Hans, thank you for your swift reply. We've been using pdftex for quite some time, and will be really glad to experiment with the current version of LuaTex, and not in a hurry, and prepared to throw everything away :-) If possible, could you give some direction (very rough outline) on how to set "large" ttf and otf fonts (assuming that the input is UTF-8 encoded)? Has anyone tried/did this before ? I can post an example in a couple of weeks; the current open type table representation is in the process of being changes (we are switching from approx fontforge 1* structure to approx the new fontforge 2* structure).
(As part of the project we will write some simple generic font code; no features and such, just simple mappings from otf to tfm + basic ligatures and kerns so that one can do open type in traditional texie ways; these can then serve as a starting point for users.) Hans
