System font searching suddenly stopped

System font searching suddenly stopped

[Marco Pallante]

Hello,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm a novice ConTeXt user,
switching from LaTeX and
without so much time :(

I made some time ago a very small test document using the nice
Delicious font, which I
put in /usr/share/fonts/opentype/exljbris/ (under Debian). This is the
straightforward
document:

\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Delicious]
\mainlanguage [it]
\setupbodyfont [10pt]
\setupheadertexts []
\starttext
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
\stoptext

It worked without a problem, as the pdf remembered me. Now, I tried to
compile it
again, but it doesn't find the Delicious font anymore; on the
contrary, it doesn't find
system fonts anymore.

I followed the instructions in the TeX Live Guide, ran mtxrun --script
fonts --reload
and context --generate again, without any change. However, I noticed that the
mtxrun doesn't walk into the /usr/share/fonts directory, but only
inside those from
TeX Live.

Have you any idea of what's happening? If you need them I can attach the output
of any of these scripts.

Thank you very much for your help,

Marco

This solves partially the problem: now it takes the delicious font,
but as default
it uses the heavy weight and not the roman; the \bf command switches to bold
and \it to italic.

If I use \setmainfont[Delicious-Roman], it always uses the roman, and
the \bf and
\it commands doesn't change anything.

Moreover, even if it pickups Delicious, if I run the query
  $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=Delicious*
it gives an empty result.

did the (internal) names of those fonts change?

\starttypescript [serif] [delicious] [name]
     \setups[font:fallback:serif]
     \definefontsynonym [Serif]           [file:deliciousroman] 
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SerifBold]       [file:deliciousbold] 
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]     [file:deliciousitalic] 
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:deliciousbolditalic] 
[features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [delicious]
     \definetypeface [delicious] [rm] [serif] [delicious] [default]
     \definetypeface [delicious] [tt] [mono]  [dejavu]    [default]
     \definetypeface [delicious] [mm] [math]  [xits]      [default]
\stoptypescript

\setupbodyfont[delicious]

\starttext

\input ward

\stoptext

the regular font is delicious-roman which might confuse your setup

My typescripts package in the minimals have support for the delicious font but I defined it as sans.
