<pre wrap="">I think I didn't explicitly state that we use LuaLaTeX, but I asked if the
different engines behave differently in this respect.
And I recall from earlier questions that having at least ony actual
directory available was necessary for LuaLaTeX to follow symlinks to find
fonts. It seems this also goes for regular files.
To what extent is this known behaviour? And is this *acceptable* behaviour?
Or did I even misunderstood anything and it now works by accident?

Hm, I should have searched my tex.stackexchange account before ...<br>

<br>
From Ulrike's answer it should be clear that the issue is not
limited to fonts but general.<br>
Now I also see that ~/texmf/tex/latex in *my* installation contains
an empty hidden directory ...<br>
<br>
I still find it extremely strange that this should be "<span
style="color: rgb(36, 39, 41); font-family: "Lucida
Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida
Sans", Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style:
normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;
font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align:
left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;
background-color: rgb(249, 245, 233); text-decoration-style:
