How can I add a simple folder (not a texmf tree) with opentype or truetype fonts to the search path of context?
I have tried with a local texmfcnf.lua and
return { content = { variables = { OPENTYPEFONTS = ".;D:/myfonts//;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR", }, }, }
context doesn't look at those variables, it looks for fonts in:
(1) the tree i.e. the file database (in the order: otf, ttf, ttc, afm) (2) in OSFONTDIR
I don't want something "systemwide". I have too many texsystems and don't want side-effects (actually I want context to see the texlive fonts, to make test easier).
I can set OSFONTDIR only for context, but it would be a bit tricky.
(3) i the fonts.conf xml file (never used that one myself)
Is there a context specific fontconfig (I'm on windows, so don't have a system fontconfig)
no, and apart from testing it years ago i never used it myself (i'm on windows too and even on the linux boxes i put all fonts in texmf-fonts/fonts/data)
and I'll add
(4) EXTRAFONTS
for you to play with (although you can also add the path to OSFONTDIR for testing).
Thanks. That would be the easiest (and cleanest). I will wait for the next update.
