In my Linux home folder I have the usual “~/.fonts/” folder in which I
have put subfolders “~/.fonts/opentype/” and “~/.fonts/truetype/”.
Inside those subfolders I would like font families to have their own
subfolders. When I set the font search path by running
export
OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts/opentype;$HOME/.fonts/truetype"
from the command line
followed by
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
only the fonts in the /truetype/ subfolders are recognised. This means I
have to put all my opentype fonts directly into the /opentype/ folder.
On Stackexchange I found a solution
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/209705/context-system-font-search-path
which says that putting “//” after the folder made the search recursive,
but neither
export
OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts/opentype//;$HOME/.fonts/truetype//"
nor
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts//"
works for me.
What am I missing? (Typo maybe?)
Being able to put opentype font families into subfolders as well would
be a great help to keep a clear view of all my fonts.
Greetings Jörg

what OSFONTDIR paths get reported (the reported paths should show what
gets scanned for what)
does
$HOME/.fonts//
work

Hi Jörg,
it seems that // makes the search recursive.
And you have to force the font cache generation:
mtxrun —script font —reload —force
I hope ith works,
Pablo

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

Hi Jörg,
at least to avoid to run that again and again, I think you could add
that at last line of tex/setuptex.
BTW, do you have a ~/.fonts/truetype/ directory? And does ConTeXt load
fonts from that directory without problems?
Could it be that you have an issue with permissions in the
~/.fonts/opentype/ directory?
What about creating a new directory with another name and moving your
fonts there?
I think it may be an issue with permissions.
Just in case it helps,
Pablo

I tried to put the subfolders into a folder ~/fonts/ instead of
~/.fonts/ – same result :-(
ls -la returns drwxr-xr-x for ~/.fonts/ as well as for
~/.fonts/opentype/ and ~/.fonts/truetype/

Just did a complete reinstall and now the subfolders work. Also makes
manual uninstall of fonts much more convenient.
