Subject: The best place to install fonts so it is discovered by mkiv?
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:12:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AE602C8.8050300@bredband.net> (raw)
According to an earlier and recent thread
http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20091021.090505.4153465c.en.html#20091021.090505.4153465c
that finally were solved, thanks to Wolfgang and also Aditya. Here is a
following question:
Is there some convention where to place files, documents, fonts, modules
and stuff?
It seems in my case that LuaTools wasn't able to find the fonts in
~./fonts or even /usr/share/fonts. Not either in my
minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/fonts/ directory
But I had to create texmf-project/fonts/.. to make context to discover
the fonts.
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex mentioned about setting
osfontdir=....
which I did in my my /home/user/.bash_profile linked to .bashrc
cat .bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:/home/janerik/bin
. ~/context/tex/setuptex
set OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts"
It seems to have no effect.
Very strange! :-(
Here is my output from Luatools --generate command
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/texmf
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-project
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-fonts
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-local
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-context
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-linux
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-extra
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf
LuaTools | fileio: scanning path /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-local
It seems to only search these directories.
All best
Janneman
