Hi Christian,

And would create lots of others. We have contemplated this
way, but the sheer amount of fonts, some of which are not
properly tagged for fontconfig, would create havoc.

Thus, we only activate a few directories.

Feel free to add a file /etc/fonts/local.conf that add the
dir or only some. For exmaple, I have:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
        <dir>/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/opentype</dir>
        <dir>/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1</dir>
        <dir>/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/adobe</dir>
        <dir>/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/nowacki</dir>
        <dir>/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/gust</dir>
        <dir>/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/fira</dir>
</fontconfig>
