I installed some .otf fonts in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts, changed
/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-var/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf
adding the string
<dir>/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts</dir>
I copied this changed file in /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf.
Finally, i gave:
fc-cache -fsv
It seems the new font are found into the system:

Moreover, for instance:
samiel@debian:~$ fc-list : family file | grep -i fontin
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/Fontin/Fontin-SmallCaps.otf: Fontin SmallCaps,Fontin

/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/Fontin/Fontin-Regular.otf: Fontin
But if I try to compile with xelatex using one of the fonts just added, I obtain:

I'm very confused
FURTHER PS
In a partition where I have a Debian installed all works fine. The .otf are property of root-staff and permission are -rw——. The same in the other, not working partition…

The algorithms to find fonts in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX are different. I don’t fully understand them, to be honest, but I’ve found that what works on both is the human-readable name reported by
fc-list. So, let’s take as an example the Linux Libertine family. (In practical real-world use, there’s thelibertinepackage for this, but I picked this example because the right name to use is distinctive.)The names we want to use are the ones in the middle field, with the style appended if necessary. So the file
produces:
In this case, we needed to give a hint which font to use for mono italic, but
fontspecis smart enough to make everything else work out of the box. Another problem reported in the comments to my previous answer was with\scshape\itshape. If your font family has a separate italic small caps font, the instructions to load that are in §5.1.2 of thefontspecmanual.
