Well, I’m afraid that I can only guess not having access to a MacOS computer. .ttc stands for TrueType collection, it isn’t actually a font. From what I read at the wiki, dealing with .ttc is problematic (or at least, it was in the past: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX). Sorry, I have never dealt with a .ttc file before. I have installed Averia Serif and Sans TTC (http://iotic.com/averia/). They seem to work: \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [Averia Serif] \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [Averia Sans] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] {\rm a \em b \bf c \em d} {\ss a \em b \bf c \em d} \stopTEXpage \stoptext How about \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [Optima Regular]? Does it switch fonts?
