Dear Hraban,

Even the general command to show all installed fonts :

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all

doesn't show the new fonts. I didn't use mtxrun --script font --reload 
--force

I'll install fonts in /texmf-fonts/fonts/data/ directory as you say.

Is it a good trick to create separate OTF and TTF etc. directories ?

Merci beaucoup !

JP
