Is there any limit for size of font? no. Can you write down your steps for installation, so I can reproduce the problem on my box?

1) mkdir /usr/local/context && cp justtex.zip linuxtex.zip /usr/local/context 2) cd /usr/local/context && unzip justtex.zip && unzip linuxtex.zip 3) add line to "setuptex" (TMP=~./context_tmp) 4) cd ./tex && sh setuptex 5) set PATH variable to have this on first place: /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin 6) mktexlsr&& luatools --generate && texmfstart texexec --make --all --luatex 7) export TEXMFCACHE='/tmp' && export TEXMFCNF='/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' && export TEXMF='{/usr/local/context/tex/texmf,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-fonts,/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-extra}' 8) copy latin modern fonts from lm.zip to /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/fonts/ 9) luatools --generate && luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en file "experiment.tex": % file start \starttext Hello world!

only a few fonts seem to be okay, some crash luatex, some are not loaded

You mean some fonts are somewhat bad or luatex can't handle them? ZS

luatex cannot load them (or even crashes) i.e. the fontforge 2 reader cannot read them; maybe the fonts are invalid

Recent version of fontforge(20070723) can read DejaVuSans.ttf without any trouble. I also tried to tranform it to *.otf using fontforge - no problem. Older version(200703??) worked too. ZS
