I created a fresh slackware partition and whatever I did wrong was eliminated. Now, down to the fonts; the directory /usr/share/fonts and its subdirectories is a standard place to put fonts on a Linux system. Most of my other programs (Inkscape, Scribus) find those fonts without difficulty. I checked my permissions in that directory and subdirectories and they are not restrictive. I will link those fonts to a directory that Context searches. I just wonder why it worked before and not now. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
