[lltx] Fwd: [tex-live] fontspec for LuaTeX

[Will Robertson]

Hi Elie, etc.,

I assume you're monitoring the tex-live list, but just in case not, see below.

I'm not exactly sure where the check for this should go.

Would it be enough to replace

        path = kpse.readable_file(path)

by
        path = kpse.readable_file(path) or ""

?

(I'm afraid I can't test this code path since I don't have a windows box.)

Cheers,
Will
