===== How to Know Where to Put Your Font File (Windows) =====
At the commandline, run this:
kpsewhich --var=TEXMFLOCAL
It will give you a directory, such as C:\texlive\texmf-local.
On that path you will find \fonts\truetype\public
This is where you put your fonts (you can use subfolders if you want to).
===== How to Add Fonts for Use with LuaLaTex (Windows) =====
- Locate your lualatex fonts folder (for example, C:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\truetype\public
- Place your font there (you can use a subfolder if you like)
- Now you have to tell lualatex that they are available. Open your commandline and run this command:
texhash
- Don't forget that in your tex file, you have to use \usepackage{fontspec}
- And, to actually call the font, do this within the \begin{document} section: \newfontface\MyFont{MyFont}
%or, to use it in just one place
\begin{center}\MyFont\huge{The Score Title}\end{center}
===== Updating an Existing Font =====
To update a font, you do the same thing you would if you want to add a font, except that you *first* have to erase lulatex's font cache, so you would do this:
luaotfload-tool --cache=erase
texhash
Running the luaotfload-tool --cache=erase command will erase the cache located at C:\texlive\2013\texmf-var\luatex-cache\. But don't worry, the next time you compile a tex file, lualatex will rebuid the cache automatically.
