Re: [NTG-context] Referencing fonts by path within ConTeXt

You can use \usefontpath[...] to set a directory where ConTeXt searches for fonts but this works only when you use a typescript and not for \definefontfamily.

You can just specify your fonts in the typescript as [file:relative_path/fontname.otf]. OSFONTDIR isn’t as reliable as you need "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" after changing it (and sometimes "mtxrun --generate" before).
