Description

If for some reason \curr@fontshape is not the really the shape of the currently selected font,
e.g. due to a missing shape, and LuaTeX is the used engine,
the expansion of '\curr@fontshape/\f@size' is not
the name of the font switch that needs to be checked. Example:

It would be more reliable to use \the\font to get
the name of the switch of the currently selected font.

Todos

  • Tests added to cover new/fixed functionality
  • Documentation if necessary
  • Code follows expl3 style guidelines

Minimal example demonstrating the new/fixed functionality

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{David CLM}
\begin{document}
\scshape % comment this line to see the effect
\ExplSyntaxOn
\fontspec_if_script:nTF{hebr}{yes}{no}
\end{document}

Note how this example returns true with LuaTeX but false with XeTeX.

This could happen if a shape is not found and substituted
