Which is the reason for this difference?
because on windows it's standardized and on linux it isn't so we would end up in discussions about the right setting (and indeed we already had those discussions)
Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
Wouldn’t it be possible to set more than one directory for Linux? (MacOSX has more than one.)
That should work already. Also, the fontconfig environment variable si used.
I want to avoid a discussion on orthodox settings for system font directory in Linux (it’s beyond both my knowledge and my interests). But specifying more than a directory could fix the issue.
Maybe ... we like to minimize the amount of useless file access, for instance a (not connected) network path could slow down a run (each run).
Many thanks for your help,
What does \starttext \ctxlua{inspect(fonts.names.getpaths())} \stoptext show on the console?
