Hi Sandra, the only reliable method I have found is to inspect the font with FontForge. Here is an example: the Swiss 721 font from Bitstream (Helvetica digitization). FontForge reports: Font name: Swiss721BT-Roman Family name: Swis721 BT Display name: Swiss 721 BT Weight: Book "mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=swiss" result: swiss721bt swiss721btroman Swiss721.ttf swiss721btroman swiss721btroman Swiss721.ttf The only name which works in ConTeXt is the family name (which can be seen in FontForge): "Swis721 BT", note the single "s". However, this name is *not* shown in the mtxrun output. Interestingly, I have also seen mtxrun show the family name (different from the font name) for other fonts, so I really do not know how it makes up its output. It is certainly not useful to find out the name that is to be used in ConTeXt.
