Thanks Nicola

Export to PDF directly from TeXmacs ( comment #4) solved the printing issue

However, Autosave was on by default. I didn’t change that and it actually “rescued” me several (many) times

It crashes a lot regardless of having or not having images. Crashes are less frequent with documents not having imported figures. I wish it was once in two hours, it may be once every several minutes. I work with two mac computers (my macbook pro, and a mac pro workstation). Both behave the same with TeXmacs

I have parallels, I’ll give Linux a try. However, I do not like the idea of using Linux just for writing a document. This is why I moved to Apple computers (not using M$, nor Linux).

Using the debug mode shows numerous error messages. The first one is

TeXmacs[16298:507679] Can’t open input server /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader

I do not know if this is related to something, since I have read and execute permissions to that path

other (numerous) errors are related to fonts and appear on the shell whenever I click on any key.

An “Error messages” windows pops up with categories std and warning messages of the form

“Warning:  resynchronizing for path [ 0, 0, 1 ]” for each key

There are 6 such messages for each key press that appear also on the shell, and then 

TeXmacs] debug-fonts, Try tfm ectt10.tfm

TeXmacs] debug-fonts, Try tfm cmr10.tfm

The last number in the message 

“Warning:  resynchronizing for path [ 0, 0, 1 ]”

increases by 1 each key press 

So I believe this is a font issue….

I hope that one of the developers that really knows what happens there will be able to comment

sincerely

Hi,

I've started with Texmacs a couple of months before you

so maybe i can give you some suggestions;)

0) I'm working mostly with Linux (in a virtual machine)

but sometimes is also use Texmacs in OSX.

(when i'm too lazy to run the VM;))

1) Crashes. It is true, the programs crashes, i loose control

usually 1 times every of 2 hour of work, or less. But, it is a great program

so i will not give up, I have the same experience with

PDFAnnotator on the Surface3.

2) Images. Don't load PDF files, always convert to PNG.

... or you will have 100% cpu and program stuck.

3) autosave. I remember i tried to remove AutoSave at

the beginning. don't do that, keep autosave on, or you will
see other unexplicables 100% load & crashes.

4) print. in OSX i never changed font, i'm using default

stuff, out of the box. To print, i export to PDF and then print

the pdf, it works well.

bye

Nicola

Unfortunately I encounter different issues with the fonts - not a crash but non printable fonts…

Also, could this font problem be related to http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?43704 ?

Hi,

Have you tried to run texmacs with the --debug option in the console?

You might get information on the crashes and maybe the fonts.

The font problem is that characters written with TeXMacs fonts are not printable. If I force them to be Times Roman or any other font which is on the font book they become printable

It seems that TeXMacs dos not embed the fonts in the .ps file so they are not transferred to the printed and thus printed as “Gibberish”

I hope someone in the community will be able to help.

Are you using the latest version, or at least a recent version?

Hi,
I’m new to TeXMacs - a wonderful tool, really. After years of LaTeX and LyX it is really refreshing
However I encounter several problems
1. Multiple crashes - so many times so it becomes almost impossible to work with. Heavy imported images - crash, triple mouse clisk - crash, etc.
2. Hangs (lovelocks???)- sometimes TeXMacs consumes 100% cpu for no apparent reason. Checking  the disk activity point only on CPU activity (no I/O is involved)
3. Fonts - I cannot print when TeXMacs font are used.
I’m using the latest stable build.
I wonder if I could get some help on these issues
best
