Finding OSX fonts

Finding OSX fonts

[Meer, Hans van der]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 711 bytes --]

I tried in vain to list the MacOSX fonts in mtxrun.

In my .bashrc set:
OSFONTDIR=$HOME/Library/Fonts:/Library/Fonts:/System/Library/Fonts
export OSFONTDIR

Then issuing the following commands:
source ~/.bashrc
echo $OSFONTDIR
/Users/hansm/Library/Fonts:/Library/Fonts:/System/Library/Fonts
mtxrun --script fonts --list pattern="Comic*" --all
resolvers       | trees | analyzing '/Users/hansm/Documents/TeX/texmf'
identifier   familyname   fontname   filename   subfont   instances

Allthough there are definitely Comic fonts (such as Comic Sans MS.ttf) in directory /Library/Fonts these are not listed by mtxrun.

What is happening, or better, not happening here?

On MacOS, Terminal reads .profile. XQuartz xterm, though, reads .bashrc. In my .bashrc file, I have
  source ~/.profile

OK, --pattern instead of pattern. But then still nothing:

122 texmf: mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="Comic*" --all

resolvers       | trees | analyzing '/Users/hansm/Documents/TeX/texmf'
identifier   familyname   fontname   filename   subfont   instances

For me it worked (also on OSX), so it’s not the command that’s wrong.
--script font or fonts seems not the matter.

Did you refresh the database? 
i.e.
mtxrun --script font --reload
additionally try --force

The reload was necessary, indeed.
Do I then correctly understand that the mtxrun --list call is searching the ConTeXt internal fontbase and not the macOS system directly, as I had (innocently) expected it was doing?

Exactly. If ConTeXt can’t find a font, it sometimes tries to refresh the database on its own (I don’t know under which circumstances), and that can take a while. The database access is much faster.
For my huge font collection, refreshing can take several minutes...
