Luaotfload v2.7
Release for this year’s TeX Live. Apart from the usual bugfixes, small improvements, pruning
of legacy code and general maintenance, the most important changes are:
- Update the fontloader code to Context 2016.04.19 17:16. As a consequence, Luatex’s
builtinfontloader
library is not used anymore because all the font handling has been
moved to the Lua end. - Font combinations: Using a new request syntax, virtual fonts can now be created on the
fly from other fonts by importing glyph sets A special case of this is specifying a fallback
font.
Many thanks to Hans Hagen for the smooth cooperation; also the input of @dohyunkim and
others on Github proved very valuable.
