Woe is me :<( mkiv misbehaving.

Woe is me :<( mkiv misbehaving.

[john Culleton]

After fiddling with some unrelated issues involving a python program
called makehuman my well behaved context mkiv job is acting up. It
finds all kinds of unrelated modules but no longer can find the OTF
fonts I use in /usr/share/fonts/OTF.

here is a brief sample of some of the output I get now:
---------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

I have added some python things. Does MKIV use python in any way?

The directory is not a standard one, so I presume you have modified some
variables.
What
does
mtxrun --variables
say ?

Maybe you have forgotten
mtxrun --generate

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.

You have set the directories with the OSFONTDIR variable:

That worked!  still don't know why I lost access to those fonts but no
matter. And after some mtxrun executions the weird messages went away
too. So I can revert to my original partition which saves a lot of
labor.  

Most sincere thanks to all who answered.
