Is there a script which can be called font-win.tex, which describes all OS-shipped fonts on Windows platform? If not, why? :o) Best, Vyatcheslav

IIRC, every Windows platform ships with a slightly different list. There are the 12 basic TimesNewRoman, Arial and Courier fonts, but not all versions of those fonts have the same glyph repertoire. For Hans, this would be a useful addition to mtx-fonts: mtxrun --script=fonts --list --tree=\$OSFONTDIR Best wishes, Taco

That's not a reason why we can't ship typescript files for Windows and Mac. We still have type-msw with typescripts for Verdana and Arial and type-xtx with typescripts for the Mac (a lot of them for XeTeX only). I think it makes sense to provide two new files type-win for fonts included in Windows Vista and type-mac for Mac OS (are .dfont fonts working in LuaTeX 0.40). Wolfgang

That would be nice, but I am not sure I will get around to implementing it (besides time constraints, it is never easy to develop for a platform one doesn't actually have). It would be nice if there was a volunteer Best wishes, Taco

I thought this because you mentioned it in the announcement for 0.31.0 (as point on your todo list). Wolfgang

I know, I know. Foot in mouth etc.

BTW, how the multiplatformity is handled now? Is there a "regular multiplatform build farm"? Do developers use remote access to computers with platforms they do not have at home (if no - due to lack of hardware or interest)? And what are the platforms blessed to be owned by developers? Sincerely, Michail

In a way. Luatex runs piggyback on the context garden distribution. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Supported_platforms (although that page may be a little bit outdated) Also, once a year we sync with texlive (that adds the somewhat outlandish AIX and hpux, as well as OpenBSD on i386).
