Dunno then, it is very confusing, some fonts are found by file name and some are not. Putting them in TEXMF tree makes them found.
Wild guess: could it be related to the dot in ".fonts" ?
Other fonts in that directory are found, font names works for all fonts there too.
May I chime in here? Hans, a couple of weeks ago, I reported a similar problem: none of the fonts in my personal texmf-trees ends up in the database. I can still reproduce the problem:
luatools AGaramondPro-Regular.otf /Users/tas/texmf/fonts/opentype/adobe/agaramond/AGaramondPro-Regular.otf
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all "agaramond*"
(i.e. nothing found). I can only use all these personal fonts via the file: syntax; name: does not work. Maybe these problems are related? Something's not quite kosher in the font database...
I had also noticed a similar behavior in the past with Fontin... the font was not found in $TEXMFHOME tree. That was one of the reasons that I started storing fonts in ~/.fonts (the other being that other applications on Linux can also find the font). I will try to see if I can reproduce that with the latest beta. Aditya
