Elie,

I tried installing and loading luaotfload etc. and hit a snag. I get the following message when trying to load the packages:

(/usr/local/texlive/2008/../texmf-local/tex/luatex/luaotfload/ luaotfload.sty
Package: luaotfload 2009/04/15 v1.01 ConTeXt font loading system

(/usr/local/texlive/2008/../texmf-local/tex/luatex/luatextra/ luatextra.sty
(/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/ifluatex.sty
Package: ifluatex 2007/12/12 v1.0 Provides the ifluatex switch (HO)


! Package ifluatex Error: Name clash, \ifluatex is already defined.

See the ifluatex package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.141     }
           %

What have I done wrong? I don't suppose you have any examples of using luaotfload, do you?

Thanks,

Josh

I know Élie has been working on extra LuaTeX packages that would allow using your *.otf fonts directly (using XeTeX-style font calls -- \font
\foo="fantasticfont.otf"); I've not been following development
closely, so I'm not sure how far he is in that -- maybe they're
working already. :-) Hopefully he can fill you in, but his packages
(luatextra, luainputenc, luaotfload, luamplib) are available on CTAN
and will also, as far as I know, be in TeXLive 2009. That would be the
easiest method, since you wouldn't have to deal with any font
conversions for LaTeX.


Hello,

these packages are finished and are on the CTAN and in an updated
TeXLive 2008. The most important thing that is missing is luafontconfig, which is not working yet, and won't before a couple of months. Otherwise you can safely use these packages to load your otf font directly. If you use otf fonts, you don't have to load luainputenc nor fontenc, it should
work directly in UTF-8.

The other solution I used is the script otfinst
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/otfinst/), which does a
lot of things automatically.

Thank you,

The other (not quite as) simple way to install otf fonts in a TeX
distribution is by using LCDF Typetools 
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/lcdf-typetools.html
). For convenience, there is a wrapper script also available called
autoinst (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fontools.html
). Running autoinst on your Garamond font files would create all the
TeX fontfiles needed. Both those are included in a complete MacTeX
install, but if you don't have them, you can download from CTAN. I
wish I could point you to step-by-step instructions, but I'm on my out
again... if the autoinst documentation is unclear, I can put up a
walkthrough later/tomorrow.


Hope that helps,

Tracy
