OSFONTDIR is a tex specific (kpathsea and Context) variable that I don’t think is used by the system (fontconfig, desktop environment). While you were fiddling with font paths, is it possible that you accidentally modified something else, like ~/.config/fontconfig or /etc/fonts/* ? Best regards, Philipp
