Hi, I uploaded a new beta. Apart from some fixes, the main change in lmtx is that on windows most (a few exceptions) of the mechanisms that interface to the operating system support the internal wide character model which should make the lot more robust for file names, environment variables, command line options etc that (at the tex/lua end utf8) have characters other than ascii. Another improvement in lmtx is support for ancient type 1 fonts (like the type 1 lucidas) but that's more 'being complete' than a 'real need' (when such fonts are used wiping the cache is needed). Both these (lmtx only) patches can have unforseen (by me) side effects but nothing that can't be fixed fast.
