When I run luaotfload-tool -u -f --cache=show on Linux I get in LeX Live 2023 luaotfload | ------------------------------------------------------------------- : luaotfload | cache : Luaotfload cache: writable path luaotfload | cache : location: /xopt/texlive/2023/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/fonts/ luaotfload | cache : [raw] 13 luaotfload | cache : [compiled] 13 luaotfload | cache : [other] 0 luaotfload | cache : [total] 26 luaotfload | cache : Luaotfload cache: readable path luaotfload | cache : location: /xopt/texlive/2023/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/fonts luaotfload | cache : [raw] 13 luaotfload | cache : [compiled] 13 luaotfload | cache : [other] 0 luaotfload | cache : [total] 26 luaotfload | ------------------------------------------------------------------- : and luatex-cache/generic/fonts/otl/ contains 26 files In LeX Live 2024 I get luaotfload | ------------------------------------------------------------------- : luaotfload | cache : Luaotfload cache: writable path luaotfload | cache : location: /xopt/texlive/2024/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/fonts/ luaotfload | cache : [raw] 0 luaotfload | cache : [compiled] 0 luaotfload | cache : [other] 0 luaotfload | cache : [total] 0 luaotfload | cache : Luaotfload cache: readable path luaotfload | cache : location: /xopt/texlive/2024/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/fonts luaotfload | cache : [raw] 0 luaotfload | cache : [compiled] 0 luaotfload | cache : [other] 0 luaotfload | cache : [total] 0 luaotfload | ------------------------------------------------------------------- : and the directory luatex-cache/generic/fonts/ is empty. According to strace -eopen -u -f luaotfload-tool --cache=show luaotfload-tool searches for fonts in several directories but in TL-2024 no one is cached. But luaotfload-tool --version reports luaotfload-tool version: "3.27" Luatex version: 1.17 in TeX Live 2023 and luaotfload-tool version: "3.27" Luatex version: 1.18 in TeX Live 2024. I assumed that an incompatible change in LuaTeX caused the problem. But even if I copy the TL-2023 luatex binary to texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-linux it doesn't work. luaotfload-tool version: "3.27" Luatex version: 1.17 >From 'svn log': r69916 | karl | 2024-02-16 22:10:33 +0100 (Fri, 16 Feb 2024) | 1 line This change appeared one day later on CTAN and then people reported problems. Thus I suppose that something went wrong with this update (all files are marked as modified in the repository but the version number was't bumped). Looks like an accident. If the problem can't be solved in due time it's probably best to revert the change in the TeX Live repository. I've added [email protected] to the CC because I suppose that the luaotfload experts are listening there.
