Perhaps better: "export OSFONTDIR=/Users/bonasa/context/beta/empty" (I don't know Mac...) -- Peter

Ok, I replaced line 12213 in "tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun" with: ossetenv("OSFONTDIR","$HOME/context/beta/empty//") and that works. But I hope that the mess will be repaired before I have to update. Cheers, Jörg Jörg Hagmann writes:

Thank you, Mojca, but I am afraid you have to be more specific.

I created a directory ~/context/beta/empty I put into .profile OSFONTDIR=Users/bonasa/context/beta/empty Starting the shell gives: $echo $OSFONTDIR Users/bonasa/context/beta/empty

but:

context myfile.tex gives

fonts > names > 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path '/Users/bonasa/Library/Fonts' fonts > names > 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path '/Library/Fonts' fonts > names > 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path '/System/Library/Fonts'

???

Thanks, Jörg

Loading the fonts (?) takes too much time -- or maybe the programme is stuck, I don't know because I interrupted after a very long time at:

fonts > names > globbing path '/System/Library/Fonts/**.ttf'

How can I avoid that, I don't use system fonts.

Sorry, searching the mail archive is not possible at the moment.

We just discussed that problem off-list. On my system it's the culprit of /System/Library/Fonts/LastResort.ttf (you can check that with "Inspect -> Open files and folders" in Activity Monitor). Taco will probably modify LuaTeX a bit to avoid the problem.

I managed to use export OSFONTDIR=/some/existing/empty/path but someone probably also needs to figure out why ConTeXt is loading that font in the first place.
