3) The command mtxrun --script font --reload searches a bunch of directories for fonts, but not the directory texmf-project/fonts/ My work-around was just to copy the *.ttf files to texmf-fonts/ and then re-do the mtxrun line.

Hm, no, this is strange --- are you sure ? If I remove the files from texmf-project/fonts/ and make mtxrun --script font --reload I have mtxrun --script font --list --all|grep Free But when I copy them again in texmf-project/fonts/ and mtxrun --script font --reload then mtxrun --script font --list --all|grep Free then I see

The problem with texmf-fonts/ is that is keep in sync with the original source, and hence the files can be deleted.

I can assure you, this fonts/ directory was not in the list produced by

Hi Luigi, I have something to add to only one of your points: On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 8:22 PM, luigi scarso wrote: the mtxrun command on my system. Something is different between your system and mine. This might be worth investigating. (But I won't have time for it!) Perhaps you have a file somewhere that adds this other directory. This is my best guess. It is also possible something was left over on my system from the previous distro installation. However I removed that installation with the dpkg --purge command, which should have removed all settings files. I didn't alter any configuration files myself, I only tried (unsuccessfully) to run context on some tex files. As I had only turned context on a few times, and never done any configuration, it is easy to reproduce my setup: Start with the latest Ubuntu, and install the 'context' package. Then remove it with --purge, and follow your instructions to install the recent 'context' in /opt. Cheers!
