My understanding is that you can enter a comma-separated list of trees. The default is "TEXMFFONTS,TEXMFLOCAL,TEXMFEXTRA,TEXMFMAIN". That suggests to me that the --ro=TEXMFMAIN defaults in the type-tmf.dat file probably should go away, as 1) they get in the way of over-rides at the CLI, and 2) it's covered by the current default, anyway. adam % texfont --help TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 --fontroot=path : texmf destination font root (default: /usr/local/tetex/share/texmf.local) --rootlist=paths : texmf source roots (default: TEXMFFONTS,TEXMFLOCAL,TEXMFEXTRA,TEXMFMAIN) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
