ConTeXt Minimals: How to install fonts?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 629 bytes --]

Dear ConTeXt folks,


I want to use Neo Euler (euler-otf) and was wondering if there is an
option for `first-setup.sh` to install fonts? What is the recommended
way to install fonts? Using a GNU/Linux distribution should I use those
tools to install fonts?

I read [2], [3] and [4] but could not find a definite way besides
copying the files to the corresponding directories. 


Thanks,

Paul

If OpenType fonts are not in distribution, you have two options:

a) Install them on your system and make sure that OSFONTDIR variable
is properly set (you need to set it manually, either in texmfcnf.lua
under texmf-local or in top folder; or you need an environmental
variable)

b) Put the font under texmf-local/fonts/opentype/<whatever> or under
texmf-fonts (same location; you need to create texmf-fonts folder
first) or under ~/texmf (again, same substructure).

Option (a) is not too well tested.

I just have 

export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"

in my .bashrc and absolutely no problems.
