Hi,

I changed line 10066 in mtxrun.lua to

     templates[i]="%-"..w.."s"..between

from 

     templates[i]=“% "..w..”i"..between

and that fixed it.

The problem here is that the “big" results contain both ttc fonts (with subfont ids, which are numbers) and non-ttc fonts (with empty subfont ids, and those are strings).
This means the output template gets confused about whether it should use “%s” or “%i” as format string.

This is what happens if there are no matches, apparently.


Best wishes,
Taco
