@DavidCarlisle Maybe the ebook, every single book of TLC clears an acre of rain forest ;-)
@Johannes_B Mumble, my local bookseller says 'it's not on our system' :-(
I hate it when I have to buy a book online because I can't get it in the shop (OK, I can get it from Heffers but I'm not sure when I'm next in Cambridge)
@JosephWright I didn t know this is possible. THinking back, every book could be ordered to catch the next day (except the book is sold out). But then, amazon became popular and i went to a local store only to browse myself through the books (mostly to assess the quality of a book, amazon reviews always review the content of a book. Who the heck is interested in the content in an amazon review?).
@Johannes_B Real bookshops need to buy from a wholesaler: the bookshop on campus is the biggest national chain in the UK, but they don't have it. Luckily, a proper academic bookshop (Heffers/Blackwells) does: I've ordered online as I'd have to go to Cambridge/Oxford/London to go into their shops.

@DavidCarlisle no problem at all :) these edge cases are always tricky to resolve — highlight some deep assumptions in the code that aren't always easy to correct without tearing some things out
@WillRobertson by the way did you look at the greek example that showed up that sprint bug? the actual question relates to "other discussions" the OP wanted sans serig Greek with accents but most of the sans fonts I had (apart from Arial and Source Sans Pro) drop the accented letters makes one wonder how hard it would be to put the accented letters back.....
Of course, this is a classic example of the "get better fonts" philosophy. Why should my code be clever enough to know what to do when you feed it four fonts in a family, of which only one doesn't have small caps? :)
@DavidCarlisle Oh, I didn't actually look at the output after it compiled without error :)
@DavidCarlisle I had to switch fonts, and Lucida Grande on Mac seemed to typeset it okay (unless the source itself doesn't render properly on a Mac either)
@WillRobertson I think in luatex you could essentially construct an on-the-fly virtual font with the constructed accents, in theory, would probably mess up hyphenation though
@JosephWright @WillRobertson actually I think it's simpler than that you don't need a virtual font you can poke virtual characters into the existing font:
When LuaTEX encounters a commands field inside a character when it becomes time to typeset the character, it will interpret the commands, just like for a true virtual character. In this case, if you have created no fonts' array, then the default (and only) base' font is taken to be the current font itself. In practice, this means that you can create virtual duplicates of existing characters which is useful if you want to create composite characters.
It seems to me that everyone agrees that no one should use the latex built-in eqnarray environment. So much so that packages have been made to fix it, and several alternatives have been made, ie. align from amsmath, just to name one.
But seeing as everyone agrees the latex built-in eqnarray envi...
If you have a gun that always overshoots to the right and you know that, you will still get your target. If somebody fixes your gun and it works perfectly now, you will not get your target anymore, or with a lot of redoing stuff.

@barbarabeeton ^^^^^^ Somebody helped me in getting every page of the wikibook on the watchlist (you can't simply say i wanna see all changes for that book). I was surprised, there really is quite a bit of action
@DavidCarlisle By the time i had finished the answer i had forgotten about it. :-)
@DavidCarlisle Google translate from the serbian wikibook: *Asking for help is not NESO therefore should not be shy, just first have completed little work yourself to make it easy for patrons. How to do that? Prepare the appropriate minimum work that produces your problem that will give patrons perfekntu basis to deal with your problem. If you do not know how to prepare this case (known as the MWE), follow the example above. When you become more experienced, you will be able to own problems to solve. :-)
@DavidCarlisle Is the initial text the original english that was translated by a human (i guess) to serbian, or is the initial the serbian that was translated by google?
Does anybody know how i can lure a certain wikibook user into this chat room? Or some freaking mailing list. I don't want to create a user page for him just to say
"Hi, wanna step aside for a minute. We want to have a short chat with you. We have some plans. Don't worry, we just want to have a friendly talk." ;-)
Yes, it is! Regarding wikibook, I need first to collect some more information about it. Otherwise in Slovene language exist "No so short introduction ..."
@Zarko Wow. You have a short time you can edit your last post. Just hit the arrow-up button on your keyboard ;-)

@DavidCarlisle Also true: I have a feeling we had a question about a minimal loader and it came in rather 'lighter' than luaotfload: can't pin it down ATM

@JosephWright that would be my guess. It would be good to get a reproducible example of that: I never understood exactly what was going wrong as far as I recall.
My university uses this pastebin.com/rJxJhCaE for bibliography while I have used to \usepackage{biblatex} and \printbibliography. When I try to use biber with the template wiki.aalto.fi/display/Aaltothesis/…, it fires many errs (apparently the template importing many packages not favored by biber), can someone help to find the packages intercepting biber?
@topskip Ages ago there was some discussion somewhere (here, LuaTeX list, ...?) about font loaders in LuaTeX, and one much smaller and lighter than luaotfload was suggested (of course limited to western European glyphs). I have a feeling your were involved in some way: do you remember where it was?
@Johannes_B I uncommented the natbib so getting it compiled but I am getting now "Cannot find control file 'thesis-example.tex.bcf'! - did you pass the "backend=biber"" (yes I did so diagnosing the biber thing)
I have a table and it appears I only have two options when it comes to font size: large and small. There should be a medium option, correct? I get an error when I replace small or large with medium.
The beginning of my table looks like this:

I want to put different sizes of fonts (smaller) into different rows of my LaTeX table. I found that it is possible to have different font sizes for different columns of this post. Is there any simple way to put different fonts to LaTeX table rows ?
@JosephWright Can you reopen tex.stackexchange.com/q/270485/2693 ? It's not strictly speaking a Mac problem, since the likely source of the problem is an old /usr/texbin path added by a prior TeX Live installation. I'll add an answer explaining that plus @Mico 's more local solution.

@JosephWright this has some quotations from the 1500s but spelling then doesn't really correspond to english as used now so no argument that its wrong now en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pr%C3%A6fer
@DavidCarlisle I don't think that it is helpful but it shows that the problem is not new;-). It would be rellay useful to have a number of examples for "official" interfaces. Currently so many things are trial and error and it is unclear if they will still work next week.

@JosephWright Well they're obsolete to the extent that they were previously spelled that way, but the earlier you go back the more variability in the spelling there is in English, so it's easy to find almost any spelling you like. Because of that, I would agree they are really incorrect in that they don't reflect the current spelling of any modern variety of English.
@JosephWright Unfortunately we are on shaky ground here given the meta discussion we had about @barbarabeeton 's lower case... (No offence to you, barbara, and but it makes it hard for us to argue the simple argument that we don't tolerate personal idiosyncrasies in spelling.) I think we have some potential for troll-like behaviour from this user, so my suspicion is that we should just let him go away quietly.
@JosephWright @barbarabeeton I'm not saying an argument can't be made, just that it will have to be a "yes, but case insensitivity isn't the same as misspelling", so a bit harder to make.
@JosephWright Also, it's not clear that he's actually using the æ in a(n) historically accurate way, since at least for "prædilection" no such spelling is noted in the OED. For some of the others, the æ spelling occurred but rarely. Most of the æ spellings arose in the 17th c. during the English grammarians love affair with Latin.
@yo' Congratulations!
@JosephWright Is it allowed to downvote questions for incorrigible spelling? (pun intended)
