OSFONTDIR

[Mojca Miklavec <mojca.miklavec.lists@gmail.com>]

Dear Hans,

Some time ago the following code was working. On Mac it seems to have
no influence now (OSFONTDIR doesn't get "fixed"), but if I set it in
environment to the same string, it works.

local function check_configuration() -- not yet ok, no time for debugging now
   if os.env["OSFONTDIR"] then
      -- ok
   elseif os.type == "windows" then
      os.setenv("OSFONTDIR","c:/windows/fonts//")
   elseif os.type == "macosx" then
      os.setenv("OSFONTDIR","$HOME/Library/Fonts//;/Library/Fonts//;/System/Library/Fonts//")
   end
end

Can it be that setenv doesn't really set anything (it just sets it
locally to some variable) and then resolvers only look for proper
environmental or texmf.cnf variables?

I have an impression that that function has been removed from LuaTeX a
while ago, but I may be wrong.

Mojca
