Hi, I cannot use xits fonts if they are placed in $HOME/.fonts. For example, if I use \setupbodyfont[xits] I get a series of messages define fonts > forced type otf of xits-regular not found define fonts > font with name xits-regular is not found define fonts > unknown font xits-regular, loading aborted define fonts > unable to define xits-regular.otf as \*xits11ptrmtfc* I also tried to use the fonts with simplefonts. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[XITS] \setmathfont[XITS Math] falls back to LM math while \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[XITS] \setmathfont[XITS] gives XITS-Regular as the math font (and not XITS-Math). Other fonts in $HOME/.fonts, in particular cambria, work with both methods. \setupbodyfont[cambria] and \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Cambria] \setmathfont[Cambria] both work. Here is the output of mtxrun --script font --list "cambria*" --all cambria cambriabold /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriab.ttf cambriabold cambriabold /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriab.ttf cambriabolditalic cambriabolditalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriaz.ttf cambriaitalic cambriaitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriai.ttf cambriamath cambriamath /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambria.ttc index: 0 cambriamathnormal cambriamath /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambria.ttc index: 0 cambrianormal cambriaitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriai.ttf and mtxrun --script font --list "xits*" --all brushscriptxitalic brushscriptxitalic BrushScriptX-Italic.afm venturissansadfexitalic venturissansadfexitalic VenturisSansADFEx-Italic.otf venturissansadfno2exitalic venturissansadfno2exitalic VenturisSansADFNo2Ex-Italic.otf xits xits /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-regular.otf xitsbold xitsbold /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-bold.otf xitsbolditalic xitsbolditalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-bolditalic.otf xitsitalic xitsitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-italic.otf xitsmath xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsmathnormal xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsmathregular xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsnormal xitsitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-italic.otf xitsregular xits /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-regular.otf Any idea what is going on. If I move the fonts inside $TEXMF everything works. Aditya
