I currently have only one, in C:\Documents and
Settings\DCN\.texlive2009\texmf-var\luatex-cache\latex\names.

I deleted the empty one in the sys directory, discussed on the luatex list.

To ascertain which file is used, I renamed otfl-names.lua, getting me:
---
! LuaTeX error cannot open C:/Documents and Settings/DCN/.texlive2009/texmf-var
/luatex-cache/latex/names/otfl-names.lua: No such file or directory.
---

To trouble you some more, some other fonts I am trying to use give me
even more trouble.

Say i request Adobe Caslon Pro, "\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Adobe
Caslon Pro}", I get:
---
! LuaTeX error ...9/texmf-dist/tex/luatex/luaotfload/otfl-font-nms.lua:76: atte
mpt to compare nil with number.
<to be read again>
                   \let
l.7 \setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Adobe Caslon Pro}

--- otfl-names.lua
{
   ["checksum"]="DB739B38957B742116B5C8DD0F0559E7",
   ["familyname"]="Adobe Caslon Pro",
   ["filename"]="acaslonpro-bold.otf",
   ["fontname"]="ACaslonPro-Bold",

    ["family"]="adobecaslonpro",
    ["fullname"]="ACaslonPro-Bold",

   ["slant"]=0,

  }

Fonts are all in subdirectories of
C:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\opentype\adobe. fc-cache can find them
(through a local.conf, as recommended by Akira Kakuto, and seem to be
indexed properly my mkfontnamedb.lua, as they appear in
otfl-names.lua.

I thus seem to have multiple weird problems (this and the
mkfontnamedb.lua silently dying in the middle of its operation when
the --sys switch is given) with otfl, how much is it tested on windows
(and is there any reason things should work different on windows)? No
worries, I'm just curious and want to try things out. Hope the bug
reports are not coming at a too early stage of development ;)

Best,
Dee
