I have been struggling to find the answer to this one. Let's suppose my system (and indeed my TexLive distro) has multiple different versions of a font with a specific name. Say



ffftusj.ttf



I want to put the specific instance of ffftusj.ttf I want to use in my local texmf-local



say at X:texlivetexmf-local
or
X:texlivetexmf-localfonts



How can I force fontspec to use that particular font and not some other it finds on going through the various paths?



in other words, I guess, how can I get specify fontspec to look at texmf-local or some subfolder of texmf-local. I could specify a font relative to my .tex file:



newfontface{sketchyf}[Path=../code/]{ffftusj.ttf}



How do I make that path X:texlivetexmf-localfonts without explicitly giving the absolute path on a particular machine (which will fail when translated to other machines I use)
