I have a supposedly trivial question and I'm having a hard time finding an answer.
How can I determine the directories where fontspec is looking for OTF files?
I want to edit FontAwesome.otf with fontforge following these instructions:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/134244/76715
On an Ubuntu 14.10 machine with TeX Live 2014 installed I edited this font and saved a duplicate in the following directories because I found copies or links to FontAwesome.otf.
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/public
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public
After editing the corresponding cls file XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX still can't find the new font.
I installed the FontAwesome package by sudo apt-get install fonts-font-awesome. The FontAwesome TeX package was downloaded automatically. I don't know whether this downloaded another copy of the font.
