I was just about to test what you had suggested earlier (didn't have
access to my LaTeX environment over the weekend :-( )

I have a hard time to understand your code examples. As far as I can see
your original code "shows" the definition of \rmdefault in certain
variants, and it puts in in the log output. If that's correct how would
I get it not to print to the console but be stored somewhere I can
process it further, and how would I process it in a way that LaTeX or
Lua's objects can tell me the "family"?
Something like this should work:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expl3}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Arial}
\begin{document}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\newcommand\currentromanfamily{}
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \regex_extract_once:nnNTF {no}

\tl_set:Nx \l_tmpa_tl { \tl_to_str:c {TU/\rmdefault/m/n}}

\regex_extract_once:noNTF
  { \"(.+?)\: }
  {\l_tmpa_tl}
  \l_tmpa_seq
  {
   \tl_set:Nx\currentromanfamily {\seq_item:Nn \l_tmpa_seq {2}}
  }
  {
   No Match
  }

\ExplSyntaxOff

\currentromanfamily

\end{document}




Indeed this prints the name of the font specified with \setmainfont, but I must admit I don't understand any of that code :-(

In order for this to work I would need a) either the family name (which it isn't) or the font id (from which I can get to the family and b) all three names in one invocation.

With the help of Will Robertson I came up with another approach that works - almost. WIth the following code I correctly have the three family names stored in a Lua table:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}
\begin{document}

\sffamily

We're in Sans
\begingroup%
  \rmfamily%
  \directlua{
  myfonts = {}
    myfonts.rm = 
fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].shared.rawdata.metadata['familyname']
  }%
  \sffamily%
  \directlua{
    myfonts.sf = 
fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].shared.rawdata.metadata['familyname']
  }%
  \ttfamily%
  \directlua{
    myfonts.tt = 
fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].shared.rawdata.metadata['familyname']
    print("")
    print('Main font: '..myfonts.rm)
    print('Sans font: '..myfonts.sf)
    print('Mono font: '..myfonts.tt)
  }%
\endgroup%
and we should be back in Sans.

\end{document}

This iterates over the three fonts - without actually printing anything - and treats every one as the "current" one. Although I must admit this approach is somewhat strage - like having to start a car's engine in order to determine its colour.

However, one problem is left which I didn't manage to solve: I need all this from within one Lua function. But when I wrap everything in *one* Lua chunk the font selection doesn't seem to work like other tex.print()-ing:

\begingroup%
  \rmfamily%
  \directlua{
  myfonts = {}
    tex.print('\noexpand\\rmfamily')
    myfonts.rm = 
fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].shared.rawdata.metadata['familyname']
    tex.print('\noexpand\\sffamily')
    myfonts.sf = 
fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].shared.rawdata.metadata['familyname']
    tex.print('\noexpand\\ttfamily')
    myfonts.tt = 
fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].shared.rawdata.metadata['familyname']
    print("")
    print('Main font: '..myfonts.rm)
    print('Sans font: '..myfonts.sf)
    print('Mono font: '..myfonts.tt)
  }%
\endgroup%


While this compiles the three fonts always show the font that is active before the function starts to execute.

So is there a way to select one of the three predefined font families *from within Lua* so subsequent statements in the same Lua chunk see the results?
