Ok , I changed the subject: I just installed ConTeXt minimals, but my fonts are not found now: "define fonts > font with name Barnard-Oblique is not found" font files are there, but some how context can't see them. I ran "context --generate" and got lines like this: MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-fonts' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-local' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-linux' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-context and also ran "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" and got lines like this: MTXrun | fontnames: scanning /home/ciro/context/tex/texmf for AFM files MTXrun | fontnames: 3323 entries found, 0 AFM files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.ttf MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix TTF MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.TTF MTXrun | fontnames: 639 system files identified, 39 skipped, 39 duplicates, 600 hash entries added My fonts are in $HOME/.fonts (lunix/ubuntu) I don't use typescripts. I use \definefontsynonym [baob] [file:Barnard-Oblique] [features=default] what should I do? thank you Ciro
