some mac fonts do not work correctly
Hello Hans, we got a bug report that some (proprietary) mac fonts don't work correctly. The reason seem to be that the OpenType cmap format used by these fonts isn't supported by the fontloader. The necessary cmap formats are "platform 0 (Unicode), encoding 1 (Unicode 1.1(?)), format 12" and maybe as a fallback "platform 1 (Mac), encoding 0 (Roman), format 0". A test would be \starttext \font\oddfont="Big Caslon Medium" \oddfont A \stoptext (I don't have a mac and so couldn't check) The bug report we got is here https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/issues/73 -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

I don't have that file.
After number of test rounds we managed to get all fonts (with one odd exception) working with these values: BigCaslon.ttf needs {0, 1, 12}, the W*dings*.ttf fonts need {3, 0, 4} and the affected CJK fonts require {0, 3, 12}. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
