Can someone tell me please where the fonts directory of OpensSuse 10.3 (Kde)
lies, so I can add my fonts to my bash profile?
Thanks for your help.
Armando

Fonts are usually under /user/share/fonts/, some distros (like debian)
has a separate subdir "truetype" for TrueType fonts. Users may added
fonts under ~/.fonts as well.

I don't think this will work, since /usr/share/fonts and
/usr/share/fonts/truetype have multiple subdirs (per package) that has
the actuall fonts, does context look into subdirs as well or the top
dir only.
What about querying fontconfig about installed fonts (which I guess what
XeTeX does under linux) this allows calling the font by the actual font
name not filename.

When you has run
mtxrun --script font --reload
that file will be consulted too. After than you can access fonts by name
by using a name: prefix, so
name:mynamedfont
With
mtxrun --script font --list
you can see what fontnames are accepted.
