LuaTeX error after update to ubuntu 12.04

LuaTeX error after update to ubuntu 12.04

[S Barmeier]

After updating to ubuntu 12.04, my shouts of joy were smothered by the
following

!LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading ()
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 70

I ran mtxrun --script fonts --reload, updated to the latest context
version, ran luatools --generate and context --make and still am
presented with the above error message after 10-15 minutes of paralysing
processing.

The compiling seems to run as always, until it reaches the last page, at
which point the computer freezes and takes about 10 minutes to present
me with the error. The following is another snapshot of the output which
I noticed for the first time:

system          > logs > lua: compiling
/home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/fonts/otf/andika-r.tma
into
/home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/fonts/otf/andika-r.tmc
										fonts           > otf loading > preprocessing and caching took
73.009 seconds

Any ideas where to start?

Many thanks,
Severin

Fuuuuuuck...and here I was planning on upgrading tomorrow morning.

This usually indicates that ConTeXt is a passing a file name to the
backend that does not exist on the disk, usually because the cache is
outdated.

Since all of this does not work, I'd delete the cache completely and try
again (the /home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/*).

Deleting the cache worked, thank you! The first run on my book
successfully compiled after 7 mins., subsequent ones now take 15
seconds (which used to be a stable 25 sec before the upgrade).

In ubuntu 12.04 all font packages are renamed to fonts-*, rather than
ttf-* or otf-* etc.

I thought that running mtxrun --script fonts --reload would fix lookup
problems, but it seems that you might want to clear the cache completely.

Still, esp. with the added speed benefit, there is no reason to hold
back the upgrade (from my point of view).

Thanks,
Severin

Most, but not all. ttf-ubuntu-font-family and ttf-ubuntu-title appear to be among some of the exceptions.

The renaming is done slowly by Debian (a new font packages naming
policy), but anyway Ubuntu family of fonts is not in Debian (the license
is not considered free enough for Debian), and it seems Ubuntu is not
adopting the new policy yet.
