Hm, no, this is strange --- are you sure ? If I remove the files from texmf-project/fonts/ and make mtxrun --script font --reload I have mtxrun --script font --list --all|grep Free But when I copy them again in texmf-project/fonts/ and mtxrun --script font --reload then mtxrun --script font --list --all|grep Free then I see freemono freemono FreeMono.ttf freemonobold freemonobold FreeMonoBold.ttf freemonoboldoblique freemonoboldoblique FreeMonoBoldOblique.ttf freemononormal freemonooblique FreeMonoOblique.ttf freemonooblique freemonooblique FreeMonoOblique.ttf freesans freesans FreeSans.ttf freesansbold freesansbold FreeSansBold.ttf freesansboldoblique freesansboldoblique FreeSansBoldOblique.ttf freesansdemi freesansbold FreeSansBold.ttf freesansnormal freesansoblique FreeSansOblique.ttf freesansoblique freesansoblique FreeSansOblique.ttf freeserif freeserif FreeSerif.ttf freeserifbold freeserifbold FreeSerifBold.ttf freeserifbolditalic freeserifbolditalic FreeSerifBoldItalic.ttf freeserifitalic freeserifitalic FreeSerifItalic.ttf freeserifnormal freeserifitalic FreeSerifItalic.ttf I also see fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for otf files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for OTF files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for ttf files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for TTF files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for ttc files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for TTC files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for dfont files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for DFONT files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for afm files fonts | names | scanning /opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv/tex/texmf-project for AFM files The problem with texmf-fonts/ is that is keep in sync with the original source, and hence the files can be deleted. > > 4) You might want to explain that the > source /opt/luatex/standalone-new/tex/setuptex > has to be done once at the start of each session, or else bad things > happen. Hm , nothing bad: you use the default pdftex/xetex/luatex --- nothing of catastrophic, this doesn't touch your mkiv in anyway. Given that mkiv require some experience, the default is to leave the distro to manage the TeX installation and the user to setup the appropriate environment. > 5) Generally it would be good to dilineate what should be done as root, > and where normal user stuff starts. Hm, to be root is not required -- have you found some problem ? -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
