Hello,
I just spent some time debugging the error I had in luaotfload. It came
from something I wasn't expecting: In the cache of the font, the
filename is wrong because I moved the font. The problem is that
specification.filename is not taken into account at all if there is a
filename in the cache, even if this filename leads to no file.
Hans, do you think you could change the files to fix this problem? (If
I'm not wrong and if the problem has not already been fixed since the
last time we sync, which is very recent).
If not (this is more for the lualatex team), I thought about two solutions:
- we could free the font cache when we call mkluatexfontdb, this would
reset everything and it would be doable by the user in case of bug (that
could appear later)
- I can patch the ConTeXt files to check the filename, but it will be a
bit more difficult to maintain...
- we can do both!
i can check on the filename and do an additional lookup if needed but
that's as far as i want to go; anything more complex is asking for
troubles (also, as we're in code freeze time for tex live i'd rather not
do drastic changes as something that might work at your end can equally
well not work with context)
