I have more that two path for my fonts:
- /usr/local/share/fonts
-/usr/share/fonts
When I do one path, it works fine; however, if I put two paths as follows:
export OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts
it does not pick up the fonts in both directories. Admitedly, this is my
fault, but could someone help out?
Thanks,
Bart

You could create a new directory, say:
/home/bart/context-os-fonts
and add (sym)links to /usr/local/share/fonts and /usr/share/fonts in
that (I myself have added extra symlinks inside /usr/share/fonts).
Best wishes,
Taco

Unfortunately, in a bash shell under Linux, the semi-colon (;) is used to
separate commands, so this sets the OSFONTDIR to /usr/local/share/fonts and
then tries to execute the command "/usr/share/fonts", which of course it
cannot do because it's a directory.

I should have escaped it, sorry:
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts"
