I have some plaintex code to run from the ConTeXt beta-distribution, because I didn't install the complete TeXp-distribution (and if possible prefer to keep it that way).
I did not fare well with running "texexec --make plain" and "mtxrun --script plain myfile.tex" The first command does not give a sign of dumping the plain format somewhere, the second command complains "I can't find the format file luatex-plain.fmt"
It looks if I am on the wrong track for using luatex with plain. Will someone please be so kind to turn me in the right direction?
mtxrun --script plain --make
While you’re at it, could you please report back whether this succeeds immediately or bombs out like so: Preloading the plain format: codes, registers, parameters, fonts, more fonts, ! Font \preloaded=manfnt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. <to be read again> \par Thanks! Philipp
