Re: [NTG-context] latest beta: trouble with font loading

Hello all, i wrote an email last thursday but got no answer because of this: Your request to the ntg-context mailing list Posting of your message titled "fonts broken in recent ConTeXt mkiv...?" has been rejected by the list moderator. The moderator gave the following reason for rejecting your request: "Your message was too big; please trim it to less than 64 KB in size." Any questions or comments should be directed to the list administrator at: ntg-context-owner@ntg.nl whatever... now i only have attached the .log and .tex (minimal example) files (first i attached the .otf font too). My problem with the otf font loading still exists (even after completely removing the old minimals and uptating via first-setup.sh). All my documents compile normal but the fonts are not visible (in one document i can see some strange numbers...predominantly 9) no matter what otf font i use (all my fonts are located in /Users/bernhardrosensteiner/Library/Fonts). All graphic related stuff works normal even the defined position on the paper is right. Fallback fonts (normal cmr) works (when i out-comment the \definefont line in my minimal example). I have Mac OS X 10.6. please help best regards Bernhard Am 21.11.2009 um 02:28 schrieb Yanrui Li:

I did so and solved this problem. However I can not use Chinese OTF fonts such as 'AdobeSongStd-Light.otf', because luatex need very very large memory to load it in the stage of *enhancing* . This is a test file:

\definefont[song][name:adobesongstd] \starttext \song 测试 \stoptext

The process of compiling stops here:

!load otf : loading: /usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeSongStd-Light.otf (hash: adobesongstd-light) !load otf : file size: 16229772 !load otf : enhancing ...

that's only the first time

But it looks like abnormal. It is still *enhancing* after spending 3.3GB memory and about 1 minute. Finally I got the message:

fixed in beta, was some kind of loop

Sorry for my noice. The problem still exists in the latest beta (2009.11.21 00:06, linux x86) which was installed after I removed the previous one completely. The problem just arise in loading Chinese OTF fonts. It is normal for loading Chinese TTF font.
