Thanks. Will.

I didn't remember this (I have been using XeLaTeX for almost 4 years and 
I forgot how to set fonts in LaTeX :-)).

Not using luatex-fonts.tex, since I don't really know how it works.

Symbolic links seemed to do the job in order to find the fonts, but 
besides from that I'm afraid that *nothing else works* properly (no 
ligatures, no font switching, no proper hyphenation in German, ß in crm 
family, no copying and searching text with accents or umlauts [áñö]...).

Even microtype contains undefined control sequences that render it 
unusable with LuaTeX (I wonder how can this be used with pure LuaTeX).

I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the next TeXLive release.

Just in case I'm totally wrong or missing everything ;-), my sample is 
at http://www.ousia.tk/basic-lualatex.tex (with 
http://www.ousia.tk/basic-lualatex.pdf, 
http://www.ousia.tk/basic-lualatex.log and http://www.ousia.tk/eu2lmr.fd).

Thanks for yoru help,


Pablo
