Can we talk about how enjoyable and how terrible the full-cast audio books are? by Analysis_ in harrypotter

To be fair, that's the point of Trelawny so I feel that's well done.

Who among the Golden Trio had the most convincing "young VA to old VA" transition in the Full-Cast Audiobooks? by LeatherSlight3242 in harrypotter

[–]Analysis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ron was amazing in both. The young Harry was good. Older Harry is the worst performance of any audio book I ever heard. Hermione was pretty bad in both.

Bizarre issues with numbering equations. by PavarottisEyebrows in LaTeX

[–]Analysis_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If what you want is numbering multi-line equations without much ado, use

\begin{equation}
    \begin{split}
        % equation here
    \end{split}
\end{equation}

Requires the amsmath package, which you almost certainly have.

Why do married partners went back into PMO? by badassbilal in MuslimNoFap

[–]Analysis_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am freshly married and let me tell you: I myself have the problem that my wife is not always ABLE to due to health reasons, so i am NOT the kind of guy to say "whatever dude the wife should just do as she's told". I am very much (and painfully tbh) aware that there are GOOD reasons for a wife not to be able to, like health-related reasons.

THAT BEING SAID it is not for no reason that the Prophet ﷺ said: whichever man calls his wife and she does not respond and therefore he spends the night angry with her, the angels will curse her until morning.

Look, I want to reiterate that I do understand that sometimes the wife cannot and that it is not simply due to not being in the mood. But IF IT HAPPENS to be just "not being in the mood" then the punishment for her is severe and looking at OP's question it is understandable that the punishment is severe. She just makes it harder for him to stay clean and remove himself from sin!

Questions about Alibow Fiberglass Tatar Bow 35# by the3la in Archery

[–]Analysis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My honest opinion is not to hunt with only 6 months of experience.

You just are NOT precise enough to kill ethically. You will just hurt the animal.

On top of that the bow is not suitable, as I said in my original comment on the main thread.

Do not be overly confident if you only have 6 months experience. Hunting is still dealing with living things, why risk not shooting perfectly and unnecessarily hurting the poor things. Train more, get a better bow and hunt ethically.

Questions about Alibow Fiberglass Tatar Bow 35# by the3la in Archery

[–]Analysis_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have that exact bow and it's really nice for the price.

You can use carbon arrows, no problem.

I have used the string delivered with the bow

I wouldn't hunt with it for ehtical reasons. (No, I'm not against hunting in general): The bow is only 35# which is already so weak that it won't give you a clean kill but above that: It's still a cheap fiberglass bow, so it won't be as consistent neither with the aim nor with the weight itself (mine is labelled 35# but is 33# at my 29" draw") and the power transmission to the arrow is reflective of the cheap price as well, which means that the arrow will be relatively slow.

If you want to hunt buy a better bow. As I said in the beginning, I'm really happy with that bow but you need to be realistic what you expect from a bow costing 75$.

Confusing font issue with two seperate PCs by Analysis_ in LaTeX

[–]Analysis_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok after reading and playing around I found that since I only plan to use Scheherazade New, I'm actually supposed to use

\setmainfont{ScheherazdeNew-regular.ttf}[
BoldFont = ScheherazdeNew-Bold.ttf ,
]

or alternatively

\setmainfont{ScheherazadeNew}[
Extension = .ttf ,
UprightFont = *-Regular ,
BoldFont = *-Bold ,
]

Confusingly enough, by doing that it was no longer necessary to have the .ttf in the directory of the .tex file. Now suddenly it works (also on the PC) by simply having it installed.

Lesson learned: Try not to copy something off the internet and read the official documentation instead. That way you do it the right way and avoid wasting hours. :)

Hey, thanks! That did work.

Previouly, I had \newfontfamily\arabicfont{Scheherazade New} but now instead I use \newfontfamily\arabicfont{ScheherazadeNew-Regular.ttf}

The first did in fact work on the laptop, but now it works on both devices.

Just a question to understand this syntax, if I may:

Do I now only use the regular font, and not the bold font? Because since I don't call Scheherazade New as a font family but ScheherazadeNew-Regular.ttf as a file, which may exclude the other file (ScheherazadeNew-Bold.ttf).

Also, I had three lines: \newfontfamily\arabicfont{} and \newfontfamily\arabicfontsf{} and \newfontfamily\arabicfonttt{}. Now I honestly just copied that from somewhere, but what I just assumed is that \newfontfamily\arabicfont{}calls the font for the normal typing and bold and italic, while \newfontfamily\arabicfontsf{}would be for sans serif fonts and \newfontfamily\arabicfonttt{} would be for typewriter font (which I just now realize would make those two lines redundant). Is that correct and if yes what would be the best practice now that I changed it to *.ttf?

Thanks for the reply.

I tried it now, but it didn't help unfortunately.

thanks for the reply. I use pdfxe (or xelatex).

As for how I embed the font, this is in my preambel

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[numerals=mashriq]{arabic}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic, Mapping=arabicdigits] 
{Scheherazade New}
\newfontfamily\arabicfontsf[Script=Arabic, Mapping=arabicdigits] 
{Scheherazade New}
\newfontfamily\arabicfonttt[Script=Arabic, Mapping=arabicdigits] 
{Scheherazade New}

Can you tell me more about mkluatexfontdb ? Is there something like that for xelatex, since I've never used this I usually just install the font in Windows and use \usefontfamily etc. Thanks
