Subject: Font selection in LuaTeX

Dear all,
As a heavy Plain TeX user I wish to experiment with LuaTeX. I know
this is slightly off-topic to this list, but I see several questions
related to LuaTeX user problems here.
In message http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/026365.html
Hans Hagen stated that one could also define fonts using a more
XeTeX-like syntax like:
\font=\test=name:ACaslonPro-Regular:liga=yes;
or
\font=\test=name:ACaslonPro-Regular*default
As I don't use ConTeXt I wanted to give this approach a try (and I
assume the =-signs after "\font" are Hans's mistakes, I guess). So I
put ACaslonPro-Regular.otf in my
/opt/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype directory, did a rehash so the
font could be found and tried a test file. Unfortunately, LuaTeX
complained it could not find the font metrics. Maybe I need to make an
entry in a map file somewhere? I looked through this list, Google,
etc., but couldn't find where. Also, the syntax
file:ACaslonPro-Regular.otf didn't work. pdfTeX etc. can find font
files there, so that should not be the problem.
By the way, I tried this using LuaTeX beta-0.11.2 on a Linux system
and TeXLive 2007. I know I can use XeTeX, but XeTeX doesn't support
character protrusion and several pdfTeX-specific commands, which I
really like to use.
I hope someone can clarify this to me. Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Marcel Korpel
