Hmm, with Luatex I can use system fonts like in XeTeX. Am I right? yes, if you set up OSFONTDIR

I would like to set up OSFONTDIR, but I don't know how or where or when to do so. I've tried setting it in my bash profile, and that seems to have no effect. What is the correct procedure? (I'm on a Mac, if it matters.)

we can consider setting it up automatically but that can only be done when it's a stable location

Well, that would be excellent from my point of view, of course. But my question is much more simple: I only want to know, where and when do I type "OSFONTDIR=..."?

I've read many times that in order to use it I need to "set it up", but I actually don't know what "set it up" means in this situation.

It's a system variable. Under Linux you can set it up in your /home/YOUR_NICKNAME/.bashrc file, adding : export OSFONTDIR=THE_PATH_TO_YOUR_FONT_DIR At the end of the file. There's certainly the same under Mac.

On Mac that would mean putting export OSFONTDIR=$HOME/Library/Fonts:/Library/Fonts:/System/Library/Fonts to ~/.bash_profile, but since yesterday that is not needed any more unless you keep your fonts at some exotic locations. Mojca
