Dear Group,
Thank you for your time. I'm starting out with TeX/ConTeXt, but
want to arrive via LuaTeX (`luatex-plain.tex/fmt`). Managed to
build, move and use `luatex-plain`. Have the same problem under
MacOSX & Win7 (here is the Win-specific decription -- `%CTX%` is
my ConTeXt root):
Placed some fonts under `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\minion\` &
`%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\myriad`. Executed, the following
commands, recognising there might be redundancy, but not sure):
mtxrun --script fonts --update --force
mtxrun --script fonts --update --simple
mtxrun --script fonts --update
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=minion
Result:
minionpro minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf
minionprobold minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf
minionproboldit minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
minionprobolditalic minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
minionproit minionproit MinionPro-It.otf
minionproitalic minionproit MinionPro-It.otf
minionpronormal minionproit MinionPro-It.otf
minionproregular minionproregular MinionPro-Regular.otf
`hello.tex` - luatex-plain test file:
%[luatex-plain] Hello
%
font\T =minionproregular at 12pt\T
Hello world.
\bye
Executed:
luatex-plain hello.tex
Result:
fonts : font with asked name 'minionproregular'
is not found using lookup 'name'
fonts : unknown font 'minionproregular', loading aborted
! Font \ch=minionproregular at 12pt not loadable:
metric data not found or bad.
Looked in `%CTX%\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\generic\fonts\data`
at the file `luatex-font-names.lua`. The fonts were listed. Then
deleted the `luatex-font-names.luc` file, added the full paths
to the fonts in front of all the file names in the `.lua` file.
Running `luatex-plain hello.tex` again, works now as expected (it
seems to recreate the `luatex-font-names.luc` automatically).
Setting `OSFONTDIR` before font update and/or before running
`luatex-plain`, have no observable effect.
So, I do have a manual fix/solution. But is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance,
