Hello,

I just updated ConTeXt to the latest version (2009.11.13 12:45), and now

all

...

the fonts I have installed on my system seem to have mysteriously disappeared from ConTeXt's sight. Running "mtxrun --script fonts --list" displays only the fonts that are installed in the ConTeXt directory. I'm using Linux and fontconfig finds all the fonts just fine. Until now, I haven't had any problems using the fonts on my system after an update without any further actions. I did, however, run

luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make

just to make sure that everything is up-to-date but that didn't make any difference.

Have any font-related changes been made to ConTeXt in the past few weeks (the previous version that I used was from maybe a month ago) or what

could

be the cause of this?

Are you using minimals ?

Yes, I use first-setup.sh to update.

Using the minimals without any further configuration efforts, I have *never* been able to acces to my system installed fonts (as seen by fc-list). This has been, for a while now, on my list of tasks to try to understand and to resolve, so I am interested by this subject... Alan

ConTeXt looks for system fonts only on Windows and Mac OS X (the paths are set in data-res.lua), for others system you need the OSFONTDIR variable. When you want the same feature on Linux Hans has to know where system fonts are stored and if these directories are the same on each distribution.

On Ubuntu Intrepid that would be /usr/share/fonts for the fonts shipped with the distribution, or installed via the repositories, and $HOME/.fonts for user-installed fonts. Some distributions may use /usr/local/share/fonts, but I haven't tried that on Intrepid. BTW, if you want Context to find _both_ directories make sure you set your OSFONTDIR in setuptex like this: export OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts" You have to use the semicolon instead of a colon, and don't forget the parentheses (found that in an old post by Khaled Hosny). Cheers, Peter Wüsten

Unfortunately, this is not sufficient, and thus refers us back to the original post by Mika.

Sorry, after running update.sh, context now finds the system fonts! Alan

Hello all, i think the problem was with the old LuaTeX 0.44. I updated 5 minutes ago and now all my files compile like a charm again with LuaTeX 0.45. Im so happy i could sing :-). best regards Bernhard Am 22.11.2009 um 17:22 schrieb Mojca Miklavec:

Be happy if it does that. Here it doesn't work at all :) :) :) [problem already reported by others]
