I have no problem if this is so. I encountered another problem in my own typescripts for Charis SIL, I could use the bold style when I use the file name but not for the font name. Try this: \starttypescript [serif] [charissil] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [CharisSIL-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [CharisSIL-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [CharisSIL-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [CharisSIL-BoldItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [charissil] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Regular] [file:CharisSILR] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Italic] [file:CharisSILI] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Bold] [file:CharisSILB] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-BoldItalic] [file:CharisSILBI] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [charissil] \definetypeface [charissil] [rm] [serif] [charissil] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[charissil] \setupbodyfont[charissil] \starttext \tf Text \it Text \bf Text \bi Text \stoptext I get all four style in the output but when I use the font name in the definition the normal bold style is replace by the bolditalic style. \starttypescript [serif] [charissil] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Regular] [name:Charis SIL] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Italic] [name:Charis SIL Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Bold] [name:Charis SIL Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-BoldItalic] [name:Charis SIL Bold Italic] [features=default] \stoptypescript Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
