I have downloaded the executable (Version snapshot-0.29.0-2008071816) from the context-minimals and made a simple texmf.cnf and build some formats (the formats don't contain something luatex specific, they simply load latex.ltx). Things works quite fine, my (pdf)lualatex is running and is finding all the ressources (fonts, styles etc) from my miktex-trees. But I have some problems I don't know how to solve. 1. In the following document there is no space between the a and the y: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \noindent a\\y \bigskip a\par y \end{document} It looks as if the lines have only the depth from their content. 2. I found here some code to use truetype and opentype fonts: http://luatex.bluwiki.com/go/Use_a_TrueType_font But while testing the code I run in two two problems: a) I tested it with a latin modern font and arial and with both fonts all lines of a text are printed one above the other. It looks as if none of the lines have a height and a depth. b) I also tried MnSymbol5.otf and there I get an error "invalid character". (I tried to get an "A"). With xetex the font works fine. I would be quite grateful if someone could tell me how to solve this problems. -- Ulrike Fischer ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
