@EnthusiasticEngineer texlive comes with several thousand fonts, and xetex and luatex can use any font installed on your system in addition to the ones that come with texlive.
@UlrikeFischer apparently I have posted a starred chat message within 12 hours of the start of 2020 UTC time which seems quite impressive given the date.
@UlrikeFischer did you like the "I have used two of David Carlisle's packages and things don't work (ps I have completely broken a core latex command at the same time, but I won't mention that)" question?
@DavidCarlisle ;-) I was still on my smartphone in the morning and couldn't really test what this clearpage command is meant to do and so commented only on the empty pagestyle. But I always wonder how this "I'm new to latex" people get hold of such code.
@UlrikeFischer They probably are scared stiff. So much so, that they don't dare question it and much less remove it, thinking it must be important since someone put it there.
I don't remove parts from my car either, even if I don't know what they're for.
@HaraldHanche-Olsen but if a passing stranger passes you a ticking package and suggests you strap it to the engine, would you trust them implicitly and do as suggested?
Would you favour a command line application like arara to have localised messages (i.e, speak your language) or do you prefer using English as default?
[ ] Yes, localised messages
[ ] No, English is enough
That ingenious OS called Windows. Today: Connecting a second monitor, but it is only recognized as long as the monitor is turned off, as soon as I turn it on, Windows doesn't find it anymore :(
@PauloCereda I tried to set the tick, but it didn't work in this chat, and Twitter tries to sell me an account for my vote to suffice. So here is my vote including reasoning: No, English is enough, localised messages only help for people who have no glimpse of English and aggravate scripting and helping.
@DavidCarlisle No, but that's a bad analogy. This person probably got the code from a friend who got it from a friend who … (you get the drift), and who wouldn't want to trust their friends?
@PauloCereda well personally I don't need localised messages and english messages are better for asking help or when searching in the documentation or in the internet. On the other side I wouldn't like to miss some of the arara localisations, and localizations can be helpful for people who don't understand any english.
Hi all. Does anyone know if it is possible to have two different indents for numbered and unnumbered display equations (using amsmath and fleqn-option)?
@Lupino no interface to it but you can do \makeatletter\setlength\@mathmargin{3cm}\makeatother ... \makeatletter\setlength\@mathmargin{1cm}\makeatother to have different indents
@DavidCarlisle thanks, i found \mathindent=6mm\relax but this is universal for both numbered and unnumbered equations. customer wants unnumbered equations woth no indention, and numbered with 6mm margin… I tell them, its not possible, right?
@Lupino mathindent isn't consulted after the preamble (it just sets \@mathmargin) but as I say you can set \@mathmargin locally to get different settings but you would have to switch manually the indent between unnumbered and numbered forms
@DavidCarlisle i'm writing a cls, so i'm always in the preamble ;) i found a way by redefining \mathdisplay and utilizing \ifst@rred…\fi that works. So far.

@JosephWright it was nice to be able to address the epstopdf issue from the texlive list in 5 minutes, and not have to spend an hour and a half repackaging the whole lot:-)
@PauloCereda Just received your season's greetings - thank you! <3 I sent you something a while ago, but I don't suppose you'll get it for a year or so, knowing the postal service to Brazil. P.S. I also got a colleague to translate the Portuguese for me. ;)
