This depends on your system, on windows you could place them in c:\windows\fonts and context finds them, on a Mac you could put them in your local font directory and the y are also found. On linux you could set the OSFONTDIR variable with the path to your font directory.

[NTG-context] Luatex fails to load a font
Hi!
I added a font called TypoOrnaments.ttf to my context-tree. Calling
"mtxrun --script fonts --list" gives the result
typoornamentsTypoOrnaments
TypoOrnaments.ttf
typoornamentsmedium TypoOrnaments
TypoOrnaments.ttf
Now I want to use it in my document with
\definefontsynonym [typoOrn] [file:TypoOrnaments.ttf][features=default]
\definefont [typoO] [typoOrn sa *]
-> {\typoO test}
But luatex complains that it cannot find the font.
define font | forced type ttf of TypoOrnaments not found
define font | font with name TypoOrnaments is not found
define font | unknown font TypoOrnaments, loading aborted
Same thing with "name:...".
My code works when I change the definition for example to
texgyrebonum-regular.otf.
Any ideas why the other font isn't working?
Thanks in advance,
Eyke
