do you need to provide the full path?
It turns out that I do not. But I thought it should work even when OSFONTDIR
is not defined.
why not set OSFONTDIR?
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont//
or so
Well, this type of definition fails with error "error >>
define font: font with name ... is not found"
But this
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont
works.
Also this
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/{freefont,ttf-dejavu}
but these do not:
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/{freefont;ttf-dejavu}
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/{freefont:ttf-dejavu}
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/{freefont,ttf-dejavu}//
Also a definition that works in the shell, fails when appears only in
texmf.cnf when TEXMFCNF is defined in the shell.
Luatex with plain format does read texmf.cnf and correctly interpret
all the above variations including
OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype//.
Thank you, eythan
