There is the font loader code of context. There is the generic font loader code somewhere deep in the context tree. I have tried to use all of them: All of them are different. None is really documentated, none is format independant and none is written in a way which allows people to add extensions or improvements. > On the contrary I have tried several times to read the Indic > OpenType specification but I still understand nothing.

It will be imho impossible without a sound starting point and real contact to the developer of luatex. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
