The command “ mkluatexfontdb” creates a font database for LaTeX (or more concrete
the luaotfload package) but context has always used it’s own font database.
To update the font database for context you have to call “mtxrun --script fonts --reload”
but the script searches for system fonts only on windows and mac machines. When you’re
working on a linux system you have to set the “OSFONTDIR” variable first.
