Hi all,
some months ago I printed the name of the current font with following code:
\starttext
The current font is: \ctxlua{tex.print(font.getfont(font.current()).fullname)}.
\stoptext
Now I get an error message:
! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: no string to print
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'print'
<main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk.
l.2 ...int(font.getfont(font.current()).fullname)}
.
?
What is the right way now?
(didn't find any news in functionref.pdf or luatexref-t.pdf)
Greetings Lutz

Not the answer, but
in the suite there is a pdf with a list :
status-lua.pdf

In order of efficiency (most efficient on top):
\starttext
\ctxlua{tex.print(fonts.hashes.properties[font.current()].fullname)}
\ctxlua{tex.print(fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].properties.fullname)}
\ctxlua{tex.print(font.getfont(font.current()).properties.fullname)}
\stoptext
the font.getfont returns the table that tex gets passed and in context
that table gets normalized, in the sense that variables are collected in
'properties' and 'parameters'
in general, don't use font.getfont() in context as in the worst case it
will rebuild a lua table at the tex
in the current beta you can run s-fnt-35.mkiv to see how this works
(this file will be renamed in a next beta)
