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!
