Hi all,
while getting context/luatex to work, I experiment with fonts.
I play with DejaVu fonts. I found that when I use DejaVuSerif.ttf I get
what I want, but when I use DejaVuSans.ttf context produces nothing.
It seems to process document without any error message and gives no
pdf.
I made some investigation and I guess it has something to do with file
size of the font (DejaVuSerif.ttf-242KB, DejaVuSans.ttf-557KB).
Result is the same for fonts from collection with similar size.
Conversions with fontforge do not help.
Is there any limit for size of font?
Any other possible reason why?
Thanks for suggestions.
ZS

no.
Can you write down your steps for installation, so I can reproduce the
problem on my box?

1) mkdir /usr/local/context && cp justtex.zip linuxtex.zip /usr/local/context
2) cd /usr/local/context && unzip justtex.zip && unzip linuxtex.zip
3) add line to "setuptex" (TMP=~./context_tmp)
4) cd ./tex && sh setuptex
5) set PATH variable to have this on first place: /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin
6) mktexlsr&& luatools --generate && texmfstart texexec --make --all --luatex
7) export TEXMFCACHE='/tmp' && export TEXMFCNF='/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' && export
TEXMF='{/usr/local/context/tex/texmf,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-fonts,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-extra}'
8) copy latin modern fonts from lm.zip to /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/fonts/
9) luatools --generate && luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en

Before processing above source, copy font files from dejavu collection
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dejavu/dejavu-ttf-2.19.tar.bz2?download)
cp

mktexlsr && luatools --generate
texmfstart texexec --luatex experiment.tex
... works fine
This doesn't work:
cp DejaVuSans.ttf /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/public/dejavu/djvb.ttf
Change font name in experiment.tex from djva to djvb.
mktexlsr && luatools --generate
texmfstart texexec --luatex experiment.tex
... gives nothing - no error, no pdf

You mean some fonts are somewhat bad or luatex can't handle them?

luatex cannot load them (or even crashes) i.e. the fontforge 2 reader
cannot read them; maybe the fonts are invalid
