problem with today's beta
Hi Hans, there's a problem with today's beta: at every run I get this error: Attempt to allocate memory failed. fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix otfMTXrun | fatal error, no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted even when I call something like this: mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="times*" MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix otf Attempt to allocate memory failed. zsh: abort mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="times*" This is on OS X intel, if this matters. All best Thomas

Oops, you're right, I just tested with Ubuntu and see that it must be something in my private texmf tree. I'll report back as soon as I find out what it is! Thomas

OK, I found the culprit: an older version of LinuxLibertine in my $HOMEtexmf; when I replaced it with the most recent version, the error went away. Looks like the fontload mechanism in the latest beta is pickier than in the version before that... Thanks luigi, and sorry for the noise Thomas

Just one addition: I see there were messages about this font in 2008 on the list, and it was troublesome because of the stupid names that its creators have given it. For the time being, I haven't found any way of loading it in mkiv. I've tried according to the fonts script, it's linlibertineo LinLibertineO LinLibertine_Re-4.4.1.otf I tried \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:linlibertineo] and \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:LinLibertine_Re-4.4.1] and even \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:"LinLibertine_Re-4.4.1.otf"] but no dice. Unless someone can come up with another idea, I will simply conclude that atm, this font cannot be used with mkiv. Thomas

Hi Thomas, like this: $ ls .fonts/Linux-Libertine-4.4.1/ linlib-bolditalic.otf linlib-bold.otf linlib-caps.otf linlib-italic.otf linlib-roman.otf with OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts and the following typescripts: % Script taken from the "typescripts" pacakage at http://modules.contextgarden.net/typescripts \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Regular] [name:Linux Libertine O] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Italic] [name:Linux Libertine O Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Bold] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-BoldItalic] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Caps] [name:Linux Libertine O Capitals] [features=default] \stoptypescript % Script taken from the "typescripts" pacakage at \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [LinuxLibertine-Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [LinuxLibertine-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [LinuxLibertine-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [LinuxLibertine-BoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [LinuxLibertine-Caps] [features=default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[linuxlibertine] This works with MkIV and the beta from a few weeks back, haven't tried todays.

Hi Matthijs, thanks for this. I guess I could rename the font. I'm trying to include it in my Greek typescript and was hoping I could simply tell users "take the otf-files and copy them into your fonts/opentype directory." Maybe I'll just rename the files and include the font with the module, I think their license (OFL) allows that. Best Thomas
Hi Thomas,
thanks for this. I guess I could rename the font. I'm trying to include it in my Greek typescript and was hoping I could simply tell users "take the otf-files and copy them into your fonts/opentype directory." Maybe I'll just rename the files and include the font with the module, I think their license (OFL) allows that. Perhaps you could try to found out why it does not work with the original naming and get that bug fixed in luatex/context/wherever it is?
Alternatively, you could contact the authors of the linlibertine font and suggest changing the filenames of the fonts? It would also be in their interest to have their fonts work out-of-the-box. Gr. Matthijs

ConTeXt has a problem with the dots in the filename, underscores are no problem and you let it remain, to use the fonts on my system I removed only the version number but this is not a real solution and this bug was mentioned AFAIK long ago. You should make a entry in the bug tracker and hope Hans will solve it. Wolfgang
