The problem persisted with Courier New, not only Source Sans Pro (SSP). The font file for Source Sans Pro came directly from the Google's font service.
The SSP (on my machine) works fine in Inkscape. The exact same font was also working before the ConTeXt upgrade. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
