Hi Mojca and all,

As a matter of fact here is what I have in a file named "ok-lua" which  
is sourced upon loging in:

export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
export TEXMFCNF="{/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf/web2c/,/usr/local/gwTeX/}"
export TEXMF="{/Users/kavian/Library/texmf,/usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.local,/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs,/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.gwtex,/ 
usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive,/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/scripts/context/lua,/ 
usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base,/usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.texlive/tex/context/base}"
export OSFONTDIR="{/System/Library/Fonts;/Library/Fonts;/Users/kavian/ 
Library/Fonts}"

But despite this LuaTeX doesn't find any arabic, system wide font.  
(The shell I use is bash: would thi sbe a cause?).

Best regards: OK
