Thanks for your reply, Alan. I must be missing something, because I think that adding /usr/share/fonts to your system would be simply ineffective.
And, as Luigi suggested, it is not always a very good idea to mix OS system fonts and TeX fonts. Currently, the user can achieve this if desired by setting OSFONTDIR.
Sorry, but I don’t get what you mean (neither I got what Luigi meant). I don’t mix system and TeX fonts. I mainly use system fonts with ConTeXt. I still don’t understand what could be wrong in using system fonts in ConTeXt (or mixing them with the ones that come in ConTeXt Standalone). I simply don’t get why OSFONTDIR is set for Windows and MacOSX users and not for Linux users. Which is the reason for this difference? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
