I am experimenting with MacTeX2010.
I have run into one problem. I use Linotype FontExplorer Pro (2.5, on Mac OS X
10.6.3) to manage my type library. With this simple document:
%%==8><--%%
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TEX TS-program = LuaLaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Centaur MT Pro}
\begin{document}
This is easy.
\end{document}
%%==8><--%%
I get the following from the console:
%%==8><--%%
luaotfload | Updating the font names database:
luaotfload | scanning TEXMF fonts...
luaotfload | scanning OS fonts...
./luatest.tex:8: Font \...@basefont=centaur MT Pro at 10pt not loadable: metric
data not found or bad.
<to be read again>
\let
l.8 \setmainfont{Centaur MT Pro}
?
%%==8><--%%
Will Robertson explained: "Unfortunately LuaLaTeX doesn't use the actual font
system in Mac OS X, it just cheats and looks in known locations like
~/Library/Fonts/ and so on. This is a limitation in LuaLaTeX that can only be
fixed by someone who knows what they're doing :)"
Would it be possible for Lua{La)TeX to use fonts activated by font management
software? (WR also went on to explain that it is possible to use mkluatexfontdb
to widen the Lua search area).
