ConTeXt not finding fonts in OSFONTDIR

ConTeXt not finding fonts in OSFONTDIR

[Alan Bowen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 830 bytes --]

ConTeXT does not seem to be finding the fonts that I have in my OSFONTDIR,
which is set in my .bash_profile by the line
export OSFONTDIR=./Users/bowen1/Library/Fonts/

I have  clean-installed the latest beta (ConTeXt  ver: 2017.03.26 16:15
MKIV beta)

The file processes but substitutes fonts for what I want:


mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 10 files: latinmodern-math.otf,
lmroman10-bold.otf, lmroman10-bolditalic.otf, lmroman10-italic.otf,
lmroman10-regular.otf, lmroman12-regular.otf, lmromancaps10-regular.otf,
texgyretermes-math.otf, texgyrecursor-regular.otf,
texgyrepagella-regular.otf

Files worked until yesterday (with the latest beta). But then I began
experimenting with a Hieroglyphic font…..

I am running MacOS 10.12.4 (if that is relevant).

Any suggestions will be most welcome.

Alan

Alan,

I see two issues with your font directory.

1. The initial point in the path sets a relative path.

   I guess you have to remove it to have an absolute path.

2. How about adding the path at the end of tex/setuptex?

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

Thanks, Pablo:

I have revised the line in my bash profile to read
export OSFONTDIR=/Users/bowen1/Library/Fonts/
and the problem persists—assuming that I have the absolute path correct.

As for adding the path at the end of tex/setuptex,  I do not know how to do
this. I see in setuptex.csh that this is a TODO.

Sorry, add another slash to to the final slash and put inside quotes,
such as in:

    export OSFONTDIR="/Users/bowen1/Library/Fonts//"

Open tex/setuptext, go to the end of the file, hit Enter twice and copy
the line above.

Now it comes the unorthodox part: remove tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/.

Run "source tex/setuptex" and "mtxrunjit --generate".

After that, compuile the ConTeXt source file you want.

Thank you, Pablo! The font files have been discovered and the source files
now process as they should. You are a lifesaver—this book may still see the
light of day!

Glad to read it helped, Alan.

May we know which book you are working on?

Yes, Indeed. It is *Hellenistic Astronomy: The Science and Its Contexts*
(Brill).
