[LMTX] fonts problem (again)
Hi! Once again i'm unable to load my system's font which is working well with MKIV. i have followed the steps : export OSFONTDIR=~/.local/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/ mtxrun --generate mtx run --make mtxrun --script fonts --reload without success. This problem occurred to me since december 2020, i update LMTX weekly from the archlinux user repo (aur) binary. Any suggestions? -- Dr YAHYAOUI Mohamed Kaddour, cardiologue .

Not without more info ... here I get something fonts | names | variable 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path 'c:/windows/fonts' fonts | names | variable 'fontconfig file' specifies path 'c:/windows/fonts' fonts | names | globbing path 'c:/windows/fonts/**.otf' fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'OTF' fonts | names | globbing path 'c:/windows/fonts/**.OTF' what is that at your end? (As I never rely on system fonts I have no linux box with a setup to test it.)

[...] (making a copy - or link - in <sometexroot>/texmf-fonts/data/... could also work) Hi Kaddour,
I use LMTX in Linux too and I have symlynks in <texroot>/texmf-fonts that work perfectly fine (as Hans suggests). I would create symlinks for your font directories, such as in: ln -s ~/.local/share/fonts <texroot>/texmf-fonts/local-fonts ln -s /usr/share/fonts <texroot>/texmf-fonts/system-fonts ln -s /usr/share/texmf/fonts/ <texroot>/texmf-fonts/texlive-fonts After that, I think it would be helpful (this is what I do after each LMTX update): mtxrun --script cache --erase mtxrun --generate And compile your documents. The first run will make the format file. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Thank you Hans and Pablo, symlinking the font directories to luametatex
font directory worked as expected. I guess i have to follow the same steps
after every update..

You have only to add (if you want to recreate everything after each update): mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
