Re: [NTG-context] LMTX and system fonts

Hi Pablo, I don't know if this may help, but in principle in order to use systme fonts in LMTX you should invoke the mtxrun in the bin directory of your installation of LMTX. For me, working on MacOS, the following worked fine: /context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun -generate and then /context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script font --reload Best regards: OK

[...] In Windows (I installed it again from scratch yesterday), system fonts (from c:/windows/fonts/) are simply ignored (I don’t know why).

In Linux, a symlink in tex/texmf-fonts/ to the directory where fonts are stored doesn’t work either.

The weird thing is that the ConTeXt Suite in both OSes works fine with system fonts or the mentioned symlink.

mtxrun --generate mtxrun --script font --reload

I’m afraid it doesn’t work, Hans.

I even removed tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/, but no luck.

The only workaround I found in Linux is to add a symlinks to each font file. This works now.

It seems as if LMTX couldn’t follow symlinks for directories in Linux.

On Windows, I will have to wait some days to have access to a computer with it.

Many thanks for your help,
