Hello, While luatex was compiling fonts, I noticed some warnings. I suspect they are harmless, but I'd better report them. ... report >> fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix ttf report >> fontnames: 101 system files identified, 370 hash entries

Mostly harmless. It's a side-effect of converting some of the strings in the TrueType name table with a "restrained" version of iconv that ships with Fontforge and it does not indicate anything about the font itself (apart that it's probably a Japanese font, in that case ;-). I would say you can ignore these warnings completely. Arthur

I've actually started trying to fix that once, but lost interest halfway through. Best wishes, Taco
