I'm the one, but for Windows XP at the moment. Then I will add Vista fonts. IMHO, the previous versions of Windows are not worth to consider.

I can provide typescripts for the new Vista Cxxx fonts.

In a way. Luatex runs piggyback on the context garden distribution.

   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Supported_platforms

(although that page may be a little bit outdated)

Also, once a year we sync with texlive (that adds the somewhat
outlandish AIX and hpux, as well as OpenBSD on i386).

Best wishes,
Taco

BTW, how the multiplatformity is handled now?

Is there a "regular multiplatform build farm"?

Do developers use remote access to computers with platforms
they do not have at home (if no - due to lack of hardware or interest)?

And what are the platforms blessed to be owned by developers?

                       Sincerely, Michail

I thought this because you mentioned it in the announcement for 0.31.0
(as point on your todo list).

That would be nice, but I am not sure I will get around to implementing
it (besides time constraints, it is never easy to develop for a platform
one doesn't actually have). It would be nice if there was a volunteer

Best wishes,
Taco

That's not a reason why we can't ship typescript files for Windows
and Mac. We still have type-msw with typescripts for Verdana and
Arial and type-xtx with typescripts for the Mac (a lot of them
for XeTeX only).

I think it makes sense to provide two new files type-win for fonts
included in Windows Vista and type-mac for Mac OS (are .dfont fonts
working in LuaTeX 0.40).

IIRC, every Windows platform ships with a slightly different list.

There are the 12 basic TimesNewRoman, Arial and Courier fonts, but
not all versions of those fonts have the same glyph repertoire.

For Hans, this would be a useful addition to mtx-fonts:

  mtxrun --script=fonts --list --tree=\$OSFONTDIR


Best wishes,
Taco

font-win.tex

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Is there a script which can be called font-win.tex, which describes all 
OS-shipped fonts on Windows platform? If not, why? :o)

Best,
Vyatcheslav
