Do you think it would be a good idea to store a checksum of the actual font file used while generating the cache? This sounds useful. As it will need backend support in luatex, I will add a tracker item for this.

Isn't mtxrun --script fonts reload enough ?

Only if you actually see the problem happening, which may not be the case. The output could be messed up without any kind of warning from the engine.

is there unique info in the font file that we can use? version number that is guaranteed unique? if so, we can pass that to the backend then, if we can determine that something is wrong (a flag in statistics), we can at the end of a run issue a message, generate that specific font, flag the tuc file and we get a second run automatically taco and i can discuss a few such strategies off list Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
