TeX - LaTeX Asked by MandaloreUltimate on August 28, 2020
I need to shift document written in pdfLaTeX to XeLaTex and I would like to keep the way it looks intact, however, I can’t figure out how to emulate the default pdfLaTeX Computer Modern cyrillic font. As I understand, XeLaTeX only supports CMU, but it looks notably different, as shown by MWEs below, and it really annoys me. Is it just a problem with the counterpart font and there is no workaround?
pdfLaTeX:
documentclass[oneside,final,14pt]{extreport}
usepackage{cmap}
usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[english, russian]{babel}
begin{document}
chapter{Глава}
section{Секция}
Текст.
end{document}
XeLaTeX:
documentclass[oneside,final,14pt]{extreport}
usepackage{fontspec}
usepackage{polyglossia}
setdefaultlanguage{russian}
setotherlanguage{english}
setmainfont{CMU Serif}
setsansfont{CMU Sans Serif}
setmonofont{CMU Typewriter Text}

Well, not a best solution because there are lot of work around, but maybe someone will find it useful:
(1) In folder texmfsinstallfontstype1publiccm-super
there are .pfb
fonts that are used when you compile with pdfLaTeX
.
(2) Convert them in .otf
format using FortForge or some other application. (For the best results copy and extract .afm
files from texmfsinstallfontsafmpubliccm-super
into same folder where the .pfb
files are). For this example I used only upright sfrm*.pfb
and bold sfbx*.pfb
fonts. Now I have fonts SFRM0500.otf
, SFRM0600.otf
... etc.
(3) If generated .otf
fonts are in the same folder where your .tex
file is, use the next code:
documentclass[oneside,final,14pt]{extreport}
usepackage{fontspec}
usepackage{polyglossia}
setdefaultlanguage{russian}
setotherlanguage{english}
setmainfont[%
Extension = {.otf},

Of course, one will have to create all fonts (italic, smallcaps,...) for the best solution. I've used just upright and bold to show how this can be done. Result:
(4) However, I would not recommend this solution, because it use a lot of resources, plus the generated .otf
fonts on this way will miss a lot of features; probably there is an easier way. Maybe someday someone create a font package similar to the Latin Modern that will have a Cyrillic letters in different optical sizes.

Nothing useful (yet), so apologies, but I was thinking:
(1) There must be a legacy font file that could be called into play. pdflatex's log listed a stack of metafont files being created, but I couldn't work out the NFSS name. I tried cgr
bold (via a Google suggestion), but that got converted to gab10
and then scaled up to 14.4pt.
There's a `larm1440' (from the log flood), but then that exposes a second matter.
(2) Encoding. In T2A encoding, Cyrillic small A is in slot 224 (which is Latin à in Unicode):
so some sort of mapping/wrapping will be needed if T2A encoding and Unicode encoding texts are intertwined together like threads in a tapestry.
Legacy installations could compile legacy documents, I suppose. A modern installation would need an insulating layer of code (or environment bubbles) to quarantine the encodings, I would expect.
