After updating to ConTeXt ver: 2020.01.30 14:13 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.4.26 Helvetica Neue works with: ========================== \starttypescript [sans] [helvet] \setups[font:fallback:sans] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:Helvetica Neue.ttc(Helvetica Neue)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [file:Helvetica Neue.ttc(Helvetica Neue Bold)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [file:Helvetica Neue.ttc(Helvetica Neue Italic)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [file:Helvetica Neue.ttc(Helvetica Neue Bold Italic)] [features=default] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [helvet] [ss] [sans] [helvet] [default] \setupbodyfont [helvet, 12pt] Optima works with: ================== \starttypescript [sans] [optima] \setups[font:fallback:sans] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Regular)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Bold)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Italic)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Bold Italic)] [features=default] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [optima] [ss] [sans] [optima] [default] \setupbodyfont [optima] \starttext \tf Upright, \bf Bold, \it Italic, \bi Bolditalic \stoptext Note 1: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=helvetica etc. might still not display all variants correctly in the first place. Note 2: There are predefined typescripts for Mac OS in ConTeXt (type-imp-osx.mkiv) but the file needs a update/cleanup. > On 24 Apr 2020, at 12:14, Benjamin Buchmuller <benjamin.buchmul...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi Hraban, > > Thanks for the hint (and the proper fontfamily setup), I have forced reload > ten times now from various accounts; the issue persists unfortunately. > > This might confirm Taco‘s notion that there is some bug lmtx.
