This isn't the only problem when you use the code with mkii, the author
wrote it for mkiv and used the marvosym font in a way which doesn't work
with pdftex.

Re: [NTG-context] Removing banner from mtxrun output
The filters module works great! The R module should be abandoned in favor of it. The only problem I have now is the problem with the unwanted lines at the end of R output. Is there a way to instruct \typefile to ignore the last four lines of the outputfile? I assume defining an alternative command which does just that is not too difficult, but sadly beyond me.

Not hard to do, just no interface. We can change buffers.range so that it

All other publishing related programs on my system will a) look in /usr/share/fonts and b) list the fonts fond there in a window when selecting fonts. Laying aside b) for the moment it would be nice if some form of TeX (preferably not LaTeX) would join the party and find Type1, TTF and OTF fonts in the system standard location. Gimp does this, Scribus does this, Inkscape does this, Open Office Writer does this and so on. Luatex supposedly does this. But getting Luatex to work on a new standard distro , texlive 2010, seems to be a game of whackamole. I tried comp.text.tex but when no one there seemed to have the right answers and many of the names mentioned in the documentation were gurus here I thought I would ask how to get the luatex business set up. My goal is to use the stuff myself of course but also to describe how to do it in a book I am writing on Free Publishing Software. It does not appear that Luatex is suitable for a newbie to set up. Remember, the competition consists of programs where you download and install the program and font finding is automatic. I write for an impatient audience who want to have it all just work without a lot of experimentation and fuss and feathers. There does not yet seem to be a reliable single set of instructions for installing Luatex and setting it up properly. When there is I will revisit the program.

Re: [NTG-context] Fonts
Well I have been typesetting books in plain tex and pdftex for a decade or more. Supposedly luatex is a superset of pdftex that makes finding fonts easier and eliminates the generation of tmf files. Not if you use plain TeX. Unlike XeTeX, LuaTeX cannot find or use any more fonts than pdfTeX does. You need additional macros, that are present in ConTeXt, but in neither LaTeX nor (obviously) plain TeX. You can, though, use the luaotfload package with LuaLaTeX as well as (I think) plain LuaTeX, but Khaled should be able to tell you more about that.

If you all what you want is plain TeX, then why you are looking for
ConTeXt solutions, I mean you don't need ConTeXt nor ConTeXt file
locating system (which does not use kpathsea) to use plain format.
The issue you have is because your ConTeXt MkIV is not properly setup
yet (true for fresh TeXLive 2010 installs). You need to run `luatools
-generate` to generate the file database (used to locating files,
similar to running texhash and likes, but TeXLive scripts does not run
it by default). Then you need to set your system font paths, by setting
OSFONTDIR, and ConTeXt will then be able find system fonts.
However, you don't need any of then to use system fonts with plain,
there are already packages for this (based on dome of ConTeXt code, but
adapted to be self contained and ConTeXt independent).
A small test file would be:
\input luaotfload.sty % works for plain despite the .sty
\font\pagella={name:TeX Gyre Pagella:script=latn;+onum} at 10pt
\font\termes={file:texgyretermes-regular.otf:script=latn} at 10pt
\pagella some text 12345\par
\termes other text
\bye
This should work out of box on texlive (at first run it will take some
time building font database). If it does not work, it is a bug.
For LaTeX, just check fontspec documentation, and there is a
lualatex-dev list on CTAN, and luatex list for general, non-ConTeXt
questions.

Khaled
