Hello,
I am starting with LuaTeX and I have problem to find the relevant
documentation about \font primitive. There is only one document
http://www.luatex.org/talks/print-plain-tug-2009.pdf
page 7. It seems that the \font primitive works like in XeTeX. Thus I
started with experiments:
luatex -ini luatex.ini
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012052410 (TeX Live 2012) (INITEX)
(/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/luatex.ini
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/luatexiniconfig.tex)
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/luatex-unicode-letters.tex
...
Beginning to dump on file luatex.fmt
(format=luatex 2012.11.28)
3439 strings using 12961 bytes
...
No pages of output.
Transcript written on luatex.log.
OK, the format luatex.fmt is generated. Then I prepared the following
document pok.tex:
\font\aa="[lmroman10-regular]"
\aa text
\end
Now, I run:
luatex -fmt luatex pok
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012052410 (TeX Live 2012)
(./pok.tex
! Font \aa=[lmroman10-regular] not loadable: metric data not found or bad.
<to be read again>
\aa
l.2 \aa
text
?
kpsewhich lmroman10-regular.otf says:
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman10-regular.otf
The same experiment with XeTeX passes without problems.
What is wrong?
Thanks
Petr Olsak
