Thanks -- all good suggestions. I was moving offices today, and didn't
get back online until an hour or so ago. I'll report in more detail
tomorrow.

First time posting to this list. Apologies if posts 'like this'
should go somewhere (or to someone) else.
After most recent (23 Apr) updates (I'm using MikTeX 2.9) to various
Which most recent update are you talking about? Could you please
add the output of mkluatexfontdb -V ?
mkluatexfontdb version 1.07, database version 2.009
Ok.
But, it doesn't matter. I normally use Minion Pro (which I own), but
it fails even using XITS Here is a simple MWE
<snip />
Thanks for the example. I can confirm those unwanted updates when
fontspec includes the euenc definitions (lm).
When I try to compile this using lualatex (using MikTeX 2.9), it
absolutely refuses to compile. For this MWE, the error message
actually occurs during liaotfload:
Luaotfload | scanning TEXMF and OS fonts...lualatex: Unexpected condition.
And then it stops.
Afaics this is not a luaotfload error.
Compilation itself does seem to progress 'correctly', but something
that takes twice as long (because of what appears to be a bug
causing luaotfload to run every time a file is compiled, is not an
'update'.
Probably an incorrect "file:" lookup.
Meaning?
It is under investigation:
https://github.com/eroux/luaotfload/issues/9#issuecomment-16776536
Wonder if its related to the following. If I bring up an admin cmd
console, and run
mkluatexfontdb -f -vvv
I get an error:
mklualatexdb: Windows API Error 5: Access is denied
mklualatexdb: Data: C://Documents and settings
Sorry, no idea. Maybe you need to pass it to texlua?
Sorry, but that seems like a stretch. Everything worked before
worked before.
I can't test with windows but it would appear this is permissions
related. Run mkluatexfondb -h to see where the database is
located. You need write permissions in that directory.
Suggestions? Clearly something has been 'broken' during the update -
at least on Windows machines running MikTeX 2.9.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for reporting
Philipp
Sure -- not sure what else to report.
I think the fact that mkluatexfontdb doesn't run - at all really -
is telling. Could it be a corruption of something on this one -
updated - system? Suggestions on what to look for?
File permissions. If the database is being rebuilt over and over
again, this might be a clue that it cannot be saved to disk. The
message indicating this would be:
luaotfload | Font names database not found, generating new one.
If it is only updated, then it's a problem with the lookup. In
this case, the message is the one you gave in your first post:
luaotfload | Updating the font names database:
If you are feeling adventurous, you can locate the file
"luaotfload.lua" from your distribution. Make a backup and
then comment out the line:
fonts.define.resolvers.file = fonts.define.resolvers.name
and see if it helps.
