I see, and must apologize. Was a bit in a hurry when I answered to your two bug reports. Anyway, what I am not sure about is what we should do about this. The documentation in texmf.cnf says: % OSFONTDIR is to provide a convenient hook for allowing TeX to find % fonts installed on the system (outside of TeX). An empty default % value would add "//" to the search paths, so we give it a dummy value. OSFONTDIR = /usr/share/fonts I am not sure whether luatex is correct in taking this as an alternative to fontconfig. I also didn't find anything about OSFONTDIR in luatexref-t.pdf or the Debian documentation. On the contrary, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX suggests to use this variable. The other question is which other engines use OSFONTDIR. Note that some other variables reference it, and need the "dummy setting" for speed: T1FONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/type1//;$OSFONTDIR// AFMFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/afm//;$OSFONTDIR// TTFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{truetype,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR// OPENTYPEFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{opentype,truetype}//;$OSFONTDIR// So it could be that we would need to have a OSFONTDIR.luatex variable instead that is empty?
