The following example (from the TeXbook source) works fine in dvi mode, but gives an error in pdf mode:

\font\cmman=cmman \line{\cmman The\hfill T\kern-10pt\lower13pt\hbox{E}\kern-5pt Xbook} \bye

And the error that I get when I run "luatex --output-format=pdf" (pdftex works fine though):

This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2008063017 (Web2C 7.5.6) (t.tex [1{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+0/72 --dpi 72 cmman mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 72; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 72 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file or option to specify the mode; see: mktexpk: http://tug.org/texinfohtml/kpathsea.html#Unable-to-generate-fonts kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ) luaTeX warning (file cmman): Font cmman at 72 not found

that's a bitmap font that then needs to be generated on the fly; bitmap fonts have a low priority (i'm not even sure if it had worked at all in luatex) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
