Yes I realized that ;-). Currently I'm trying simple code to understand the principles so that I can later steal the right things from the context files. > That said, the problems should not be as bad as the ones you report > below: > >> 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. >> of the lines have a height and a depth. > > That's not what happens to me, you should really send a precise example.

I get the A all right (see attachment). Again, > please send the precise example that fails. The MnSymbol-Bold5 you used works fine for me too. MnSymbol5 is the font doesn't work (the code is -- commented -- in test-lua2): <c:/PROGRAMME/MIKTEX2.7/fonts/opentype/public/mnsymbol/MnSymbol5.otf !luaTeX error (file c:/PROGRAMME/MIKTEX2.7/fonts/opentype/public/mnsymbol/MnSym bol5.otf): Invalid character. ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! -- Ulrike Fischer
