Thomas,

I actually set OSFONTDIR=.
which seems to be a sane default. I store specific font files with projects (along with a copy of the ConTeXt distribution used to typeset the project). This way, I can come back to a project later and make minor corrections without running into surprises or the need to update my sources.

Thank you and all best
it is a tex live thing; you can just set that variable to nothing, in the environment or in a local file like in

../tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmfcnf.lua

normally texmf-fonts is where i put fonts and that one should win

A TeX-live thing can be the default for TeX live.

I agree with Thomas, not explicitly including the system fonts by default is preferable. Maybe the standalone installation still does this - I hope so - but have not checked. If it defauts to including the system fonts, I would suggest that this is not necessarily a good idea.
