Hi Jim, a symlink to the required directory also does the trick: ln -s ~/origin-dir/ ~/texmf/texmf-fonts/ This works for “Linux” (I use this instead of `$OSFONTDIR`). It should work for other “Unix” flavors (“macOS” included). In “Windows”, they are junctions (https://ss64.com/nt/mklink.html), and they work the other way around (target directory with extra link name comes first): mklink /J %USERPROFILE%\texmf\texmf-fonts\ directory ^ c:\your-origin-font-directory. Just in case it helps, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : [email protected] / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
