using the latest context version luametatex on ubuntu 19.4

system          > ConTeXt  ver: 2019.08.24 22:50 MKIV beta  fmt:
2019.8.25  int: english/english
system          > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded


with the dijkstra.ttf font apparently seen:

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --name dijkstra
identifier        familyname   fontname   filename
                                                  subfont   instances

dijkstra          dijkstra     dijkstra   ~/.local/share/fonts/Unknown
Vendor/TrueType/Dijkstra/Dijkstra_Thin.ttf
dijkstranormal    dijkstra     dijkstra   ~/.local/share/fonts/Unknown
Vendor/TrueType/Dijkstra/Dijkstra_Thin.ttf
dijkstraregular   dijkstra     dijkstra   ~/.local/share/fonts/Unknown
Vendor/TrueType/Dijkstra/Dijkstra_Thin.ttf



context will complain that the font is unknown:

selectfont      > The requested font 'dijkstra' has no files for the
'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.


I assume i missed a critical step somewhere down the road.
any hints?

thanks
Floris

I have had the same problem.  Unlike Mark IV Context, LMTX does not seem to
recognize fonts outside its tree.  Maybe there's some option to tweak with.

The workaround I found was to copy the TTF files under
"{context-lmtx-root}/tex/texmf/fonts/truetype/public/" and run "context
--generate".

If you like to have mtxrun font commands to work properly, you need to
invoke "mtxrun --script font --reload" after that.

Hope this helps.

can the native font paths be symbolically linked into the lmtx font tree ?

Is there a description available as how to include all font paths of the
underlaying system (ubuntu) into the font awareness of the new
luametatex system so they can be used?
Apparently there is a difference between the older (works) and the newer
(does not work) system.

thanks
Floris
