Subject: 12.1.1; wrong preview position for four-byte utf-8 encoded character
 (xelatex)
Date: Thu, 02 Aug 2018 02:42:08 +0200

The attached log is generated by previewing the following document with xelatex:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

Test: $𝒞$

\end{document}

The unicode character in math mode after "Test: " is U+1D49E.
The preview range for the snippet is completely wrong and includes the
entire line before the snipped. It appears that there are some encoding
problems because the log file refers to a unicode character U+D49E,
which is the lowest 16 bits of the original character's codepoint.

This already does not compile correctly with xelatex:

Missing character: There is no 𝒞 in font cmmi10!

I obtain partial success with

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\begin{document}

Test: $𝒞$

\end{document}
% Local variables:
% TeX-engine: xetex
% End:

On generating preview (turning preamble caching off, as xelatex is not compatible with preamble caching and OpenType fonts) I see the attached image.

Further the log contains indication something went wrong indeed

I am doing this with a 12.1+ incorporating recent fixes related to TeXLive 2018 and accented characters in filenames.

Maybe you should bother to mention what you consider "indication
something went wrong indeed".  preview-latex produces error messages on
purpose.  That's the only way to get to the right column.

The problem here is that the character in the error message appears to
be a different character from what is in the source file, so
preview-latex isn't able to correlate it with the source.

No.  I am explaining what the log file content means.  There is nothing
in your posting suggesting that this was what you were trying to convey
and I do not consider it likely that a majority of readers of this
report would have been able to properly see the problem.

> Have a nice summer

Does that mean that I should refrain from answers on this list in the
next few months or that you chose to put me into your kill file?  If you
expect others to read between the lines, those would be the two most
obvious interpretations of that line.

Just stating what one wants to say tends to make particularly electronic
communication less troublesome for everybody involved since the usual
cues in face-to-face communication are not available.

All the best,

The extract from the log file is as in OP's initial post and
the fact that the displayed character is wrong was already
pointed out there, with even the precision that its codepoint #xd49e
was like original character except for missing 1 most significative byte.

It meant I intended to refrain from participating to this list which
appears somewhat hostile.  But anyway I am off-line from Internet
for most of the summer so this was easily said by me somewhat too
quickly possibly.

The very same document with lualatex in place of xelatex seems
to not experience the same problem, so there might be something
specific to xelatex tokenization of UTF-8 and how it interferes
with the preview-latex hack into $.

I am incompetent for any other remark,

Best,

Run xetex on it from Emacs buffer, the log file is

There is a problem here with xetex error logs.

I guess that's the best bet.  preview-latex has special code to deal
with 8-bit engines putting line breaks in the middle of multibyte
characters or ^^-quoting only some of them.

It would likely be possible to teach it to also deal with the
XeTeX-specific current situation, but it would likely end up being a
nightmare to maintain.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

That said, it looks like a "wontfix".  Therefore, I'm closing this
report.
