[lltx] Use system font Monaco on Mac OS X

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

this is a repost/the same as http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7027/lualatex-use-system-font-monaco-on-mac-os-x

The answer I got "copy the font somewhere else" seems to me like a workaround. Wolfgang Schuster told me that with ConTeXt it is possible to use fonts from a system folder.

The post:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd like to use the Mac OS X (.dfont) Monaco with LuaLaTeX. With this input file

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmonofont{Monaco}
\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
    foo
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}

I get the following error message:

luaotfload | Font names database not found, generating new one.
             This can take several minutes; please be patient.
luaotfload | Updating the font names database:

and this is what luatex --version tells me:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.64.0-2010111215

Now the question is: what do I need to do in order to use Monaco with LuaLaTeX?
