Don't use absolute paths in \definefontsynonym, when you use a local
folder for your font files set the path with \usefontpath.
%%%% begin snippet
\usefontpath [~/fonts/12/]
\starttypescript [serif] [garamond]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:EBGaramond-Regular.otf]
...
\stoptypescript
%%%% end snippet
