Dear All, An issue[0] was raised recently, from a user who had fonts installed under Windows, recognized by his softwares but not LuaTeX (nor XeTeX). Apparently[1] the fonts are installed through a mechanism documented by MS[2] consisting in adding the font in the list of fonts in the Windows Registry.
Lua has several modules allowing to read the registry, there's an entry in the FAQ[3], and another module not listed in the FAQ[4]. As ConTeXt may also benefit from reading the registry (there's a ConTeXt user in [2]), what do you think would be the best solution to access the registry from LuaTeX? Should a module like lua-winreg be distributed (as a dll) in TeXLive? Should it be built in LuaTeX? Thank you very much, -- Elie [0]: https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/270 [1]: http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5612&p=25551#p25552 [2]: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd144833%28v=vs.85%29.aspx [3]: http://www.luafaq.org/#T3.7 [4]: https://github.com/moteus/lua-winreg
