I was thinking that using fc tools on both non-cygwin Windows and OSX
doesn't make sense, we should scan font directories directly.

I don't also like the idea of hardcoding such paths into the code, that
is precisely what $OSFONTDIR is for. So, I think texlive/mactex should
set $OSFONTDIR to some sensible value on Windows/OSX, something like:

osx:
/System/Library/Fonts//;/Network/Library/Fonts//;/Library/Fonts//

windows:
%WINDIR%\Fonts (%WINDIR% is an env variable, not sure how kpse handle
those on windows)

Definitely agreed. Could these changes appear in the texmf.cnf?

This leaves only unices, until we find a way to git rid of fc there.

I don't really see the point of getting rid of fc on unix, it's quite standard (unlike on Windows and OSX), and it seems to work quite well.

Thank you,
