in most cases it's the same as on the website (the ftp is low bandwidth 
so only used by a few)

indeed, has to do with the fact that (since we use the xetex syntax 
there) we default to name lookups and those are tagged as afm while 
luatex-fonts does not have that code (does not make sense)

you can try the attached file (probably enough, else i have to send more)

as we're in transition to luatex 0.38 i cannot post a zip today (some 
fundamental math changes)

Hans

ps. keep in mind that the real advanced stuff with respect to fonts is 
context only although node mode should work ok in luatex-fonts (add 
mode=yes to the specification)
