MacTeX / TeXlive 2021 on macOS 10.15.7
I'm trying without luck to use Times New Roman via the fontspec package.
I've read that:
fc-list : family | sort
will produce a list of system fonts that I should be able to use via XeLaTeX and fontspec. This list includes Times New Roman.
This minimum test document fails
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\begin{document}
Hello world.

I've searched on-line and read that I should edit .../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf to include the font search path. I've done so, creating a file containing this, saved as /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf.cnf:
% (Public domain.)
% This texmf.cnf file should contain only your personal changes from the
% original texmf.cnf (for example, as chosen in the installer).
%
% That is, if you need to make changes to texmf.cnf, put your custom
% settings in this file, which is .../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf, rather than
% the distributed file (which is .../texlive/YYYY/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf).
% And include *only* your changed values, not a copy of the whole thing!
%
TEXMFHOME = ~/Library/texmf
TEXMFVAR = ~/Library/texlive/2021/texmf-var
TEXMFCONFIG = ~/Library/texlive/2021/texmf-config
OSFONTDIR = System/Library/Fonts:System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental:~/Library/Fonts
However, even after running texhash,
kpsewhich --expand-path '$OSFONTDIR'
results in:
/Users/<user>/Library/Fonts
The command:
fc-list : family
obviously searches places outside the directories specified OSFONTDIR and equally obviously my changes to texmf.cnf have had no effect.
I'd appreciate advice on how to set the appropriate search path.
