fonts.conf should have something like: <include ignore_missing="yes">conf.d</include> no? Here it does, otherwise fontconfig itself has no way of reading other files. But the whole thing is tricky, because the default path to the root fonts.conf file is set into libfontconfig at build time, ConTeXt has no way of knowing that, short of linking to libfontconfig. > The first two files are bundled with applications (Gimp, MPlayer) and > aso have their own caches & their own settings, so when users start > messing and configuring the system-wide settings, those two > applications won't obey those anyway. Which is very pointless, there should be only one fontconfig installed system wide, but that mac anyway :) Regards, Khaled ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
