font search path and subfolders
In my Linux home folder I have the usual “~/.fonts/” folder in which I have put subfolders “~/.fonts/opentype/” and “~/.fonts/truetype/”. Inside those subfolders I would like font families to have their own subfolders. When I set the font search path by running export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts/opentype;$HOME/.fonts/truetype" from the command line followed by mtxrun --script fonts --reload only the fonts in the /truetype/ subfolders are recognised. This means I have to put all my opentype fonts directly into the /opentype/ folder. On Stackexchange I found a solution http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/209705/context-system-font-search-pat... which says that putting “//” after the folder made the search recursive, but neither export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts/opentype//;$HOME/.fonts/truetype//" nor export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts//" works for me. What am I missing? (Typo maybe?) Being able to put opentype font families into subfolders as well would be a great help to keep a clear view of all my fonts. Greetings Jörg

Do you mean reported by mtxrun --expand-var OSFONTDIR ? Jörg On 31.01.2015 13:54, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi Jörg, it seems that // makes the search recursive. And you have to force the font cache generation: mtxrun —script font —reload —force I hope ith works, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
I still get (while using subfolders in ~/.fonts/opentype/) !LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading () ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 after having run export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts//" and Pablo’s proposal mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force although a lot happens after latter command. Running mtxrun --script fonts --list --all lists much more fonts now than before, but the PDF rendering still fails. After I move the OTF files from the subfolders to the parentfolder ~/.fonts/ and run mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force again, the PDF just renders fine. Any ideas?

Hi Jörg, at least to avoid to run that again and again, I think you could add that at last line of tex/setuptex. BTW, do you have a ~/.fonts/truetype/ directory? And does ConTeXt load fonts from that directory without problems? Could it be that you have an issue with permissions in the ~/.fonts/opentype/ directory? What about creating a new directory with another name and moving your fonts there? I think it may be an issue with permissions. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
I tried to put the subfolders into a folder ~/fonts/ instead of ~/.fonts/ – same result :-( ls -la returns drwxr-xr-x for ~/.fonts/ as well as for ~/.fonts/opentype/ and ~/.fonts/truetype/ Greetings Jörg On 31.01.2015 19:26, Pablo Rodriguez wrote:

Just did a complete reinstall and now the subfolders work. Also makes manual uninstall of fonts much more convenient. Cheers Jörg On 31.01.2015 21:07, Jörg Weger wrote:
