Description :
LuaTeX is an extended version of pdfTeX using Lua as an embedded
scripting language. The LuaTeX projects main objective is to provide
an open and configurable variant of TeX while at the same time
offering downward compatibility. sp binary the full luatex suite is not required, therefore there is a method to download only that file from the official FreeBSD repos?
