Hi, many context users are also luatex user, and the context standalone also contains luatex binary (windows). I input the 'luatex' in the cmd, but it can't work. The message is as follows: d:\>luatex
luatex
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.77.0-2013041621 (rev 4633)
\write18 enabled.
**\relax
I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'!kpathsea: Running mktexfmt luatex.fmtThe command name is D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mktexfmt Since there is not mktexfmt in the context standalone, is that mean I can't use plain luatex in the context standalone?

1) Create a file “luatex-plain.tex” with the following context:
\input plain
\directlua {tex.enableprimitives('', tex.extraprimitives())}
\pdfoutput=1
\everyjob \expandafter {%
\the\everyjob
\input luatex-basics\relax
\input luatex-fonts\relax
\input luatex-mplib\relax
}
\edef\fmtversion{\fmtversion+luatex}
\dump
2) Build the format:
luatex --ini luatex-plain.tex
3) Compile with:
luatex --fmt=luatex-plain.fmt somefile.tex

Marco, many thanks. By the way, how can I load the `luatex-plain.fmt` by default when typing "luatex somefile.tex"?

TeX checks for a format which is named the same as the binary. You
can create a link:
ln -s /path/to/binary/luatex luatex-plain
and then call
luatex-plain somefile.tex
and it'll use the format “luatex-plain”.

Yeah, I found that just now, so I changed "luatex-plain.fmt" to "luatex.fmt". I try to move the new "luatex.fmt" to some directory in the ConTeXt standalone, but it seems that the kpathsea can't find my "luatex.fmt". Tim

Indeed. That's probably where I got the snippet from.
@Tim: That means running
luatex --ini luatex-plain.tex
is sufficient.

I'll add this
mtxrun --script plain --make
mtxrun --script plain somefile.tex
on windows: copy context.exe to plain.exe to get a stub, after that you
can do just
plain --make
plain somefile.tex
--jit is also supported
(I will probably add some more plain support i.e. mess abit with
luatexfication of plain some day. Not that I use it myself, more for
testing issues.)

Doesn't work here:

ok. new upload ... (btw, the name database, when used, is not first
looked for in the cache, something that mtxrun --script font --reload
--simple takes care of)

Hi Hans,
Currently
mtxrun --script font --reload --simple
creates luatex-fonts-names.lua, the font list/database for Plain LuaTeX;
and
mtxrun --script font --reload
creates names.tma and names.tmc, the font list for ConTeXt.
Perhaps it makes sense if
mtxrun --script font --reload
always creates all font lists? That way users of Plain LuaTeX could
never run into 'oh damn, I forgot to create the font database' —
things would go right automatically. And the --simple flag would no
longer be needed.
Does that make sense, or am I overlooking some complexity?
Cheers,
Sietse

only that it's more complex (it makes more sense to auto generate in
