Hi,
I am trying to use truetype fonts with mkiv.
When loading a font given a full path name like this:
\font\test=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf at 12pt
the log shows
report >> load otf: loading: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont//FreeSans.ttf report >> load otf: enhance: before report >> load otf: enhance: enrich report >> load otf: enhance: registering tlig feature report >> load otf: enhance: registering trep feature report >> load otf: enhance: flatten report >> load otf: flattening 'specifications' tables report >> load otf: flattening 'anchor' tables report >> load otf: flattening 'gpos' tables report >> load otf: flattening 'gsub' tables report >> load otf: enhance: analyze report >> load otf: enhance: after report >> load otf: replacing 'kerns' tables by 'mykerns' tables report >> load otf: enhance: patch report >> load otf: enhance: strip report >> load otf: enhance: pack report >> load otf: file size: 458648 report >> load otf: saving: in cache fonts : resetting map file list {/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-empty.map} fonts : using map file: original-base {/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-base.map} fonts : using map file: lm-math {/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map} fonts : using map file: lm-rm {/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map} fonts : using map file: original-ams-base {/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-ams-base.map} fonts : using map file: original-ams-euler {/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-ams-euler.map} fonts : using map file: original-public-lm {/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-public-lm.map} [1.1] systems : end file 11 at line 24 ) !luaTeX error (file FreeSans.ttf): cannot open OpenType font file for reading ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
How can I tell what's wrong?
Defining
\font\test=FreeSans.ttf at 12pt
results in
error >> define font: font with name FreeSans is not found error >> define font: name: FreeSans, loading aborted ! Font \test=FreeSans at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.
while using this construction with luatex's plain format seems to work (I assume some definition to register the font).
What does context need to find the font?
Thanks, Eythan
