Re: [Tei-council] PDF build with Japanese

Hi Martin, As Peter mentions, there may be other issues with the PDF build, but I *think* what's going on is that the GLs building processes are trying to italicise fonts (Noto CJK fonts) that don't have an Italic form. I guess that's not a thing—I wasn't aware of it. Trying to troubleshoot a bit... Hugh On Mon, Feb 8, 2021 at 11:05 AM Martin Holmes wrote:

Hi Peter,

Thanks for testing. I've just been hacking away with alternative places to put the xml:lang attribute, and finally hit on a setup that makes the PDF.

But the build still fails. :-( I can't see why -- I get a "working" PDF. (By which I mean it's complete with all pages, although as has been the case for years, stuff is broken all over the place.)

I can't figure out why the xelatex build is returning an error when it finishes OK. There are myriad warnings throughout the tex log, but they're all normal as far as I can see. What's happening, do you think?

The PDF output is messed up in all sorts of ways, and I can't believe anyone is using it seriously; could we consider dropping it in favour of paying more attention to the ePubs?

Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,

I was just having a look but it seems you were quicker :) Only thing left for me is to confirm that it now (with your latest commit 5ea4d84) builds for me locally, too.

Best Peter

Hi all,

The ruby stuff is now merged into the repo, and I've spent a good few hours now trying to get the PDF to build properly. It dies with this error:

! LaTeX3 Error: The key 'fontspec-opentype/...' is unknown and is being (LaTeX3) ignored.

which is something to do with xml:lang='ja' appearing in the source. At one point I got it to build, but without the Japanese language attributes,
