Hi Will,

thanks a lot; both solutions work beautifully! I saw you sent a  
message to the list about ExternalLocation a while ago, and the  
response was a bit underwhelming, but I still think it would be a good  
idea to have such an example in the manual; I have lots of opentype  
fonts in my $HOMETEXMF and would like to use them.

Thanks, and best wishes

Thomas
