+Luaotfload is an adaptation of the ConTeXt font loading system for the Plain
+and LaTeX formats. It allows OpenType fonts to be loaded with font features
+accessible using an extended font request syntax while providing compatibility
+with XeTeX. By indexing metadata in a database it facilitates loading fonts by
+their proper names instead of file names.

 provided by this package.
