I just asked, because I couldn't find an environment v= ariable with that name. Even after "setuptex.bat" typing "echo %OSFONTDIR%"= did only print "%OSFONTDIR%" and not a list of paths, as I expected. There are defaults baked into the binaries. If you don't set the environmen= t variable, you get the built-in defaults. That's generally how things work= on Unix.

From the point of view of ConTeXt/LuaTeX use, there's no need for = the fonts to be installed in Windows; you just need to have all the files s= omewhere that OSFONTDIR (or the default font paths) will point.

I would expect, that = the rsfs directory in texmf-fonts\fonts should be enough, as mtxrun clearly= searches there and all the files are there, too. I don't understand the pr= oblem here. Hmm, that *would* explain my problem with getting GhostScript's Type 1 font= s working... I must investigate further! > - If the .pfm and .pfb files are sufficient for Windows, why does mtxrun = specifically search for .afm files and not also for .pfm? Probably because mtxrun (and the rest of ConTeXt and LuaTeX) are written fo= r Unix and ported to Windows, and Unix uses .afm files for metrics. (Except= OS X, which is different for historical reasons.) That and .afm files are much easier to work with because they're text files. But it might not be a bad idea for LuaTeX to automatically perform a pfm2af= m conversion and cache the converted files when necessary, and probably not= that hard to code. On the other hand, Type 1 fonts are legacy at this poin= t, so it might not be worth it. mathew ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
