I may finally have found the cause of this problem! My afm files are somewhat older and they turned out to have Macintosh line endings instead of Unix line endings. I guess Taco Hoekwater can tell us how detrimental this is. Hans van der Meer On 26 mrt 2011, at 22:34, Hans van der Meer wrote:
From the book "Fonts in ConTeXt" I got the impression that the Lucida font is working and decided to give it a try. I have the afm and type1 files in my texmf-local/fonts directory. However, this simple program: \setupbodyfont[lucida] \starttext Hello world! \stoptext takes forever. On my MacPro (mid 2010) luatex is utilizing a processor thread for 100%. I guess processing the fonts take some time. But after more than 12 minutes cpu time without any sign of process I do not believe all is well. The log file is tacked to this post. Is there someone who knows what is happening and where the culprit could be hiding? Thanks in advance.
