Hi Wolfgang,

Thank you for your attention. However this is exactly what I did.

I couldn't find the font you are mentioning: since I am on a Mac  
running Mac OS X 10.5.3, I am not sure whether the links there allows  
me to install such fonts.

Also I think that the issue is related to LuaTeX, or at least to my  
installation of LuaTeX…, and so probably the issue is not related to  
the font, since XeTeX and XeConTeXt both typeset correctly the same  
text.

Best regards: OK
