Dear list,
I have what seems to be an OS- or ConTeXt version-specific issue with
mtxrun installing fonts.
I've been trying to add new truetype fonts (specifically Archivo ttf
files) on Arch Linux using the following command:
export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts//; mtxrun --script font --reload
And I've been using the following to check the installation:
mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=*archi*
It seems like a relatively new version of ConTeXt on Arch Linux
(2018.04.04 00:51) recognizes but does not install the ttf files located
in ~/.fonts/. The (shortened) output is:
fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'ttf'
fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.ttf'
fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'TTF'
fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.TTF'
fonts | names | 8 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0
duplicates, 8 hash entries added, runtime 0.006 seconds
But when I check the installation, no Archivo files are found.
Strangely, an older installation on Linux Mint (2015.05.18 12:26) has no
problems with the same ttf files:
fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.ttf'
fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'TTF'
fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.TTF'
fonts | names | 8 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0
duplicates, 8 hash entries added, runtime 0.000 seconds
And the check:
mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=*archi*
archivo archivomedium
/home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500.ttf
archivobold archivobold
/home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_700.ttf

archivosemibold archivosemibold
/home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600.ttf
archivosemibolditalic archivosemibolditalic
/home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600italic.ttf
I've been searching for a couple of days and I'm at a loss. Is there a
way to check why the identified system files aren't being installed?
Thanks,
Stan

Can you test the beta from the contextgarden?

Hi Hans,

The beta works with no problems, thanks!
I have also played around with my older installation some more and it
seems like the original problem was related to the font cache.
I have previously tried deleting the cache (with no effect) using:
mtxrun --script cache --erase --fonts
However, I have just now realized that running the same command with
sudo deleted a different cache (/var/... vs /home/...):
sudo mtxrun --script cache --erase --fonts
Once both caches were deleted, the fonts were identified and installed
with no problems.
I'm not sure how to recreate this issue with the beta install, but maybe
it was just a quirk of my particular system.
Cheers,
Stan
