    I have submitted a bug report github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/164 Restoring the previous version solves the issue (temporarily).

    @egreg Delete the font cache and call luaotfload -u on the command line to rebuild it manually. Then it should work again. See also here github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/156

    @UlrikeFischer Sorry, but this is by no means an acceptable way of doing things. Users should not be required to do mysterious and undocumented maneuvers. What cache should I remove? Getting an unusable system after an update is not nice, is it? Your situation was different, as you seemed to be testing a beta version.

    @egreg: Run luaotfload-tool --help and you will get the pathes of the font caches. Delete the files there manually. You could also try luaotfload-tool --cache=purge oder --cache=erase.

    @JuriRobl: Yes I meant all the font cache related files. Imho the important files to delete are the files in \texlive\2013\texmf-var\luatex-cache\generic\names, but it is probably a good idea to remove font related files too. Also I just tested the update: After removing the files in \names and running luaotfload-tool --update everything worked fine again.

You mention you use TeXLive. Until a bugfix to the luaotfload package is pushed to the CTAN, you may want to issue the command

sudo tlmgr restore luaotfload 31286

to revert to the previous version, numbered 2.3a, of this package. (The recent buggy version, numbered 2.4, has CTAN/TeXLive number 32538.)
