For setting HOMETEXMF you can help yourself, though it would be nice if we provided a solution that worked out of the box. But I would like to get a confirmation from Hans that it's OK to do that.
I have modified the texmf.cnf in ./Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf/web2c with the lines export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf export TEXMF='{$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!! $TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}' but ConTeXt still does not find my personal texmf folder
I probably told you wrong, but: 1.) you have HOMETEXMF first and then TEXMFHOME: these need to be equal 2.) unless you are following (3), don't modify the file in texmf/, but create /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf instead, else the file will be overwritten at first update 3.) even then I'm not completely sure, but I guess that environmental variables override settings in texmf.cnf, so you either need to a) modify setuptex (rename it and run the renamed file instead of setuptex) b) only export PATH and not run setuptex at all; in that case values from texmf.cnf will be used - maybe you need to run "mktexlsr" or "luatools --generate"
OK. One quick reply just to see if I am on track.
I have created /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/ texmf.cnf where texmf.cnf now has export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf export TEXMF='{$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!
(hopefully the line continues ...) The lines you have written here belong to "setuptex", not to texmf.cnf. The syntax for setuptex is slightly different. HOMETEXMF = ~/Library/texmf # single line TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN} But try putting export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf # single line export TEXMF='{$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}' into setuptex (replace the old variables). The problem is that if you adapt texmf.cnf only, you still override those settings with setuptex. There is one thing that you could try (I never use TeXShop, but there's a change that it works): ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-pdfTeX.engine #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel:$PATH texexec "$1" ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-luaTeX.engine #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache context "$1" ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-XeTeX.engine #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel:$PATH texexec --xtx "$1" (sorry for two different proposals - I should probably only send you a single one) Mojca
