Hi Mojca,

I'm willing to test luatex 0.44 binary on Windows ;) It has SyncTex support.

Regards,
Vyatcheslav

I wasn't asking about testing Windows binaries, though it could be
that the binary in minimals is already at 0.44 (if not yet, then it
will be very soon or I can force an update; the w32tex page is already
updated).

I only need some Mac Tiger tester.

That seems to have solved it. I see letters again! My quality of life  
just went up measurably. Thank you very much!

For the record, I used the simple method Wolfgang pointed to:  
restarting in "Safe Mode" then restarting again in normal mode.

It's extremely easy with no software or mucking around in unusual  
directories.

Specifically, I followed these instructions:

I seem to have spoken too soon. The very next document I prepared had  
the same boxes-rather-than-letters problem.

That said, I cleared the font caches again and, after restarting, the  
document looked correct. Perhaps this is a coincidence. Or perhaps  
there is something amiss with the way my computers are caching fonts.  
Sigh.

Well, if your engine is pdftex (from an unpatched TeXLive 2008) then  
chances are you're running into the nasty (TM) font cache bug:

Thanks, Mojca, it is 0.44 already indeed!

Now we can use SyncTex option by adding \synctex=1 to the preamble.

I wanted to manually push the changes, but the windows binary is at
0.44 already.

I'm also committing the mac i386 binary (it might take a while before
some downloading/uploading is done) in the best hope that it will work
properly.

The binary in minimals is NOT already at 0.44 (as I checked today). 
Looking forward to have 0.44 version because I want to try synctex support.

Sorry, I guess that I need to repeat the exercise. Can you please try just if
    http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/hello
works. Luatex most probably won't work ... and I need to figure out
how to modify the building scripts. Apparently 10.6 compiles all the
binaries for 64-bit architecture by default despite the fact that it
claims to be i386.

Luatex building scripts would need to be modified, pdftex doesn't
cross-compile at all.

No, I just wanted to know if the binary works at all. I wanted to send
you the binary off-list first, but here it is instead:
    http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/luatex
once you download it you need to execute
    chmod +x luatex
    ./luatex

All I want to know is if it works on Tiger, no extensive testing is needed.
