System fonts not loading
Hello, I seem to be having some trouble getting the system fonts to load from my Debian Jessie system. I'm using: mica@box:~/Working$ context -version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.61 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /home/mica/.context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.04.18 14:41 and OSFONTDIR is set and all the fonts I want to use are in ~/.fonts: mica@box:~/Working$ echo $OSFONTDIR /home/mica/.fonts/ Usually when I run into font problems or add a new font, I run: fc-cache -fv mtxrun --generate context --make This has worked for some time, however now it will not. Consider the following: \definefontfamily [junction] [rm] [Junction Regular] \definefontfamily [junction] [mm] [Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[junction] \starttext \input ward \bf \input ward \tf \input ward \bf \input ward \stoptext which results in a pdf with Latin Modern. mtxrun --script fonts --list --all doesn't seem to be seeing the OS fonts, but sees all of ConTeXt's fonts. However, fc-list : family (which will list all the system fonts known by fc-cache) shows all the fonts as available. Thank you for any help. Best, Mica

\definefontfamily [junction] [rm] [Junction Regular] \definefontfamily [junction] [mm] [Latin Modern Math]
\setupbodyfont[junction]

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all doesn't seem to be seeing the OS fonts, but sees all of ConTeXt's fonts. However, fc-list : family (which will list all the system fonts known by fc-cache) shows all the fonts as available.
mtxrun --script --reload -force normally this is run automatically (in a fast mode) but there can be cases where it needs a full scan esp when fonts are moved.

Hi Hans, That did not seems to solve the problem. I'll assume there is a problem elsewhere with my system, unless there is anything else I can try. It is strange, as this worked before when Debian Jessie was still "testing." Thanks, Mica On 04/27, Hans Hagen wrote:
