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
