I *never* use(d) Latin Modern. In *no* document.

In fact I only started to use LaTeX at all when it became possible to
use different (OTF) typefaces together with Microtype.

The bug that I described is found hundreds of times by Google in dozens
of LaTeX "forums", mailinglists, newsgroups, web sites etc. all over the
world. And it seems to keep re-surfacing like the monster of Loch Ness,
in a totally unpredictible way.

And it's always the same: After some update of the lualatex package,
luaotfload complains it can't find lmodern, even if the document does
not at all use lmodern.

The minimal document was *empty*. And of course I have work to do, so I
just ran that update tool manually and got on. So there are no log
files any more.

I never use "system" fonts. All my OTF typefaces are in texmf-local.

And again: The text document was *empty*. No reference to *any* typeface
at all, no content.

Sincerely,
