Regardless of any particular format, there is a consistency problem with pdftex, which should be fixed, imo by making luatex behave the same as pdftex, namely quote the file name in \jobname.

There is a consistency problem with the web2c extension that handles filename quoting, yes. I have removed the quotes recently after it became obvious that the quoting mechanism in web2c does not know how to deal with directory separators in font file names properly. I'll think about this some more, but just going back to whatever web2c was doing just because that was what web2c was doing, may not such a good solution. Perhaps we could backport the braced filename support to the rest of web2c ... Best wishes, Taco
