This wasn't true for me, but I install TL on linux with the addition of win32 binaries and mount the directory on Wiindows (currently using NFS). There are a couple generated fontconfig files in " .../texlive/2019/fonts/conf". There is "fonts.conf" with linux paths as well as "c:/windows/fonts" and " texlive-fontconfig.conf" for use with linux. "fc-cache" fails because it doesn't find the configuration file. There are two variables that should allow fontconfig tools to find the conf file: >kpsewhich -expand-var=$FONTCONFIG_FILE fonts.conf >kpsewhich -expand-var=$FONTCONFIG_PATH N:/texlive/2019/texmf-var/fonts/conf Since these don't seem to work, I created a "C:\Users\<user>\.fonts.conf" from the above "fonts.conf" with windows paths and set the "FONTCONFIG_FILE" environment variable to the full path of the new file: >kpsewhich -expand-var=$FONTCONFIG_FILE c:/Users/<user>/.fonts.conf With this change, "fc-cache" runs and I get both texlive and Windows fonts in xelatex documents. Looks like fontconfig on Windows has a problem with the texmf.cnf provided settings., but perhaps this stems from trying to have one install shared between linux and windows. > Zdeněk Wagner > http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml > http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz > > út 12. 3. 2019 v 5:19 odesílatel Taylor, P <[email protected]> napsal: > > > > No problems using TL 2018 under Windows 7, Apostolos, but never tried > Windows 10 (nor have I any wish to).
