I did not have the intention of giving up : ) Mojca suggested I try to source in setuptex, I will try that next then. I was just waiting if somebody might reply to Jean.
Good luck ;-)
Let me ask another question then: once luatex works, how can I make use of the ttf font? I suppose it is not as simple as copying it in the fonts/truetype directory and running mktexlsr?
Forget mktexlsr. Just put the font in your working directory or the main Mac directory (I don't know Mac) and luatex wil pick it up, if all has been configured correctly. See also the sample file I sent. luaTeX just searches the default font folder, Windows/Fonts in my case.
I had a glance at the mfonts.pdf manual, and I already installed FontForge aka pfaedit, but I do not know yet how it all plays together.
Why do you need FF? Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
