Hello, Whenever I compile a document, it appears that mtxrun and simple fonts must rebuild/remake/generate every time. mtxrun starts off with: MTXrun | warning: source mismatch (luv: 144e2249a1a87cb1144311e3cfb4f0e1 <> bin: 40142b7d400e559a49cf2e9f12599280), forcing remake It appears to not throw errors about saving the cache. Just one example in hundreds: MTXrun | resolvers: preparing 'files' for '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist' MTXrun | resolvers: category 'files', cachename '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist' saved in '/Users/andrew/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/210a81d6dcb1059dc80fab3f5470ab7a/trees/26993469c6208234eef0d0acf8456c4d.lua' It appears that this command tails with: MTXrun | format path: /Users/andrew/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/210a81d6dcb1059dc80fab3f5470ab7a/formats MTXrun | resolvers: using given filetype 'tex' MTXrun | using tex source file: /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex MTXrun | resolvers: using given filetype 'tex' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'cont-en.lus' MTXrun | resolvers: qualified name '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-en.lus' Then luatex --ini begins: MTXrun | running command: luatex --ini --lua="/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-cod.lua" "/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex" \dump This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.64.0-2010111215 (INITEX) \write18 enabled.
