Hi, after watching the list for some time, I decided to try luatex. On ubuntu, I installed the minimals as indicated in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals (in my home folder)
A simple testfile works with "texmfstart texexec file" (Mk II) and "context file" (Mk IV). I then tried to install fonts I use frequently (LinLibertine and Gentium). I created a "texmf-local" folder and mirrored my previous installation, i.e.: texmf-local/fonts/truetype/sil/gentium texmf-local/fonts/tfm/sil/gentium texmf-local/fonts/vf/sil/gentium texmf-local/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-sil-... texm-local/tex/context/base/type-... Then: mktexlsr Result: font not used (with texmfstart texexec file) I then tried other commands (without expecting much), namely: mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --selfupdate luatools --generate mtxrun --script font --reload again, without effect. I then copied everything into texmf-context and executed the above commands. Without effect. Before I provide more details, these questions: 1. I created texmf-local in the hope that it will survive updates. Is this so? 2. Shouldn't mktexlsr be enough, if you use Mk II? I used this method of copying fonts from one installation to another before. 3. Is there something I'm missing?
