I've put `OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts` in ~/.../texlive/2019/texmf.cnf, but `mtxrun --script fonts --reload` refuses to look it up, even though `kpsewhich --expand-path '$OSFONTDIR'` gives /usr/share/fonts.

`export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts` does work, but doesn't feel very tex-y.

Context (MkIV) uses variables defined in texmfcnf.lua and not texmf.cnf. You can copy the one that comes with texlive (should be in $TEXMF/web2c directory) to $TEXMFHOME/web2c and edit it. You can check the value of a variable using mtxrun --expand-var OSFONTDIR mtxrun --expand-path OSFONTDIR mtxrun --resolve-path OSFONTDIR Aditya
