List,
I have a strange case of a font feature disappearing when many fonts are
used.
In creating a sampler for the Jost* font (free at
https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html) and using its feature ss01 to
get single-storey lower-case a, the font reverts to the default
two-storey a when many weights are shown. When I create the fonts with
\definefontfamily, the upright weights are fine and the italic weights
revert. When I create the fonts with \definefont, the reverse is the case.
Below is the demonstration for the \definefont variation and a snip of
the failing result.

Assistance or explanation is welcome. This is just for a sampler -- the
font with just three weights when used in a real project is fine. I do
not know if the problem is with the font or with ConTeXt or with my
expectations.
