Fonts disappeared after updating ConTeXt

Fonts disappeared after updating ConTeXt

[Mika Ritola]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 829 bytes --]

Hello,

I just updated ConTeXt to the latest version (2009.11.13 12:45), and now all
the fonts I have installed on my system seem to have mysteriously
disappeared from ConTeXt's sight. Running "mtxrun --script fonts --list"
displays only the fonts that are installed in the ConTeXt directory. I'm
using Linux and fontconfig finds all the fonts just fine. Until now, I
haven't had any problems using the fonts on my system after an update
without any further actions. I did, however, run

luatools --selfupdate
mtxrun --selfupdate
luatools --generate
context --make

just to make sure that everything is up-to-date but that didn't make any
difference.

Have any font-related changes been made to ConTeXt in the past few weeks
(the previous version that I used was from maybe a month ago) or what could
be the cause of this?

Mika

Are you using minimals ?

Using the minimals without any further configuration efforts,
I have *never* been able to acces to my system installed fonts
(as seen by fc-list).
This has been, for a while now, on my list of tasks
to try to understand and to resolve,
so I am interested by this subject...

ConTeXt looks for system fonts only on Windows and Mac OS X (the paths are set in data-res.lua),
for others system you need the OSFONTDIR variable. When you want the same feature on Linux Hans
has to know where system fonts are stored and if these directories are the same on each distribution.

On Ubuntu Intrepid that would be /usr/share/fonts for the fonts shipped 
with the distribution, or installed via the repositories,  and 
$HOME/.fonts for user-installed fonts. Some distributions may use 
/usr/local/share/fonts, but I haven't tried that on Intrepid.

BTW, if you want Context to find _both_ directories make sure you set 
your OSFONTDIR in setuptex like this:

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

You have to use the semicolon instead of a colon, and don't forget the 
parentheses (found that in an old post by Khaled Hosny).

Cheers,

Peter Wüsten

Unfortunately, this is not sufficient, and thus refers us back to the original 
post by Mika.

Sorry, after running update.sh, context now finds the system fonts!

Be happy if it does that. Here it doesn't work at all :) :) :)

Hello all,

i think the problem was with the old LuaTeX 0.44. I updated 5 minutes ago and now all my files compile like a charm again with LuaTeX 0.45. Im so happy i could sing :-).

best regards
Bernhard

ConTeXt has worked here as well, but
    mtxrun --script fonts --list *
with or without the star complains with the devil 666 error.
