The file mtxrun.lua contains the following check which sets default 
paths on Windows and Mac when no value for OSFONTDIR is set.

do
  local osfontdir=osgetenv("OSFONTDIR")
  if osfontdir and osfontdir~="" then
  elseif osname=="windows" then
   ossetenv("OSFONTDIR","c:/windows/fonts//")
  elseif osname=="macosx" then
ossetenv("OSFONTDIR","$HOME/Library/Fonts//;/Library/Fonts//;/System/Library/Fonts//")
  end
end
