LuaLaTeX does not use the correct font shape.

The following minimal example

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{DejaVu Serif}
\setsansfont{DejaVu Sans}
\setmonofont{DejaVu Sans Mono}

\listfiles

\begin{document}
    This is a Test.

    \textbf{This is a Test.}

    \textsf{This is a Test.}

    \textsf{\textbf{This is a Test.}}

    \texttt{This is a Test.}
\end{document}

compiled with TexLive 2013 results in the following document:

Result of Compilation

Instead of using normal DejaVuSans, ExtraLight shape is embedded into the document. But the correct bold font is used.

Compiling this document with TexLive 2012, the correct fonts are used.

Edit:

After a reinstallation of TexLive 2013 from a DVD everything worked as expected.

Then I updated the luaotfload-package (30701 -> 31286) and the error was there again.

While running LuaLaTeX I got the following message:

luaotfload | db : Version mismatch; expected 2.207, got 2.204
luaotfload | db : Force rebuild
luaotfload | db : Version mismatch; expected 2.207, got 2.204
luaotfload | db : Force rebuild(load luc: /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/fonts/otf/dejavuserif.luc)

This was repeated multiple times (for every dejavu-font on my system, as it seems) and happend every time I run LuaLaTeX.

With luaotfload-tool --force --update -v I rebuilt the fonts database and the next run of lualatex was without those forced rebuilds. But sadly, the output is still the same.

  • I get correct output both with TeX Live 2012 and 2013

    The dev version of luaotfload has some tweaks to the font matching. On my machine it picks the correct fonts: i.imgur.com/5t61jDR.png Aug 26, 2013 at 8:49

    Works fine for me too (miktex + TL13 on windows 7) Aug 26, 2013 at 9:37
  • I even deleted luaotfload-names.lua so that luaotfload had to rebuild the font names database, but the result was the same.

    I reinstalled TexLive 2013 from a DVD and the problem was gone. Sadly after I updated my TexLive installation, I face the same problem again.

Okay, the problem was not with TexLive at all.

I reinstalled ttf-dejavu (I'm working on an Ubuntu-machine) and now everything works like a charm.
