I mean: one should not simply copy an opentype font into (context) system and expected things to work.
Why not? (Do you really want to make things more difficult than they can be on purpose? Who is going to install polish fonts then ... ?) Because you must check md5 font checksum of your document at every runs and on average the change of fonts <<< than number of context runs .
I don't change fonts for long time, and every change is tested.
That's not even entirely true. Fonts in minimals DO change, without running a special installer. Most of time it is also true that ConTeXt version probably changes inbetween as well anyway, so font cache will be rebuilt, but you should not rely on that.
Maybe a lua script to install fonts is better -- we can eventually think to a wxLua gui interface . Or start expanding fontinst to handle OpenType fonts? Anyone? it's trivial for an opentype font: 1)copy the file into an minimals dir (default tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/
/ )
I'm not speaking of fonts that come with minimals: every change is followed by a mtxrun update, so it's not a problem. 2) run mtxrun --script fonts reload Where are the problems ? (texfonts was much more complicated and none worry about it ) -- luigi
