Different luatex binary

Different luatex binary

[Mehdi Omidali]

Hi,
I have installed the context minimal on windows and have seen a
strange thing. The luatex binay in the minimal directory is only 2.5
kb but the one in the foundry.supelec.fr  is 2.64 Mb zipped. Also I am
not able to compile my files which I could compile them 2 month ago.
The end of my log file is

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!luaTeX error (file C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/XB Kayhan.ttf): can't find table `CFF '
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The source file is huge but I can send it if it is necessary.
Thanks

The luatex binary in supelec (single file) is compiled by Taco on
GNU/Linux using the MinGW.
the one shipped by minimals is different (luatex.exe relies on
luatex.dll). This one is compiled by w32tex maintainer, Akira, using
MSVC.
So they are different.

- If memory serves, mkiv does not support space in the path.
- TTF does not contain the CFF table. Only Postscript OpenType fonts do.

But there is a huge luatex.dll.

What version of luatex is in the repository and what version of
ConTeXt are you using?

I had an impression that the luatex version is the stable one, but
there's currently a bit of a problem since official context beta
requires the latest luatex from svn trunk and that version doesn't
work with "current" context. I need to fix that somehow. Does at least
a hello-world program work?

You might need to wait for Hans and Taco to come back and fix the
problem. One thing that you can try is to take the latest version of
luatex from w32tex
(ftp://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/TeX/win32/luatex-dev-w32.tar.bz2)
and try the --context=alpha just to see if it works any better, but
the latest version of ConTeXt might suffer from a few other problems.
