I'm compiling some documentation that I last compiled on December 5, 2021 and I'm getting many underfull and overfull \hbox warnings with Latin Modern Math. Has anyone else noticed anything like this after the recent fontspec and tcolorbox updates?

I saw here 28 chess fonts. Wonderfull - one of them will be good enough.

mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/chessfss/…

% arara: lualatex
\documentclass[margin=5mm, varwidth]{standalone}
\usepackage[LSB2, LSB3, LSBC4, T1]{fontenc} % needed ???

\usepackage{chessboard}
\usepackage{xskak}
\setchessboard{
showmover=false,
boardfontfamily=condal,% <---- no effect........
}
\begin{document}
\newgame
\chessboard[]
\end{document}

I guess, it is completely logical, that there has to be said something like:

`setfen=rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR}`

and I have to know that by heart (german: "auswendig wissen")......

@cis the enpassant package with the fonts is not part of texlive for license reasons, it is only in miktex. You will have to install it manually ctan.org/pkg/enpassant.

@cis you don't have to know it. Your own example before sets a new game too and it doesn't use the fen.

Aha, somehow not that much happens...
(see below)

As for 'DejaVu Sans', which is what I actually wanted, I thought it was installed with TeXLive.

However, the 'allowed fonts' ( https://ftp.agdsn.de/pub/mirrors/latex/dante/macros/latex/contrib/chessfss/chessfonts_gallery.pdf ) seem to be fonts that have to be installed first.

Font installation in TeX(Live) is not trivial. That was ages ago for me, I don't know how to do it off the top of my head.

% arara: lualatex
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[LSB2, LSB3, LSBC4,T1]{fontenc} % use fontenc before chessboard
\usepackage{chessboard}
\usepackage{xskak}
\setchessboard{
showmover=false,
}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\section{Default}
\newgame
\chessboard[]

\foreach \Font in {alfonso, alpha, aventurer, berlin, cases, cheq, condal, harlequin, kingdom, leipzig, line,  lucena, magnetic, mark, marroquin, maya, mediaeval, merida, millennia, motif, pirat, skak,  skaknew, skak-k6 }{%%

@cis DejaVu Sans should be installed in most operating systems by default

@PauloCereda Oh no! That's mean!

Paulo Cereda

@samcarter oh no

@PauloCereda Funny, although linguists dislike language shaming since it's rarely actually about the language.

@AlanMunn Not really impressed by that organ tbh :(

I'm more impressed by the new cembalo (clavichord) that my teacher got made, that has extra 7 keys per octave to make it nineteen: alongside the standard white C D E F G A H and black B, Eb, C#, F# and G# it has also Db, D#, E#, Gb, Ab, A# and H#.
