There is probably a really simple answer to this, but what is the current method for loading OpenType/TrueType fonts in luatex? I've tried a few things that do not appear to work, and I haven't been able to find any complete examples of how to do so. \pdfoutput=1 \font\myfont={Vera.ttf} % This doesn't work %\font\myfont={cmr10} % This does work {\myfont Testing} \end % luatex --fmt=plain foo.tex This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-snapshot-2007040613 (Web2C 7.5.6) (foo.tex ! Font \myfont=Vera.ttf not loadable: Metric (TFM/OFM) file not found or bad. <to be read again> \par l.4 Where Vera.ttf is in current directory. My impression from the manual (page 38) was that luatex could construct metrics directly from the font without needing something like otftotfm. I also tried registering a define_font callback that called the font.read_ttf function, but that gave similar results. I'm using luatex build from the subversion repository (currently at revision 386). -- [Geoff Washburn|geoffw@cis.upenn.edu|http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~geoffw/]
