But this is very Windows specific. The wrappers exist for all scripts in a distribution, so I feel the user have to refer to his distribution documentation to see how to run such a script. BTW, "luatex(.exe) mkluatexfontdb.lua" will also work (if the input file has a .lua extension then luatex will act as texlua.) -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
