fc-cache -v -f works fine on MacOS aswell as on Linux; try some command like this one : fc-list : file family |grep \/Library which list all fonts and their location

You’re right !

 context, latex, mtxrun, mtxrun.lua are installed in /Users/xxx/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin … I’ve forgotten that CTX doesn’t exist no more since it replacement by Luametatex ! I still use ConTeXt MKIV ...

I thought that all personal fonts should be added in texmf-fonts ? 

By the way, it might be useful to have . setuptex command. How to deal with such a situation, when mtxrun command doesn’t work ?
