Hi all,
while getting context/luatex to work, I experiment with fonts.
I play with DejaVu fonts. I found that when I use DejaVuSerif.ttf I get
what I want, but when I use DejaVuSans.ttf context produces nothing.
It seems to process document without any error message and gives no
pdf.
I made some investigation and I guess it has something to do with file
size of the font (DejaVuSerif.ttf-242KB, DejaVuSans.ttf-557KB).
Result is the same for fonts from collection with similar size.
Conversions with fontforge do not help.
Is there any limit for size of font?
Any other possible reason why?
% engine=luatex

only a few fonts seem to be okay, some crash luatex, some are not loaded
