Hello. I'm trying to get LMTX to use my fonts on Fedora 33 Linux. I've got LMTX installed in the directory /sw/versions/context/lmtx and I've put copies of the fonts I'd like to use in /sw/versions/context/lmtx/tex/texmf-fonts. Some of them are truetype and some of them are opentype. When I run mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force it says fonts | names | scanning path '/sw/versions/context/lmtx/tex/texmf-fonts' for otf files fonts | names | 0 otf files checked, okay and later fonts | names | scanning path '/sw/versions/context/lmtx/tex/texmf-fonts' for ttf files fonts | names | 0 ttf files checked, okay Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

did you add the /fonts subpath?

/sw/versions/context/lmtx/tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data

i normally put them in

data/whatever/whataverer*.otf

(data is kind of generic, there is no need to distinguish between various font types)

When I added your “Lost in fonts” article to the CGJ, I did exactly that with the included TYFA* fonts. They were not recognized in the same folder as the article or in texmf-fonts/fonts/data/tyfa, even after several force reloads; they were only found when I added them to the system font directory (~/Library/Fonts on MacOS).

did you also do mtxrun --generate beforehand? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I didn’t because that’s part of the install script, isn’t it? I run that more or less daily.

But it doesn’t change anything – deleted the fonts from Library, they’re still in texmf-fonts, --generate, --reload --force => fonts not found.

Since my texmf-fonts is a symlink (to avoid the same tree in several installations), I also checked if a “real” directory solves the problem – no.

No clue ... maybe --verbose helps ... i assume that mtxrun --generate shows the path being seen.
