Dear Romano,

yes, the system recognizes the local fonts.

fc-list | grep local
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/otf/MyriadPro-It.otf: Myriad Pro:style=Italic
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/truetype/NotoEmoji-Bold.ttf: Noto Emoji:style=Bold
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/otf/MyriadPro-Regular.otf: Myriad Pro:style=Regular
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/truetype/NotoEmoji-SemiBold.ttf: Noto Emoji,Noto Emoji SemiBold:style=SemiBold,Regular
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/otf/MyriadPro-Bold.otf: Myriad Pro:style=Bold
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/truetype/NotoEmoji-Medium.ttf: Noto Emoji,Noto Emoji Medium:style=Medium,Regular
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/otf/MyriadPro-BoldIt.otf: Myriad Pro:style=Bold Italic
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/truetype/NotoEmoji-Light.ttf: Noto Emoji,Noto Emoji Light:style=Light,Regular
/home/admunix/.local/share/fonts/truetype/NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf: Noto Emoji:style=Regular

In the log file (out of the given ZIP) lualatex says:
Package fontspec Info: Font family 'MyriadPro(0)' created for font 'Myriad
(fontspec)             Pro' with options [Ligatures=TeX,Ligatures=TeX].
(fontspec)
(fontspec)              This font family consists of the following NFSS
(fontspec)             series/shapes:
(fontspec)
(fontspec)             - 'normal' (m/n) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             <->"MyriadPro:mode=node;script=latn;language=dflt;+tlig;
"
(fontspec)             - 'small caps'  (m/sc) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             - 'bold' (b/n) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             <->"MyriadPro/B:mode=node;script=latn;language=dflt;+tli
g;"
(fontspec)             - 'bold small caps'  (b/sc) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             - 'italic' (m/it) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             <->"MyriadPro/I:mode=node;script=latn;language=dflt;+tli
g;"
(fontspec)             - 'italic small caps'  (m/scit) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             - 'bold italic' (b/it) with NFSS spec.:
(fontspec)             <->"MyriadPro/BI:mode=node;script=latn;language=dflt;+tl
ig;"
(fontspec)             - 'bold italic small caps'  (b/scit) with NFSS spec.:

So I am wondering, why lualatex does not use it since there is
\setsansfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Myriad Pro}
in this example.


Thanks, Harald

Lualatex and xelatex should see all the font your system see, so basically it depends on how you add a font to your system.
