I just moved to Win 10 (coming from Win 7) with a fresh system and installed Context.

My problem: The manual installed fonts are not stored in "Windows/Font" like before, but in "AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Fonts" – the default Fonts, which came with windows, are still there in Windows/Font.

If I change OSFONTDIR to the new path and execute "mtxrun --script font --reload" after that, the new fonts are found by Context, but that seems no good way, because now the default-fonts are not found.

How to solve this situation? How can I prevent Win10 from installing manual installed fonts into this other path and instead install it into "Windows/Font"directly? (Other programs like Corel etc. have no problems finding those other fonts, regardles of there location or OSFONTDIR.)

Another solution: Give Context two pathes to look for fonts, is that possible?

OSFONTDIR is like other PATH variables, it can contain several paths, separated by ; (at least on Linux and OSX, maybe it’s : on Windows). My OSFONTDIR is rather lengthy to include my collections of commercial and free fonts (beware, that makes ConTeXt slow). in what sense slow ... more fonts means of course a longer identification time when the database is made but that happen seldom (unless you refer to an unknown font in your document in which case a scan happens, but that should then be fixed in the style)
