Thanks for the feedback. I’d be interested in seeing what happened. Could you please send me the offending file? It can be of help when determining What we need on org-mode.
BTW, do you have any org file that you export to PDF where you could export using #+LATEX_COMPILER: lualatex And see what happens? I’m on Ubuntu2204, Fedora41, FreeBSD-14.2 and macOS and had no problem with ‘lualatex’. All are texlive-full installations AFAICT This is why I ventured to (re)start the discussion.
