Could not load ec-lmr12.tfm. Inexistent or bad font file, or something like that.
I fixed the ecrm1000 bug that Javier Bevos hinted that it could be the same thing, and you never got back to me, so I assumed it was solved. You have to be more specific than "problem generating the format", there can be many causes for a failure to find a font. I would like to know: * What operating system type are you on? * Which format are you attempting to generate? * Which version of luatex do you use? * Where is the luatex executable on the filesystem? * Where is the texmf tree (and that font) on the filesystem?
I decided to compile and debug LuateX myself. Something worth indeed if I ever plan to become a developper. It was the first time I tangled something. I saw a luatangle.web (if my memory does not betray me), so I started tangling that, but I get pascal code, and I don't have a pascal compiler.
In the luatex distribution and the repository, there is a toplevel file called INSTALL. This explains how to build luatex (albeit briefly). Even shorter: you should run these two commands $ ./build.sh <wait for the build to finish> $ cp build/texk/web2c/luatex <texmf-bin-dir> But that just for your information, the luatex source code is almost certainly not the cause of luatex's inability to find and load ec-lmr12.tfm.
