Hi,
I am trying to use truetype fonts with mkiv.
When loading a font given a full path name like
this:
\font\test=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf at 12pt
the log shows
report >> load otf: loading: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont//FreeSans.ttf
report >> load otf: enhance: before
report >> load otf: enhance: enrich
report >> load otf: enhance: registering tlig feature
report >> load otf: enhance: registering trep feature
report >> load otf: enhance: flatten
report >> load otf: flattening 'specifications' tables
report >> load otf: flattening 'anchor' tables
report >> load otf: flattening 'gpos' tables
report >> load otf: flattening 'gsub' tables
report >> load otf: enhance: analyze
report >> load otf: enhance: after
report >> load otf: replacing 'kerns' tables by 'mykerns' tables
report >> load otf: enhance: patch
report >> load otf: enhance: strip
report >> load otf: enhance: pack
report >> load otf: file size: 458648
report >> load otf: saving: in cache

!luaTeX error (file FreeSans.ttf): cannot open OpenType font file for reading
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
How can I tell what's wrong?
Defining
\font\test=FreeSans.ttf at 12pt
results in
error >> define font: font with name FreeSans is not found
error >> define font: name: FreeSans, loading aborted
! Font \test=FreeSans at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.
while using this construction with luatex's plain format seems to work
(I assume some definition to register the font).
What does context need to find the font?
Thanks, Eythan
