In my previous message I wrote that I had the same problem. I solved it by these steps: in .bashrc: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts;$HOME/.local/share/fonts" cd $HOME/context rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . ./first-setup.sh --modules=all Note: In contextgarden the last command reads: sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all I guess that my font directory was never read by the install script because I use bash not sh. So make sure that your font directories are well exported whatever shell you use. I am not an expert in this. A second note: Ubuntu installs new fonts into the directory $HOME/.local/share/fonts Maybe such a hint somewhere in the garden would help.
