texfont and/or ConTeXt seems to be keyed to a certain distribution setup.
I would say that for ConTeXt that is ok (though as far as I know Hans
himself keeps the fonts in TEXMFFONTS or so, so he needs a specialized
type-tmf.dat as well). That the default is TeX Live also seems to be fine
to me.
the reason for a separate three texmffonts is that it permits me to
update the main tree (wipe out, copy new) and still have my installed
extra fonts
(i tried to get a texmffonts var in the regular texmf.cnf but that was
rejected: objection "too many trees" while in the meantime we have more
trees in tl as well -)
The easiest way would be if you can give this as an argument to texfonts.
Another issue is that fonts can be in multiple trees. Some i-Packages may
install in texmf.local (so it can be easily uninstalled), or fonts can be
in texmf.tetex or texmf.gwtex). I do not know enough about texfont, but if
Hans wants to work with me we can sort that out. After all, I probably
have a good example of a non-TL multi-tree setup. BTW, there are support
reasons why I do not use the TEXMFMAIN name or the standard texmf-dist
directory name.
ah, i see, so the problem is TEXMFMAIN in the dat file
before we start hacking ... this --ro stands for --rootlist so it may be
a list; so
..... --ro=TEXMFMAIN,TEXMF.TETEX,TEXMF.GWTEX
should work; can someone test that?
