I should have escaped it, sorry:
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts"

Unfortunately,  in a bash shell under Linux, the semi-colon (;) is used to 
separate commands, so this sets the OSFONTDIR to /usr/local/share/fonts and 
then tries to execute the command "/usr/share/fonts", which of course it 
cannot do because it's a directory.

export OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts

You could create a new directory, say:

/home/bart/context-os-fonts

and add (sym)links to /usr/local/share/fonts and /usr/share/fonts in
that (I myself have added extra symlinks inside /usr/share/fonts).

Best wishes,
Taco
