Hi all, Hans,

I have trouble using my own fonts with the latest beta on my OS X box. The problem appears to be that it is unable to create the database. When I run (on

mtxrun --script fonts --list

I get as the last lines of my output

MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /Library/Fonts/**.dfont
MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /System/Library/Fonts/**.dfont
font loading failed for /System/Library/Fonts/Keyboard.dfont

It appears this particular font cannot be loaded, so the entire database fails. On my linux laptop, everything works as expected.

So my questions are:

1. What can be done about it?

currently only loading dfonts is implemented; the backend code in luatex has to be written yet (will happen soon)

2. Where is OSFONTDIR set on mkiv? I specifically do NOT want my system fonts used by ConTeXt; everything I want to use with TeX is in one of my texmf trees. How can I prevent mkiv from taking the system paths into account?

indeed, putting them in the tree is more robust (and controllable)

mojca is supposed to know the osfontdir details
