Hi, I am having some trouble getting the mathdesign charter font to work. Minimal example x.tex: \loadtypescriptfile[mathdesign] \setupbodyfont[charter] \starttext Foo \stoptext I tried the context that comes with Debian unstable, but that one segfaulted[1]. So I tried the standalone version, but that one can't find the math fonts: $ context x.tex mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="x" --lua="/home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./x.tex" --c:input="./x.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=8 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) \write18 enabled. open source > 1 > 1 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2014.07.30 10:31 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.8.15 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname 'x', input './x', result 'x' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > 2 > 3 > /home/edwin/typography/poster/test/x.tex open source > 3 > 4 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-mathdesign.mkiv close source > 3 > 4 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-mathdesign.mkiv fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchr7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 2 with name 'mdbchr7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchri7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 3 with name 'mdbchri7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 4 with name 'mdbchri7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchb7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 5 with name 'mdbchb7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchbi7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 6 with name 'mdbchbi7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchr7y' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 7 with name 'mdbchr7y' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchr7v' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 8 with name 'mdbchr7v' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchrma' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 9 with name 'mdbchrma' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchrmb' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 10 with name 'mdbchrmb' at 7pt is skipped, not found lua error > error on line 2 in file /home/edwin/typography/poster/test/x.tex: ...n/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/l-table.lua:323: table index is nil stack traceback: ...n/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/l-table.lua:323: in function 'fastcopy' .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:551: in function 'addmissing' .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:1059: in function <.../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:662> (...tail calls...) .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-def.lua:415: in function 'read' .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-ctx.lua:1109: in function 'definefont_two' [\directlua]:1: in main chunk 1 \loadtypescriptfile[mathdesign] 2 >> \setupbodyfont[charter] 3 \starttext 4 Foo 5 \stoptext 6 ? I tried the stable version too (first-setup.sh --context=current), but no luck. Initially the standalone version didn't even want to find the Charter font: $ export OSFONTDIR="/:/etc/texmf:/var/lib/texmf:/usr/share/texmf:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist" [edited font-syn.lua to enable trace_warnings, --track=fonts.warnings appears to have no effect] $ mtxrun --script fonts --reload [....] fonts | names | error when identifying afm font '/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter/bchb8a.afm', no matching pfb file fonts | names | error when identifying afm font '/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter/bchbi8a.afm', no matching pfb fil e fonts | names | error when identifying afm font '/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter/bchr8a.afm', no matching pfb file fonts | names | error when identifying afm font '/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter/bchri8a.afm', no matching pfb file [...] The .afm files seem to be available in two places: /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchr8a.afm /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter/bchr8a.afm Same for pfb (but the pfb is not always next to the afm): /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchr8a.pfb /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter/bchr8a.pfb But modifying OSFONTDIR like this worked: $ export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/:/etc/texmf:/var/lib/texmf:/usr/share/texmf:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist" $ mtxrun --script fonts --reload [...] $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=charter charterbt charterbtbold /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchb8a.afm charterbtbold charterbtbold /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchb8a.afm charterbtbolditalic charterbtbolditalic /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchbi8a.afm charterbtitalic charterbtitalic /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchri8a.afm charterbtnormal charterbtroman /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchr8a.afm charterbtroman charterbtroman /usr/share/fonts/type1/texlive-fonts-recommended/bchr8a.afm The md-chr* files are here, but how do I tell 'mtxrun --script fonts' to load it?
