There are several options. An easy way could be links from the opentype
and ttf dirs under your tex-tree to /usr/local/share/fonts or to
$HOME/.local/share/fonts/
I don't know your current situation, but it may be something like:
mkdir $HOME/.local/share/fonts/texfonts
cd $HOME/.local/share/fonts/texfonts
ln -s /opt/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype ./
ln -s /opt/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/ttf ./
I hope, this works.
I don't know the reason, why pdflatex does not find the fonts, because
latex has its own "database" for files. Maybe some font files are
missing or you need to run mktexlsr (as root).

Sorry, my mistake ...
That's interesting! Libreoffice or fc-list doesn't see it, either! Why
does the TexLive installer install to /opt if that's not normal?
I can also see that in /etc/fonts/conf.d/, there are many config files
(including urw-*) which link to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/, but
none for garamond. How come other fonts installed by tlmgr are
visible, but not all? Even of they are installed in /opt? Should I
reinstall TexLive to another location? What's the default location?

a /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (or a subdirectory), /opt is not a usual fontpath.
fc-list | grep garamond
is another method.
Are other programs showing the fonts (e. g. libreoffice).
You can also copy the fonts you want (otf // ttf) to HOME/.local/share/fonts/
(or /usr/local/share/fonts); both should be in the font path of al programs.
My LyX and fontspec (debian) have no problems using the HOME-directory.

Hi all,
I'm using LyX 2.3.7, and TexLive 2023 (via tlmgr, not distro) on Void
Linux. My problem is that I can't use any of the Garamond fonts
installed (URW, EB). LyX has been configured via Tools -> Reconfigure,
and the PATH (to /opt/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux) is set. LyX finds
all installed packages etc.
If I try to use "URW Garamond (Mathdesign)", I get an error when compiling:
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ugmm8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font
file for reading.
"URW Garamond" (no Mathdesign) is listed as "not installed", even
though it is according to tlmgr.
If I switch to "Don't use TeX-Fonts" in the font dialog, EB Garamond
is not listed at all, but it is installed. Weirdly, old LyX documents
that use that font still compile fine and display it in the output. I
also used to be able (until a week ago) to manually set the main font
to "EB Garamond" using
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
but that no longer works (gives me an error about not finding that
font). luaotfload-tool --find "EBGaramond" confirms that it is
installed in
"/opt/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/ebgaramond/EBGaramond-Regular.otf"
I am thoroughly confused, and don't even know where to begin checking.
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Christian
