Someone some time ago suggested this:

OSFONTDIR="$TEXMFHOME/dummy_for_fonts"
export OSFONTDIR

put it in your .bashrc folder or whatever shell you are using and make an empty folder dummy_for_fonts in $TEXMFHOME.

That is also one of the thoughts I had… 
For an intermediate solution, where can I disable the searching of the os-fonts, ie.disabling the OSFONTDIR variable?
