LuaLaTeX sees a font while fc-list doesn't

Question

I've got a fresh Arch Linux box with fresh full TeX Live installed. The installation seems to include cm-unicode fonts and lualatex seems to find them correctly, but when I run fc-list the output contains only a couple of system fonts. How can I get the list of available fonts? Is there any way to fix fc-list or should I use another utility?

Answer 1

As far as I know, LuaLaTeX doesn't use fc-list, but rather caches fonts using luaotfload.lua.

In order to make all otf fonts in TeX Live known to your system, run

cp $(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSVAR)/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf
fc-cache -fsv

as superuser. This is actually necessary for XeTeX and XeLaTeX.

you can create a local config file .fonts.conf in your home directory if you have no root access:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
 <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
 <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
 <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/type1</dir>

  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
