How can I add a simple folder (not a texmf tree) with opentype or
truetype fonts to the search path of context?

I have tried with a local texmfcnf.lua and

return {
     content = {
       variables = {
         OPENTYPEFONTS   =
".;D:/myfonts//;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR",
       },
     },
   }

context doesn't look at those variables, it looks for fonts in:

(1) the tree i.e. the file database (in the order: otf, ttf, ttc, afm)
(2) in OSFONTDIR

I don't want something "systemwide". I have too many texsystems and
don't want side-effects (actually I want context to see the texlive
fonts, to make test easier).

I can set OSFONTDIR only for context, but it would be a bit tricky.

(3) i the fonts.conf xml file (never used that one myself)

Is there a context specific fontconfig (I'm on windows, so don't
have a system fontconfig)

no, and apart from testing it years ago i never used it myself (i'm on windows too and even on the linux boxes i put all fonts in texmf-fonts/fonts/data)


and I'll add

(4) EXTRAFONTS

for you to play with (although you can also add the path to OSFONTDIR
for testing).

Thanks. That would be the easiest (and cleanest).  I will wait for
the next update.
