It’s a (already mentioned) LuaTeX bug.

OSFONTDIR is a tex specific (kpathsea and Context) variable that I don’t think is used by the system (fontconfig, desktop environment). While you were fiddling with font paths, is it possible that you accidentally modified something else, like ~/.config/fontconfig or /etc/fonts/* ?

[NTG-context] faking fonts with simplefonts
Dear list,
I don’t get slanted fonts that I have to fake for a monospaced typeface
that lacks an italic font.
Here is a sample with a standard font that shows the same problem:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25]
\setmonofont[DejaVu Sans Mono][italicfont={*},
italicfeatures=fakeitalic]
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
\starttext
\tex{define}{\tt\em},
{\tt\em}.
\stoptext
I can only get the second \em working, unless I don’t fake it.
What am I doing wrong here?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Using the ConTeXt Suite the command I use is: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts//" But I append it at the end of tex/setuptex. I’m afraid I cannot help you with the system fonts, because I don’t use ConTeXt from TeXLive 2013. All I guess is removing all OSFONTDIR from your configuration. (Running "grep -irl "OSFONTDIR" ." on your home directory should do the searching job.) Sorry for not being more helpful.

[NTG-context] OSFONTDIR kills gui fonts.
I am tryihg to follow the wiki on "Fonts in Luatex." It suggests the following statement for Linux systems: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts" But I store my fonts in /usr/share/fonts so I used: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" The net effect of this statement was to wipe out all my text fonts used with XFCE4 or KDE, at least when I use my regular user signon. I examined my /etc/profile, $HOME/.profile, @HOME/.bashrc files and deleted or commented out all references to OSFONTDIR. I still have no gui fonts. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can revive my gui fonts that would be welcome. Only my regular user signon is affected, But I really want to know what kind of OSFONTDIR statement I can use that won't wipe out my gui fonts. I can of course move the pertinent fonts to the fonts directories in my /usr/local/texlive etc. file structure. But I am looking for a more general solution. Slackware 14 64 bit and texlive 2013 As always, thanks in advance to those who reply: John Culleton ___ 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 ___
