Mojca, hello,
You are right, there is a fonts.conf and localfonts.conf in the
directory
Which you specify and when I put the directory names in the the latter 
File in that directory (c:\Document and Settings\...) in Windows
format, i.e., 

<dir>c:\TeXlive2007\texmf-dist\fonts\opentype</dir>
<dir>c:\TeXlive2007\texmf-update\fonts\opentype</dir>
<dir>c:\TeXlive2007\texmf-commercial\fonts\opentype</dir>

the font files are indeed found. Many thanks for your efficient help.
