OSFONTDIR defined in texmf.cnf not used
Hi all, 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. Any help is appreciated.

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
It works, thanks!
But the mentioning of texmf.cnf and OSFONTDIR in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Custom_Configuration&oldid=24290
is indeed a bit misleading though. Hope someone could fix it.

The environment variable OSFONTDIR, to be set in .bashrc, .profile or the like, works as well. There’s unfortunately still a lot of outdated information in the wiki. But it’s a wiki, you can fix it yourself. Why do you refer to an old revision of that page?

I can indeed edit the wiki and in fact I did four days ago, but for this specific problem which just confused me, I don't think I am the correct one to be able to guarantee that an edit of it is necessary a fix. Why do you refer to an old revision of that page?
It's not an old version. It's a permanent link to the most recent version
at the time of writing.
