font directory for ConTeXt Standalone

font directory for ConTeXt Standalone

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

I have just installed the latest beta using ConTeXt Standalone. Many
thanks for the great work.

I have a question: the wiki explains that the system fonts should be set
in Linux with "export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Font-Dir).

It should be set after "# TODO: we could set OSFONTDIR on Mac for
example", but I'm afraid I don't have such a line on my tex/setuptex file.

Where should I set the export line?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

Thanks for reply, Luigi.

I'm afraid I don't understand you. I meant where I should write the
export line in the tex/setuptex file.

Thanks,

uh right. Try at the end.
Or you can try
$> source setuptex; export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"

or build your script in the same folder of setuptex
#/usr/bin/bash
source setuptex; export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"

Thanks for your reply. I'll wikify this.

Anywhere, it doesn't matter, but you should create your own file (copy
of setuptex or even just a single file with export
PATH=$PATH;/path/to/your/tex/binaries), else the changes will be
overwritten next time when you update.

On the other hand you can just as well set OSFONTDIR in .bash_profile,
.bashrc or whatever your system uses.
