External fonts handling

External fonts handling

[Michał Goliński]

Dear list,

I have a bunch of fonts in my home directory in the .fonts subdirectory. 
After an update, I used to run:

OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts mtxrun --script fonts --reload

so that the font cache is regenerated. This workflow works in TeXLive, 
but recently fails in beta.

For the MWE:

\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Minion Pro]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 12pt]

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext

I get the following error:


$ context test.tex

But if I run context this way:

$ OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts context test.tex

everything works.

Has font handling changed in some subtle way recently?

Best regards
Michal

I've got a similar problem with EB Garamond installed in
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/ebgaramond

I tried all hints on contextgarden but could not get it to work.

In my previous message I wrote that I had the same problem.

I solved it by these steps:

in .bashrc:

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


cd $HOME/context

rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .

./first-setup.sh --modules=all


Note: In contextgarden the last command reads:

sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all

I guess that my font directory was never read by the install script
because I use bash not sh.

So make sure that your font directories are well exported whatever shell
you use. I am not an expert in this.


A second note:

Ubuntu installs new fonts into the directory

$HOME/.local/share/fonts

Maybe such a hint somewhere in the garden would help.


Ciao!
