Hi David. Thanks for giving the article a spin. The first suspect is the mapfile. You should have in your local tree: fonts/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.map The contents may be confusing, but they *should* be parsable. If it's not there, or it's content-free, then I suspect that you're not using the latest LCDF typetools. You're a mac user, right? If so, then Gerben has the latest version (2.26) available in the *EXPERIMENTAL* i-Installer directory. Using the previous one he made available (2.2) was the #1 source of errors while the article was being reviewed. If I'm wide of the mark, email me your configuration (platform & version numbers) & map file off-list, and we'll see what we can find.

Greetings all, and esp. Adam :)

Been toying with Adam Lindsay's recent PracTeX Journal guide for installing OpenType. The sample with torunska works (though the noted GPOS errors are there) up to the point where I issue the command:

texexec --pdf --mode=compact --once texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.tex

Whereupon I receive the following (I've cut it perhaps too severely, let me know what more would be helpful to see):

[ v. much cut out ]

[ cut: same for each font variant ]

Output written on texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.pdf (17 pages, 364611 byte s). Transcript written on texnansi-LIGA-KERN-public-torunska.log.

return code : 0 run time : 51 seconds

total run time : 52 seconds

Each of the named variants seems to have been installed correctly in tetex.local, and I did texhash, etc.

Thanks very much, David Wooten
