Thank you (author here). I deliberately used the default settings. Typst mentions settings for the line breaking system in the manual (for example you can set the penalties for cha…

Correct, I rarely submit something, I wasn't aware that I don't have to fill in all fields.

I benchmark six different typesetting systems, typst ist by far the fastest. This article describes why the speedata Publisher is still my choice for producing product catalogs.

LuaHBTeX support has improved in the current version (next year's TeX-live), for example support for subsetting fonts.

I use the standard binary from TeX-live and use the integrated harfbuzz loader, which works like a charm. The downloadable ZIP is ready to run and does not need any additional libr…

(Author of speedata Publisher here) Just a small note: the speedata Publisher ships with a LuaTeX, so you don't need it pre-installed.

This is what I do I have ca. 190 test cases on which I run my software and compare the md5 sums of the resulting PDF. If they are not the same, I create a PNG for every page and co…

In which sense “better output quality”?

I have a related feeling about TeX. It has superb output quality but the programming is awful. When LuaTeX finally arrived a few years ago, it was possible to do almost everything …

Did you try to enforce the AGPL somehow? In the sense that the user that puts it on a (web)server must provide the end user the source code? (The 'A' in AGPL).

https://openclipart.org is (somewhat) back. I think this was better browsable and searchable in the past. At least there is some contents available. These pages are really valuable…

There is osxcross: https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross

I have written a QR encoder in Lua and documented it a bit. Perhaps this goes into the direction? http://speedata.github.io/luaqrcode/docs/qrencode.html

I started with a closed source software but I opened it shortly after. So I didn't start with this in my mind, but since I love open source software, I had the feeling that I shoul…

I give away my database publishing software ( https://www.speedata.de/ ) for free and make a living with offering services (helping companies producing high quality product catalog…

Changelog to 3.0.1 here: https://www.w3.org/publishing/epub32/epub-changes.html

No official support for Mac yet... Interesting anyways, thanks

Data files and source code. Sure I have considered using line wrap, but I don't like it.

Yes, I've had an exchange with the author about this, and he said, it might be possible to tweak this, but his is buried in some obsucure configuration.

I really like Lua and hacking things in Lua, so this editor looks like its what I need. But there is one show stopper, that I have no idea how to avoid: scrolling horizontally on m…

But it should be possible to a) use a prepaid credit card or b) pay with good old cash. That way it is still possible to buy without getting tracked (while all the others that don'…

Not many comments about privacy. This is how I see it: You are identified when you enter the shop and amazon knows exactly the products you buy. If you have the choice to buy or no…
