In Linux, a symlink in tex/texmf-fonts/ to the directory where fonts are stored doesn’t work either.

The weird thing is that the ConTeXt Suite in both OSes works fine with system fonts or the mentioned symlink.

mtxrun --generate mtxrun --script font --reload

I’m afraid it doesn’t work, Hans. I even removed tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/, but no luck. The only workaround I found in Linux is to add a symlinks to each font file. This works now. It seems as if LMTX couldn’t follow symlinks for directories in Linux. On Windows, I will have to wait some days to have access to a computer with it.

I wish I could give more details.

Fonts are located in ~/Documents/ousia-fonts/. The soft link is tex/texmf-fonts/ousia-fonts/.

If the soft symlink for the fonts directory is itself tex/texmf-fonts/, ConTeXt LMTX handles the fonts right.

The texmf-fonts directory must follow TDS (tex document structure). Assuming that ~/Documents/ousia-fonts simply contains a bunch of directories with opentype fonts, I'd try symlinking it to tex/texmf-fonts/font/opentype/data Aditya

Hi Pablo, I don't know if this may help, but in principle in order to use systme fonts in LMTX you should invoke the mtxrun in the bin directory of your installation of LMTX. For me, working on MacOS, the following worked fine: /context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun -generate and then /context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script font --reload Best regards: OK

I add the path, otherwise no mtxrun would be found.

Of course, Otared is saying: $CONTEXTHOME/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun -generate where osx-64 is the platform. -- Alan Braslau
