If I copy the fonts I need into ~/Library/Fonts/, the latest beta is able to produce the PDF without the aforementioned Luatex error. 

However, there still seems to be some type of OTF-related error: certain glyphs are being replaced with others. This is particularly true for diacritics, but not exclusively — all caps are also facing similar problems. I have attached some screen clippings to demonstrate.

If I revert back to an earlier beta (as of September 2015) it does do not cause this problem.

I am having the same problem as the OP. I have manually edited the font-otr.lua file as per the patch below, and I deleted the font cache. But all to no avail. I still get:

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

Is there a solution to this?

Many thanks,
Talal

The problem persisted with Courier New, not only Source Sans Pro (SSP).

The font file for Source Sans Pro came directly from the Google's font service.

The SSP (on my machine) works fine in Inkscape.

The exact same font was also working before the ConTeXt upgrade.

Confirmed, it appears to work if you revert to the old loader in
font-lib.mkvi.

i need a better example of what fails then as it works here


The problem seems to be the “filename” field being written to the
cache from the wrong source. Between the old and the new
fontloader, you get the following picture in the “resources”
record:

   +  ["filename"]="Everson_Mono_Bold.ttf",
   -  ["filename"]="/tmp/here-be-fonts/Everson_Mono_Bold.ttf",

The attached patch fixes it for me.
