luatex and typescripts/fonts

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Hi guys,

I missed some of the excitement of the last two weeks because I was  
away. I tested the latest versions of ConTeXt and luatex and have  
some problems:

1. Is there a simple switch to between luatex and pdftex? If I want  
to write typescripts with the new name: syntax, I'd like to have the  
old typsecripts as well to remain compatible. So: is there something  
like a simple switch \ifluatex?

2. I tested with a number of OpenType fonts from my Adobe Type  
Classics CD: ConTeXt Mkiv can address these fonts (which is  
wonderful), but it does not read the kerning information. I don't  
know whether this is because Adobe's kerning tables are so big  
(kerning appears to work with the TeXGyre fonts and Latin Modern) or  
because the Adobe fonts have these tables included in a somewhat  
different way.

Will be back with lots of more question re. Greek soon!

All best

Thomas
