Marcel Krüger submitted an update to the
luaotfload
package.
Version: 3.19 2022-02-24
License: gpl2
Summary description: OpenType ‘loader’ for Plain TeX and LaTeX
Announcement text:
* When used with LuaTeX 1.15.0 or newer, variable fonts are supported when using the harf shaper too. * A new algorithm for selecting fonts based on font family names allows to more reliably load fonts based on their family name. * The compiled font database gets compressed to reduce disk space and improve performance on newer systems. * Text automatically gets normalized to Unicode's NFC before shaping. This improves rendering for text written in decomposed forms for many fonts. This can be turned off by passing the -normalize font feature. * The fontloader has been synced with the context code from 2022-02-24. This fixes some broken rendering of TrueType based variable fonts. * A number of small bugfixes.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/luaotfload The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luaotfload/

luaotfload – OpenType ‘loader’ for Plain TeX and LaTeX
The package adopts the TrueType/OpenType Font loader code provided in ConTeXt, and adapts it to use in Plain TeX and LaTeX. It works under LuaLaTeX only.
