We currently specify that dvips be used. This could potentially
change in the future. One issue is that with system fonts XeTeX and
LuaTeX do not correctly rotate pages.
Compilation of our Seminar example file fails on updated TL20. The
maintainer of "Seminar" is not planning to fix the core issue and
states the following (in a private email with permission to quote):
it is a problem with the new hook management of the current latex.ltx
seminar is a quite old package and there is no reason to use it with a
new LaTeX format. It won't be fixed, so the usual way is to use the
package latexrealease to get the old hook management.
This commit adds a note to the example files explaining the
workaround of exporting to a .tex file and prepending the following
line:
\RequirePackage[2020-02-02]{latexrelease}
We now invert the relevant tests.
Set fonts to DejaVu to avoid the following error:
! Package polyglossia Error: The current latin font does not
contain the "Cyrillic" script!
This choice of font is consistent with the Russian intro and
tutorial manuals.
* invert failing lyx2lyx tests for ko/Welcome
* add dedicated test sample
* set language for English text part in ko/Welcome.
Also
* fix a lyx2lyx language test sample
* fix clause in unreliableTests
Debian stable ships now TL18, we don't need to care for older TL versions.
Make CJK-ko documentation more robust (failed with non-TeX fonts and XeTeX,
if LatinModern is not installed system-wide).
The test sample for LyX bug 3059 triggers an error only with
"fontencoding auto-legacy" and can be safely ignored with non-TeX fonts.
Latin Modern works fine with Japanese.
If "lmodern" is set for \font_roman the "lmodern.sty" package sets
sans-serif and teletype to Latin Modern fonts as well.
Therefore, \font_sans and \font_teletype are better left as "default"
(less preamble code) in the LaTeX source).
PDF outline improves with unicode/utf8 (although some chars still wrong).
Math: ERT for umlauts no longer required (now force-converted with unicodesymbols)
* do not ignore Japanese (platex) with system fonts.
* CJK can be used with XeTeX and TeX-fonts if the input encoding is utf8.
do not ignore.
* TODO: set non-TeX fonts and uninvert where possible.
Fixes wrong and missing characters in text parts in other languages
(platex does not support "inputenc").
Fixes compilation errors due to desynchronized encoding switches.
* Force unicodesymbols conversion for all *-platex input encodings,
* except some characters that work well in utf8.
* Use platex if document language is "japanese" and input encoding is "utf8".
* New: support also utf8 (working around false positive test in "inputenc.sty").
* Do not force the change of input encoding to "ascii".
Deny compilation with XeTeX if a document uses TeX fonts and a non-supported input encoding.
* some Japanese (platex) documents fail with inputenc "utf8-platex"
(missing characters in non-Japanese text parts), because the
Unicodechar definitions from "inputenc" are not used.
* some Japanes (platex) documents show wrong output with "auto",
because platex ignores the encoding switch for text parts
in other languages.
* Japanese Beamer documents must set default output to "pdf",
because dvipdfm(x) produces wrong output with document class "Beamer".
* update tagging/inverting rules.
* use HE8 font encoding for Hebrew in language test.
Thanks to \origin, #8643 is fixed (also in stable). Included paths are
thus correctly updated and point to the systemdir.
This only works if LyX is installed, though, since \origin is only set
on install.
* "platex" fails with "inputencoding default", if there is text in other languages.
"jis-platex" works fine, "jis-utf8" fails with German Umlauts (maybe more).
* The expert setting "inputencoding default" switches the inpute encoding
with language switches without marking this in the LaTeX source.
It is rarely required (if ever) and makes documents easy to break.
It is not required for AMS Books, Simple CV, ... (probabely a tex2lyx issue).
"utf8" and "auto" work fine.
Re-structure and rename files in a transparent way. Most template/example
names now correspond to the (verbose GUI) name of their layouts.
Note that this, most prominently, also changes [LANG/]splash.lyx to
something less insiderish, namely "Welcome.lyx".
