* [[Using LuaTeX in Ubuntu]]
Note === Adding the system fonts === The standard Ubuntu LuaTeX package does not scan any of your installed system fonts. Therefore you will want to set up the OSFONTDIR environment variable to point to all the font paths. For example: export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts:/usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/:/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/fonts/ Once you have done that Ubuntu, run mtxrun --script fonts --reload If you have an error do this luatools --generate to scan all the font directories. Then run mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* to list all the fonts LuaTeX now knows about. Finally, run context --reload to make sure ConTeXt's packaged version of ConTeXt font cache is quite old (circa 2009)up to date. If you are using TeXworks, so a better option for advanced users you need to make sure that OSFONTDIR is..set in the environment TeXworks runs in, because ConTeXt may decide it needs to rescan fonts.

export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts:/usr/share/fonts
export TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex
export PATH=/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/usr/local/context/bin:$PATH
Note that the order of items in the PATH is significant. If you put /usr/local/context/bin in the path first, you will get an error at run time.
