| Mar 23, 2020 at 22:41 | comment | added | Henri Menke | @Hashim That particular problem seems to have been fixed, but fontdimens for math fonts in XeTeX are still incorrect, so math typesetting with XeTeX remains broken. sourceforge.net/p/xetex/bugs/87 | |
| Mar 23, 2020 at 22:29 | comment | added | Hashim Aziz | @HenriMenke For completeness, that bug was fixed a few months later. | |

| Aug 23, 2015 at 3:05 | comment | added | Arthur Reutenauer | @MartinScharrer NTS was completed for all I know. It was just judged unusable because hundreds of times slower than the original implementation of TeX. What was then abandoned was plans to extend it with additional features. | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 6:46 | comment | added | Martin Scharrer | @HonzaPokorny: No there is not. LaTeX is a TeX format and simply needs TeX. There was once a project to implement TeX (not LaTeX) with Java but AFAIK it got never finished. | |
| Jan 17, 2012 at 18:10 | comment | added | Honza Pokorny | Is there a complete implementation of LaTex in a more user-friendly language? E.g. Python, Javascript, etc? Thanks | |
| Sep 28, 2011 at 12:12 | comment | added | Martin Schröder | @CharlesStewart: With LuaLaTeX they also just work. Same with ConTeXt MkIV. | |

@Seamus: The inputenc package unfortunately is very incomplete and in some circumstances it doesn’t work at all (e.g. in combination with fancyvrb, since their verbatim parsing somehow disables UTF-8 character code parsing).

@ajray if it's just unicode characters you want, wouldn't \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} work?

| Jul 26, 2010 at 19:40 | comment | added | machinaut | I love XeTeX just because I can add unicode characters in my editor, instead of having to /command all of them. | |
