[Tex/LaTex] LuaLaTeX: use System font Monaco on Mac OS X

fontsfontspecmac

I'd like to use the Mac OS X (.dfont) Monaco with LuaLaTeX. With this input file 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmonofont{Monaco}
\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
    foo
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}

I get the following error message:

luaotfload | Font names database not found, generating new one.
             This can take several minutes; please be patient.
luaotfload | Updating the font names database:

and this is what luatex --version tells me:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.64.0-2010111215

Now the question is: what do I need to do in order to use Monaco with LuaLaTeX?

Best Answer

I don't have a mac, but on d.c.t.t. someone had problems with Monaco too and if I did understand him right the source of the problem was the installation place: Monaco was in "the library folder in the systemfolder" while fonts which worked were "outside" the system folder.

Addition: You could try to change in otfl-luat-dum.lua the line 59 (probably) from truetype dictionary to truetype fonts:

-    dfont = "truetype dictionary",
+    dfont = "truetype fonts",

You could also try the version of luaotfload from the "unstable" branch (https://github.com/khaledhosny/luaotfload/tree/unstable). (I got it about two weeks ago and it seems to work fine.) Put it in a local texmf-tree where you can easily remove it if something goes wrong or when it becomes official.

I forgot: If you want to try the unstable version you will perhaps have to correct two things: In otfl-luat-dum.lua line 77 is missing an "s". Correct is

 found = kpse.find_file(name,"other text files")

And in fontspec.lua you will have to replace every fonts.ids by fonts.identifiers
