Re: [SOLVED] [xelatex] fontspec error: "font-not-found" !

My problem solved,
Solution:
I don't know why, but this version of xelatex isn't using system wide fonts for predefined fonts and it's using fonts in this path :

/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype

and to fix this problem you have to copy [persian-modern-fonts] there !
but this still can't work because of a persmission error !!!
you might want to set permissions of this font folder to your own or you group and then try again using xelatex !

or simply use `sudo xelatex yourfile.tex` !!

I think this should be a bug or something !!
