Re: font search path and subfolders

["Jörg Weger" <joerg73.muc@googlemail.com>]

I still get (while using subfolders in ~/.fonts/opentype/)


	!LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading ()
	 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

	mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1


after having run


	export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts//"


and Pablo’s proposal


	mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force


although a lot happens after latter command.

Running


	mtxrun --script fonts --list --all


lists much more fonts now than before, but the PDF rendering still fails.

After I move the OTF files from the subfolders to the parentfolder 
~/.fonts/ and run


	mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force


again, the PDF just renders fine.

Any ideas?


Greetings Jörg
