==== Using System Fonts ====
LuaTeX can see system fonts if you set the <code>OSFONTDIR</code> variable, for instance
set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts//
OSFONTDIR can contain a list of directories separated by semicolons, such as
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"
After installing new fonts or changing the value of OSFONTDIR, you must regenerate the font name database:
mtxrun --script font --reload
= Old contents =
First run
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*warnock*
You'll get a list of fonts containing the string ''warnock''

+section: Getting access to the system fonts
'''This page is beeing regorganized'''
= Getting access to the system fonts =
== Building the font database ==
You can make LuaTeX access the non-TeX fonts (Type 1, True Type and OpenType) on your system by building a font database.
First, you need to specify where the fonts should be looked for, by setting the <code>OSFONTDIR</code> environment variable. For instance,
set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts/
if the fonts should be found in <code>c:/windows/fonts/</code>; or
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts"
if the fonts should be found in both <code>/usr/local/share/fonts</code> and <code>$HOME/.fonts</code>.
You can then generate the font database by typing
mtxrun --script font --reload
or equally
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
The output should look like
MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix otf
MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix OTF
MTXrun | fontnames: 331 tree files identified, 332 hash entries added, runtime 7.653 seconds
MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix ttf
MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix TTF
MTXrun | fontnames: 17 tree files identified, 14 hash entries added, runtime 4.645 seconds
...
MTXrun | fontnames: 94 system files identified, 94 hash entries added, runtime 0.554 seconds
MTXrun | fontnames: 3837 files read, 3342 normal and 49 extra entries added, 5 rejected, 3386 valid
== Querying the font database ==
The command
mtxrun --script fonts --list
will return the whole entries of the font database as a list, such as
...
warnockprobold WarnockPro-Bold E:/Fonts/Warnock Pro/WarnockPro-Bold.otf
warnockproboldcapt WarnockPro-BoldCapt E:/Fonts/Warnock Pro/WarnockPro-BoldCapt.otf

warnockproboldsubh WarnockPro-BoldSubh E:/Fonts/Warnock Pro/WarnockPro-BoldSubh.otf
...
You can query the database against a particular pattern. For instance,
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=Delicious*
will return
deliciousbold Delicious-Bold /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_bold.otf
deliciousbolditalic Delicious-BoldItalic /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_bolditalic.otf
deliciousheavy Delicious-Heavy /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_heavy.otf
deliciousitalic Delicious-Italic /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_italic.otf
deliciousroman Delicious-Roman /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_roman.otf
delicioussmallcaps Delicious-SmallCaps /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_smallcaps.otf
You can get useful informations about your fonts by using the <code>--info</code> option. For instance,
mtxrun --script fonts --list --info --pattern=Delicious*Roman
will return
MTXrun | fontname: deliciousroman
MTXrun | fullname: Delicious-Roman
MTXrun | filename: /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_roman.otf

MTXrun | trep all all
== Installing new fonts ==
After installing new fonts, the font datamase must be rebuilt for LuaTeX to access them.
You can rebuild the database manually, using the already-mentioned command
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
Alternatively, you can get the database to be automatically rebuilt when needed -- that is, on 'font not found' errors. To do so, set either of
MTX.FONTS.AUTOLOAD
MTX_FONTS_AUTOLOAD
to "yes".

==== Good ol' typescripts ====
</texcode>
Just the simplest way to use an otf font — or any font that does appear in <tt>mtxrun --script font --list</tt> — in all the document.
