[Linux] font name database

[Linux] font name database

[Alan Stone]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the list of currently known fonts through

mtxrun --script fonts --list

under SciTE/Ubuntu and get the following message

...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-syn.lua:278: attempt
to index field 'data' (a nil value)

What's that ?

probably a failure to either save or load the database; could be 
anything; is there a names.tma in the cache?

i'll add an error message

should be in the cache path, for instance on my machine ...

  Directory of 
c:\temp\luatex-cache\context\3addaf6083634dad22ef3141c83e8289\fonts\data

17-09-2008  15:31    <DIR>          .
17-09-2008  15:31    <DIR>          ..
17-09-2008  15:31           241.315 names.tma
17-09-2008  15:31           268.061 names.tmc

you can locate the cach epath woth

luatools --verbose --generate

Did luatools --verbose --generate, then searched for *.tma, then names
in /opt/context and the only one found was contextnames.txt

Then ran mtxrun --script fonts --list again and now there's names.tma
and names.tmc.

Thanks.

Re: [Linux] font name database

[Alan Stone]

I copied some Windows ttf fonts to

/opt/context/tex/texmf/fonts/truetype

then did

context --generate
context --make
mtxrun --script fonts --list

and the ttf fonts don't appear in the fonts db list.

What's missing ?

By the way, what's the difference between...

- context --generate      generate file database etc.
- luatools --generate     generate file database
