Subject: Two questions about use of system ttf fonts
Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:08:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r6evztpb.fsf@indiscrete.org> (raw)

Hi,

I am trying to use truetype fonts with mkiv.

When loading a font given a full path name like
this:

\font\test=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf at 12pt
   
the log shows 

 report >> load otf: loading: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont//FreeSans.ttf
 report >> load otf: enhance: before
 report >> load otf: enhance: enrich
 report >> load otf: enhance: registering tlig feature
 report >> load otf: enhance: registering trep feature
 report >> load otf: enhance: flatten

 report >> load otf: flattening 'gsub' tables
 report >> load otf: enhance: analyze
 report >> load otf: enhance: after
 report >> load otf: replacing 'kerns' tables by 'mykerns' tables

  )
 !luaTeX error (file FreeSans.ttf): cannot open OpenType font file for reading
  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!


How can I tell what's wrong?



Defining

\font\test=FreeSans.ttf at 12pt

results in 

 error >> define font: font with name FreeSans is not found
 error >> define font: name: FreeSans, loading aborted
 ! Font \test=FreeSans at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.

while using this construction with luatex's plain format seems to work
(I assume some definition to register the font).

What does context need to find the font?

Thanks,  Eythan
