[tex-live] [TeXLive 2013 pretest] fontspec won't load local fonts in subdirectories

[Karl Berry]

Thanks for the report ...

    ! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
    ! The font "EBGaramond12-Regular.otf" cannot be found.

This is a misleading message.  It would be better to distinguish "font
not found" from "font found, but cannot be loaded".  Will?

    . fontspec info: "no-scripts"
    . Font EBGaramond12-Regular.otf does not contain any OpenType `Script'
    . information.

I cannot know without lots of checking whether that is an issue with
fontspec, lualatex, luatex (doubtful), or the font itself (doubtful),
but it's not an issue with kpathsea.  Will, Elie/Phillip?

        fonts : unknown font '.', loading aborted
    so the issue appears to be with path separators.

Huh?  Doesn't jibe with the msgs above.  Baffled.

    since kpathsea had an update just before this issue
    appearance, I do suspect it.

I'm not sure what platform you are on, but packages get updated for many
reasons.  The actual binaries haven't been updated for a while.

$ kpsewhich EBGaramond12-Regular.otf
