Any clue what could cause the trouble?
Your font is probably only in the texmf tree, it should be installed; that is, on Mac OS X, simply double-click on the font and select “Install”. It will be put in ~/Library/Fonts (probably) and some caching utilities will be run so that in can be found by Apple's API. If you wonder why it works “out of the box” on ConTeXtgarden Live, well, it must be because someone has installed it (and I should know ;-) Arthur
Hi Arthur,

Ok, that was the problem.

Next ConTeXt meeting I won't go to sleep at all, just in case I could miss important changes (like switching to xetex at 4:44 a.m) :-)) Merci beaucoup, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

Hmmm ... there must be a few additional lines somewhere in fontconfig.

Next ConTeXt meeting
Great news ;) - I have already put you on the list ;) It seems to me that the list of attendands of the second meeting is going to be full even before the next meeting will be announced.

Don't worry, Patrick ... I guess that I won't have any sleep in the last two weeks before the meeting, so you'll have to lock my account for safety reasons anyway ;) Just find a distraction for Arthur and you'll be on the safe side ;) Mojca
Hmmm ... there must be a few additional lines somewhere in fontconfig.
/etc/fonts/local.conf, I guess... as far as the fontconfig side of the Force is concerned, this is the right location to add “local” font directories (say /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/iwona) but on Mac OS X, OpenType fonts are found by the system libraries and fontconfig is of no concern (so you'll have to make the fonts available to the system by simply installing them, as I explained in my previous e-mail).

Hi, [xetex on linux, esp. on contextgarden.net]

That is the secret! You see that I am not a xetex user myself. Thanks for the info, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

Btw.: you can now play with OpenType features in luaTeX on the garden as well. Mojca
