Dear all,
New versions of luaotfload and fontspec have recently been uploaded to
CTAN, and the next test release of TeX Live 2010 will contain support
for using system fonts in LuaLaTeX. (Apologies to those who get this
message twice.)
Previous users of fontspec will be familiar with the process, but there
are some changes in fontspec for LuaLaTeX compared to its XeLaTeX
counterpart. For those interested, I've written about the biggest
changes here:

To date, there has been very little testing of the new version of
fontspec, especially with OpenType font loading in LuaTeX. Any testing
you would like to perform would be greatly appreciated, especially
running the mkluatexfontdb script in the luaotfload package and then
attempting to access system fonts in LuaLaTeX with fontspec.
(E.g., \usepackage{fontspec}...\setmainfont{Georgia} )
Suggestions and (especially) bug reports most appreciated.
Many thanks,
-- Will
