OSFONTDIR defined in texmf.cnf not used

OSFONTDIR defined in texmf.cnf not used

[Exp]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 318 bytes --]

Hi all,

I've put `OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts` in ~/.../texlive/2019/texmf.cnf,
but `mtxrun --script fonts --reload` refuses to look it up, even though
`kpsewhich --expand-path '$OSFONTDIR'` gives /usr/share/fonts.

`export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts` does work, but doesn't feel very tex-y.

Any help is appreciated.

Context (MkIV) uses variables defined in texmfcnf.lua and not texmf.cnf. 
You can copy the one that comes with texlive (should be in $TEXMF/web2c 
directory) to $TEXMFHOME/web2c and edit it.

You can check the value of a variable using

mtxrun --expand-var OSFONTDIR
mtxrun --expand-path OSFONTDIR
mtxrun --resolve-path OSFONTDIR

It works, thanks!

But the mentioning of texmf.cnf and OSFONTDIR in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Custom_Configuration&oldid=24290
is indeed a bit misleading though. Hope someone could fix it.

The environment variable OSFONTDIR, to be set in .bashrc, .profile or 
the like, works as well.

There’s unfortunately still a lot of outdated information in the wiki.
But it’s a wiki, you can fix it yourself.
Why do you refer to an old revision of that page?

Best regards, Hraban

I can indeed edit the wiki and in fact I did four days ago, but for this
specific problem which just confused me,
I don't think I am the correct one to be able to guarantee that an edit of
it is necessary a fix.

Why do you refer to an old revision of that page?

It's not an old version. It's a permanent link to the most recent version
at the time of writing.
