The immediate incentive came from last week's TeX Live update of jfontmaps into ptex-fontmaps: among the changes was the mention of Sierra Japanese fonts toppanbunkyu-sierra. I'd been hoping to prepare it ever since Sierra went to Public Beta, but couldn't find the time. > As a New Year treat, here is an update of my macOS font catalog for Sierra. There is absolutely no need to answer this message, and I won't have the time nor opportunity to pursue the matter anyway. I'm forwarding this in case it can be useful to you at some point. In texmf.cnf then running 'luaotfload-tool -update -force' allows LuaTeX to use them. OSFONTDIR=/System/Library/Assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font3 They are then installed (on my setup at least) inside /System/Library/Assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font3/. They are downloaded from Apple when requested by the user or by an app.

Sierra introduces a new 'downloadable font asset' category, of fonts which are referenced by the OS but not installed. With 2.7, only two fonts crash it, and these are malformed. With 2.6, a number of fonts crashed LuaTeX.

As a rule, luaotfload v2.7 fares much much better with the macOS fonts than v2.6. Two conclusions in it are of direct relevance to luaotfload, and I thought might interest you: It's mostly about a systematic testing of the fonts in macOS 10.12 (Sierra) with both XeTeX and LuaTeX.
