!LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

at the end of the compilation... does someone know where it comes from? It appears if a font is in the TEXMFHOME directory and is called with \font directly (with or without file: at the beginning). Do other people have this problem? Also, the current method doesn't work with font in the current directory, which is a quite strong regression. I'll try to fix it, but it's not that simple, as I didn't write anything in names.resolve(); Khaled, could you take a look?

After some testing, it's easy to reproduce it by putting a font only in TEXMFHOME... (copy fxlr.otf in TEXMFHOME/fonts/opentype/newfont.otf and try to load it). This looks like a bug in LuaTeX... this could be patched by putting the absolute name in the database for TEXMFHOME, do you think it would be a good idea? Can someone confirm the bug so that I can bugreport it?

Also, the behaviour seems strange in very simple cases: if I do \font\test=fxlri.otf, it will try to look for the name, and if won't find it, so it will regenerate the database and try again. Wouldn't it be better to look if we find a font file extention to the name, and then simply return instead of regenerating the database?

I fixed the behaviour in the last push I made... please tell me if you see wrong things in it. Will, I'll try to merge your code soon.

Thank you,
