Hi,

I tried to use the cwTeX fonts with MkIV and I can use them but ConTeXt is not able to save the font data and read the font for every run, this did work but it takes quiet some time to do this.

A attached the result from the terminal and the log file.

The font are available from the following page: http://cle.linux.org.tw/fonts/cwttf/baseline/

My example document is:

% engine=luatex

\definefont[cwheib][file:cwheib*default at 12pt]

\starttext \cwheib cwTeXHeiBold \stoptext

can you check if there's an tma file in the cache? and if so, if you can run texluac -s blabla.tma on it?

I will try this today evening. Wolfgang

I did this and I found also a file with the name cwheib.tma, you can see what I get after I made waht you told.

the problematic entry is below ["subtables"], every other subtable entry has the form

["subtables"]={ {

The font is a Macintosh-style TTF font (not OpenType). Unfortunately, these are not yet supported by luatex nor mkiv. The simple reason is that neither Hans nor me knows what those macintosh features are supposed to do. I'll try to make luatx at least serialize such fonts properly, but official support will be quite a while off. Best wishes, Taco
