That would be fine. There are quite often on various lists questions about how to "correct" a font, e.g. adjust kerning, or add a missing glyph etc and a interface for "virtual lua fonts" would make such corrections much easier. The example in the documentation uses as base font cmr10 and loads it with f = font.read_tfm('cmr10',size). How should one load the real font when it is an otf? > However, when I've done > that Khaled has to make sure that it also works in his wrapper code as I > don't know to what extend he overloads code.

If you adapt the context files I can make some tests by exchanging the luaotfload files and tell Khaled the results. -- Ulrike Fischer ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
