hi taco---
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/649666/lulatex-macos-font-mystery-fo...
I just ran into some lualatex problems with a font from macos Fontbook.
suggestion: may I suggest improving the error messages with respect to fonts? if a font is not found, print out *where* luatex was looking for the font ("montserrat not found in /usr/...; /opt/..."). [maybe also add the most similarly named font if one exists.] ulrike also suggested that maybe the font was damaged, although it worked well with other apps. in any case, if this could be the reason, perhaps add a different kind of error message than "font not found."
regards,
/iaw
