I solved the wierd messages by a brute force method.  I created a fresh
slackware partition and whatever I did wrong was eliminated. Now, down
to the fonts; the directory /usr/share/fonts and its subdirectories is
a standard place to put fonts on a Linux system. Most of my other
programs (Inkscape, Scribus) find those fonts without difficulty. I
checked my permissions in that directory and subdirectories and they
are not restrictive. I will link those fonts to a directory that
Context searches. I just wonder why it worked before and not now.
