2. Where is OSFONTDIR set on mkiv? I specifically do NOT want my system fonts used by ConTeXt; everything I want to use with TeX is in one of my texmf trees. How can I prevent mkiv from taking the system paths into account? indeed, putting them in the tree is more robust (and controllable)

[NTG-context] Buglet in figure placement
