Dear Group,

Thank you for your time. I'm starting out with TeX/ConTeXt, but
want to arrive via LuaTeX (`luatex-plain.tex/fmt`). Managed to
build, move and use `luatex-plain`. Have the same problem under
MacOSX & Win7 (here is the Win-specific decription -- `%CTX%` is
my ConTeXt root):

Placed some fonts under `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\minion\` &
`%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\myriad`. Executed, the following
commands, recognising there might be redundancy, but not sure):

     mtxrun --script fonts --update --force
     mtxrun --script fonts --update --simple
     mtxrun --script fonts --update
     mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=minion

Result:

     minionpro             minionprobold      MinionPro-Bold.otf
     minionprobold         minionprobold      MinionPro-Bold.otf
     minionproboldit       minionproboldit    MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
     minionprobolditalic   minionproboldit    MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
     minionproit           minionproit        MinionPro-It.otf
     minionproitalic       minionproit        MinionPro-It.otf
     minionpronormal       minionproit        MinionPro-It.otf
     minionproregular      minionproregular   MinionPro-Regular.otf

`hello.tex` - luatex-plain test file:

     %[luatex-plain] Hello
     %
     font\T =minionproregular at 12pt\T
     Hello world.
     \bye

Executed:

     luatex-plain hello.tex

Result:

fonts : font with asked name 'minionproregular'
       is not found using lookup 'name'
     fonts : unknown font 'minionproregular', loading aborted
     ! Font \ch=minionproregular at 12pt not loadable:
       metric data not found or bad.

Looked in `%CTX%\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\generic\fonts\data`
at the file `luatex-font-names.lua`. The fonts were listed. Then
deleted the `luatex-font-names.luc` file, added the full paths
to the fonts in front of all the file names in the `.lua` file.

Running `luatex-plain hello.tex` again, works now as expected (it
seems to recreate the `luatex-font-names.luc` automatically).

Setting `OSFONTDIR` before font update and/or before running
`luatex-plain`, have no observable effect.

So, I do have a manual fix/solution. But is there an easier way?

I assume you made a plain format with:

  mtxrun --script plain --make

Then, does this work:

  mtxrun --script plain luatex-test

okay?
