Hi,

I'm interested in packaging a ConTeXt project in a self-contained way, so
that the environment/component/project .tex files, the bibliography .bib
file(s), and fonts used for typesetting are all provided in one place. (The
goal is that others can generate the PDFs themselves from the source files
as long as they have a sufficiently recent version of ConTeXt installed.)
The usual ConTeXt directory structure makes sense for most of this, but it
doesn't address the possibility of accessing fonts locally. I think I could
do this with a script that temporarily sets the OSFONTDIR variable to the
local fonts directory and then invokes ConTeXt to typeset the project-level
file, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this from within
ConTeXt. Specifically, is there a way to specify a font via a local path
with font setup commands in an environment file?

Thank you!

Joey
