Very recent breakage luatex85.sty and cmap.sty

[Maximilian Nöthe]

Hi,

To chime in a bit: sphinx should probably adjust its templates depending 
on tex engine used.

For xelatex and lualatex you most probably want to use fontspec / 
unicode-math for encoding and font handling
instead of inputenc/fontenc/cmap.

Cheers
Max
