   Where?

In /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf there is place holder as:


% OSFONTDIR is to provide a convenient hook for allowing TeX to find
% fonts installed on the system (outside of TeX).  An empty default
% value would add "//" to the search paths, so we give it a dummy value.
OSFONTDIR = /please/set/osfontdir/in/the/environment

 Best wishes
