more bad news about latest beta

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

OK, I have more bad (for me) news about the latest beta: it simply  
refuses to play with some of my fonts; most importantly for me with  
the Gentium fonts. Whenever I try to compile something with Gentium in  
it, I get the error message

!luaTeX error (file /Users/tas/Library/Fonts/GenAR102.ttf): Invalid  
glyph index (gid 1699)
  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
MtxRun | fatal error, code: 70

I have now compared the latest beta and an older one, and I think the  
culprit is this line:

load otf | featurefile: /Users/tas/texmf/fonts/fea/context/greek- 
babel.fea

luatex then goes on to create

luatex-cache/context/408a90c432ceda2c1e4a80ad5d0e5350/fonts/otf/GenAR102@greek-babel.tma
luatex-cache/context/408a90c432ceda2c1e4a80ad5d0e5350/fonts/otf/GenAR102@greek-babel.tmc

The thing is, I know that Gentium doesn't work with this fea file;  
that's why I wrote one specifically for this font. Gentium is nowhere  
connected to this fea file. When I use an older version, this fea file  
is not used and GenAR102@greek-babel.tma is not created. The newer  
version creates it, and I have no clue why...

Very puzzled

Thomas

Sorry, I should have warned you guys. This is a bug in 0.30.0,
there will be a 0.30.1 later today.

Best wishes,
Taco

Then again, on re-reading, maybe this is a different problem, maybe
related to the mkiv code itself. So, let's just say that on my side
of things there is *a* bug relating to fonts that may or may not
be the cause of this issue.
