Thank you very much. Does this apply to LuaTeX-plain as well (`luatex.exe --fmt luatex-plain`)? LuaTeX works fine if I set `$TEXMFHOME` (MacOSX) or `%TEXMFHOME%` (Windows) environment variables, or put files in default location `$HOME/texmf` (Mac). But otherwise, I seem to have problems. Will try the to use the `texmf-project/..` and `texmf-fonts/..` directories though. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
