Hi all,
I recently stumbled upon a problem in the legacy (non-Unicode) handling
of Truetype fonts that Luatex inherited from Pdftex.
The problem is in the file source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/font/writettf.c,
in the function ttf_write_OS2() on line 1313. This function returns an
error if the version of the OS/2 table in the font is greater than 3,
but recent versions of Opentype have added versions 4 and 5 of this
table. (And most font editors seem to use version 4 by default.)
This problem is of course easily fixed, and it has in fact already been
fixed in the original Pdftex code, see
<https://svn.tug.org:8369/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/web2c/pdftexdir/writettf.c?pathrev=63385&r1=63385&r2=63384>.
It would be great if this fix would be applied to Luatex as well.
Best regards,
Marc
