I'm in the process of switching my LaTeX document from pdflatex to lualatex. Similar to Frequently loaded packages: Differences between pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX I would like to know, what are typical packages loaded with LuaLaTeX and which typical pdfLaTeX packages should be removed or replaced?
The following are the main difference I found so far:
- Don't use
inputenc, but instead save your plain files in utf-8 and add the following as the first line:% !Mode:: "TeX:UTF-8". - Don't use font-packages but instead load
fontspecwith\setmainfont{FONT_NAME},\setsansfont{FONT_NAME},\setmonofont{FONT_NAME}. - In order to make
microtypework withfontspec, use the beta version ofmicrotype(At least with TeX Live 2011). See more details. hyperrefshould be loaded with the optionunicode.
What other packages do you use? What about babel and textcomp? And are there some "killer-packages" that are only working with lualatex besides fontspec?
