Re: mwe (font proble) SOLVED

Solved.  Well almost.  I do know that it's an access problem of some sort.
I used 'font-manager' to look at fonts and it showed  'DejaVu Math Tex Gyre' as "disabled"
For su is shows the font as usable.
When context is run su, it compiles successfully.
So the fonts are there.  The example does work, but, not for me as user.
I for some reason have the some fonts disabled.
I'll figure out how to enable them.

Thank you all for your time.  I'll post back when I know what to do in case any future user has this problem.

Thank you

I have a feeling that the stand along install is missing some vital part of the installation regarding fonts, and that it's not noticed by the majority of you since those items are still on your system from legacy versions.

Most likely, you installed context using `su` or `sudo`. It is possible that the directory where the fonts are installed are not readable by the user. 

The simple work-around is to install context as a regular user so that you have the permissions to read the font files.

... or at least open permissions.

I could imagine the real culprit is the cache tree (i.e. its permissions).
