The fontforge crash is in the code for handling AAT’s Multiple Masters-like thing, and Skia is the only ever publicly available font that implements it. The font opens fine in our SortsMill fork because we dropped that code, together with support for other AAT table since it was buggy and full of comments complaining about obscure, contradicting or even absent Apple documentation. My suggestion is to do the same in LuaTeX, I doubt any one is going to bother with writing an AAT shaper and that is a good shunk of code (and potential bugs) to get rid of. Regards, Khaled

Hi, is it possible to prevent LuaTeX from generating a logfile? Is there a callback for that? Patrick

\luatexdatestamp use
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi, Karl would like me to remove \luatexdatestamp (and its associated lua value), because that makes it easier to create new binaries from the same source code (without getting small differences always). That is a good argument, so my current plan is to remove it in the next version. Consider yourself warned ;) Best wishes, Taco
