I took the liberty to look again into this matter because the above advice does
not what I should expect it does: ignoring the MacOSX font directories.
This is what I found in various experiments, OSFONTDIR not defined in the
environment.
(1) I guess the name of the cnf file should be texmfcnf.lua not texmf.cnf.lua
because a file with the latter name has no effect, the MACOSX font directories
still appear in the log.
(2) That file in texmf.local does nothing because again the MacOSX font
directories are still in the log, but there is a reference to a file of that
name:
mkiv lua stats > used config file: selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
(3) Moving texmfcnf.lua to a directory /texmf.local/web2c/ is desastrous, the
log tells me:
resolvers | trees | analyzing '/Users/hansm/Documents/TeX/texmf'
mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
Questions therefore:
- is the name texmfcnf.lua indeed?
- what should be its location in texmf.local?
(texmf/web2c doesn't exist on my system because I restrict myself to the beta)
- is the content of texmfcnf.lua as given above complete?
Referring to a dummy font directory in OSFONTDIR still seems the most viable
option. Is that correct?
