Noto CJK font issue with LuaLaTeX

[Václav Haisman]

I am seeing an issue with NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc when I try to use it in LuaLaTeX:

    </usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc(NotoSansCJKtc-Regular:3)

    !LuaTeX error (file /usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc): sfnt: table not found...

The same document is using Noto Sans Tamil and Noto Sans fonts and they just work.

Hi Václav,

Thanks for your report. Did some googling, and found:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/258644/how-can-i-use-opentype-collection-font-with-fontspec-package-and-luatex

Think it's related; looks like the LuaTeX version matters.

Please let us know whether this helps. If not, I think this is an upstream issue at first hand, i.e. it should better be reported to LuaTeX (or possibly Google, who provides the Noto Sans CJK fonts).

@gunnarhj: This is the LuaLaTeX I am using:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (rev 5238)

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Ok, and in the first answer to the question I linked to, there is a statement that OpenType Collection fonts (OTC, i.e. the format we are using for Noto Sans CJK) can be handled only in LuaTeX beta-0.81.0.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

I see that new versions of the texlive-* packages are available in Yakkety. Upgrading to those might possibly fix the issue.
