How can I add a simple folder (not a texmf tree) with opentype or truetype fonts to the search path of context?

I have tried with a local texmfcnf.lua and

return { content = { variables = { OPENTYPEFONTS = ".;D:/myfonts//;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR", }, }, }

context doesn't look at those variables, it looks for fonts in:

(1) the tree i.e. the file database (in the order: otf, ttf, ttc, afm) (2) in OSFONTDIR

I don't want something "systemwide". I have too many texsystems and don't want side-effects (actually I want context to see the texlive fonts, to make test easier).

I can set OSFONTDIR only for context, but it would be a bit tricky.

...

(3) i the fonts.conf xml file (never used that one myself)

Is there a context specific fontconfig (I'm on windows, so don't have a system fontconfig)

no, and apart from testing it years ago i never used it myself (i'm on windows too and even on the linux boxes i put all fonts in texmf-fonts/fonts/data)

...

and I'll add

(4) EXTRAFONTS

for you to play with (although you can also add the path to OSFONTDIR for testing).

Thanks. That would be the easiest (and cleanest). I will wait for the next update.

Hm, I’m used to setup/make scripts per project, setting some path works well with that.

The tricky part is to fit it in my current configuration system. I share configuration between two PC and so adding things which should have an effect only on one of them needs (due to different pathes) always a bit thinking -- not impossible and not so difficult but a bit tricky ;-). So adjusting a local file would be easier. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

you might consider using git easy to keep track of your data and to share / clone the latest state.

I use git. But on two Computer there are always some settings that you don't want to share e.g. on the one texlive is in D:\texlive and on the other in C:\users\...\texlive. And the relative pathes between context and texlive are different too. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
