Hi All, Thank you for all suggestions, let me anser them one by one and then finish with the solution.

Then I would find it odd that xetex > can't use them. Yes, all fonts in \texmf-local\fonts\opentype seem to be cached, however subsequent calls to fc-list and such don't show any of the fonts, even when the call is made from that directory. > In miktex fc-cache/xetex use fonts.conf which is one of the trees in > fontconfig\config. Local directories can be added in > localfonts.conf. It appears there is no such local fonts file for texlive, the manual makes mention of a bunch of other local ones (e.g. updmap-local.cfg). I'll post to the tex-live list and see if they have better solutions than mine.

Neat idea, but didn't work. On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 5:14 PM, Peter Dyballa <peter_dyba...@web.de> wrote: > The file's proper name is fonts.conf.

Yeah, but that file might get overwritten any time i update, as far as I understand, making me have to edit them manually every time. Ok. I came accross this thread in the end, using some keywords inspired here. http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-November/019261.html Based on comments in the texmf.cnf file, I edited the texmf.cnf in texlive/2009, where you should add your local changes only. first I tried adding my opentype fonts folder to a promising looking key, but that didn't work: OPENTYPEFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/opentype//;$OSFONTDIR//;$TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/opentype then, I followed the suggestions in the thread and got things to work: (1) add to texlive/2009/texmf.cnf: FONTCONFIG_PATH=$TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/conf FC_CACHEDIR=$TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/cache (2) create the directories: $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/conf $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/cache (3) copy everything in $TEXMFSYSVAR/fonts/conf/ to $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/conf/ and then edit the file $TEXMFLOCAL/fonts/conf/fonts.conf to include the line <dir>C:/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype</dir> I am not sure this is the best way to go about it, I don't really like having a full local copy of fonts.conf, overriding a possibly updated $TEXMFSYSVAR/fonts/conf/fonts.conf. I would just like to add that one directory. I'll post on the tex-live list and ask about my solution and see if there is a better way. If any is found, I'll post back here. Thank you for the help!
