What does context need to find the font?

mtxrun --script font --reload will generate a font database which will provide access by name Hans I created the table as suggested above and in the file names.tma appears a line line like: ["caliban"]={ "ttf", "Caliban", "Caliban.ttf", false }, I thought one might use \font\test=caliban at 12pt but this fails: Font \test=caliban at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. Now I remove the data base, and also the files Caliban.tma Caliban.tmc and define \font\test=Caliban at 12pt This works, provided that OSFONTDIR is well-defined in the shell. Thank you. eythan
