From what I can tell, the bold font is not found if all of the following are true:
1. using the Palatino typescript 2. setting the body font to 10.5pt (but 11pt or 12pt works fine) 3. using MkIV 4. using components (project structure)
Here's the minimal example (mytest.tex):
============================================================ \startmode[ascomponent] \startcomponent mytest \stopmode
\usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10.5pt]
\startmode[standalone] \starttext \stopmode
{\bold hello}
\startmode[standalone] \stoptext \stopmode
\startmode[ascomponent] \stopcomponent \stopmode ============================================================
Compile the two variants with:
context --mode=ascomponent --result=mytest-ascomponent.pdf mytest.tex context --mode=standalone --result=mytest-standalone.pdf mytest.tex
mytest-standalone.pdf is fine (the "hello" is in bold), but mytest-ascomponent.pdf has the "hello" in roman.
The particular roman font in mytest-ascomponent.pdf is also funny:
$ pdffonts mytest-ascomponent.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- TZNKGE+TeXGyrePagellaMath-Regular CID Type 0C yes yes yes 18 0
Why is it the math font?
(A slightly more complex example, using \project to include a project file, which includes an environment file that asks for palatino, produced the same problem. But the version above needs just one file, mytest.tex, so for simplicity I am describing the problem using it.)
What I think is happening is that, when running as a component, the typescript loading happens too late (after the equivalent of "\starttext"), and not everything gets set up properly. In support of that idea, if I shift the two environment lines ("\usetypescript ...") to just before the "{\bold hello}"---thus, after the "\starttext"---then the standalone version gets the same problem ("hello" in roman).
What puzzles me is that this problem shows up only with 10.5pt and using palatino. If I just use 10.5pt (i.e. w/ modern), then there's no problem. Or 11pt in Palatino is fine. There's also no problem using MkII.
I tested with the context in vanilla TL2013 and in Norbert's latest Debian packages--the problem happens in both.
1. Use the normal and not the developer list for such a question. 2. You can omit the \usetypescript line. 3. Move the \setupbodyfont setting *before* \startcomponent. 4. Add \definebodyfontenvironment[10.5pt] to your document. Wolfgang
