these are indeed the ones scanned
OPENTYPEFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR,
unless i'm wrong OSFONTDIR is scanned too (as are part in some
configuration xml file when present) .. these paths are reported when
you do mtxrun --script font --reload
So, should I add two !! infront of $TEXMFHOME in $TEXMF (and $OSFFONTDIR
in $OPENTYPEFONTS) to ensure that $TEXMFHOME and $OSFFONTDIR are scanned
for names?
indeed, !! will force scanning
another option is to add $TEXMFHOME/fonts to OSFONTDIR

[NTG-context] Accessing fonts
Hi, I can only load some fonts (like Fontin) that are in ~/texmf or ~/.fonts if I load it using the file: directive. The name: directive does not seem to work, even if the font is in ~/texmf directory. As a result a lot of my old documents (which generally use typescripts or simplefonts module by Wolfgang) have stopped working. I can fix things on a case by case basis, but I wonder if others are also facing similar problems and there is bug lurking somewhere that is platform dependent. I am using 2010.09.05 on linux-64.

if you want named access, you need to add that path to the fontpath in your
cnf as then it will be added to the font database (that database is not
dynamicly adapting to trees that are scanned runtime)
The contextcnf.lua file contains
TEXMFHOME = $HOME/texmf, -- tree:///$HOME/texmf
TEXMF =
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFSYSTEM,!!$TEXMFMAIN},
OPENTYPEFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR,
So, should I add two !! infront of $TEXMFHOME in $TEXMF (and $OSFFONTDIR
in $OPENTYPEFONTS) to ensure that $TEXMFHOME and $OSFFONTDIR are scanned
for names?
