Luatex startup difficulties

Luatex startup difficulties

[Willi Egger]

Hi,

It has taken quite some time. ... now I would like to get started  
with Luatex.

I have installed justtex, upgraded context to the latest version,  
upgraded the binaries to the latest version (Version  
snapshot-0.20.2-2007121720 (Web2C 7.5.6)).

     luatools --generate
     texexec --lua --make --all
     texexec --make --all

My testfile is:

\enableregime[utf]

\starttext
    There is text.
\stoptext

ConTeXt  ver: 2007.12.26 20:00 MKIV  fmt: 2007.12.26  int: english/ 
english
...
This went wrong: ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/font- 
otf.lua:1759: table index is nil
.

Humble, my stupid question is: what is wrong here?

looks like a mismatch between binaries and mkiv

same problem here. Perhaps I forgot to check in something? The
bad line was a d.unicode, I changed it into this.

            if d.name then
                 if d.unicode then
                    characters[d.unicode] = { description = d }
                 else
                    characters[d.unicodeenc] = { description = d }
                 end
             end

and now all is fine. The odd thing is I thought I had changed that
already.

Re: Luatex startup difficulties

Hi,

Thanks for this patch!

After replacing the line with you patch I tried to run the file  
again. - Error remained. - May be I should remake the formats.

Now I get the following eror during regeneration of the formats:

! LuaTeX error ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/font- 
def.lua:436: attempt to index field 'otf' (a nil value).
\mkdefinefontfeature ...preset_context("#1","#2")}

l.3539   [liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes]
                                                %  
texligatures=yes,texquotes=yes

Again, I am at a loss.

Willi

Perhaps just junk in the cache, caused by the earlier problems.
Try deleting the fonts/* subpath of the luatex-cache?

(the cache path can be deduced from the LuaTools messages)

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Taco,

strange, even after deleting the complete cache and regenerating it  
with luatools --generate again, the error remains.

Hi Hans and Taco,

Luatex --version reveals:

This is build 915, created on 20071128T092554Z
Compiled with libpng 1.2.15; using libpng 1.2.15
Compiled with zlib 1.2.3; using zlib 1.2.3
Compiled with xpdf version 3.01

Binaries where fetched from http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/

This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007121720 (Web2C 7.5.6) (beta)

I tried also to switch to the snapshot version from http:// 
foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/

This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-snapshot-0.15.0-2007103113

This is build 762, created on 20070926T144212Z
Compiled with libpng 1.2.15; using libpng 1.2.15
Compiled with zlib 1.2.3; using zlib 1.2.3
Compiled with xpdf version 3.01

I deleted the cache.
After luatools --generate
texexec --lua --make --all

I get the same error:

! LuaTeX error ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/font- 
def.lua:436: attempt to index field 'otf' (a nil value).
\mkdefinefontfeature ...preset_context("#1","#2")}

taco and i need to look into it, somehow luatex behaves like an older 
version

that's because you introduced an arror in font-otf.lua

Re: Luatex startup difficulties

[Willi Egger]

Hi Hans,

indeed, I mistakenly commented the original lines of the first error  
with % instead of --.
Hereafter I left the patch Taco gave in the file font-otf.lua.

Running texexec --lua --make --all worked then with
This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-snapshot-0.15.0-2007103113
ConTeXt  ver: 2007.12.26 20:00 MKIV  fmt: 2007.12.29  int: english/ 
englis

Compiling my simple file ended with an error:

error: ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/node-ini.lua:438:  
bad argument #2 to 'kerning' (luatex.node expected, got boolean)


Then I reverted to the beta
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007121720
texexec --lua --make --all run without problem.

Compiling my simple file worked then!

So, sorry for the noise!

Thanks for all your responses!

Willi
