Hi Marco, there is a differenece between the family name of a font (which is used by \definefontfamily) and the individual name of a font. The differences between both names can be explained with a with a (kind of) real family. For my example I use the main cast of the Simpsons. Surname : Simpson Grandfather : Abraham Simpson Grandmother : Mona Simpson Father : Homer Simpson Mother : Marge Simpson Son : Bart Simpson Daughter : Lisa Simpson All members of the family use the same surname but each of them has also its individual name, the same system can be applied to your font collection. Family: Caecilia LT Std Light : Caecilia LT Std Light Lightitalic : Caecilia LT Std Light Italic Regular : Caecilia LT Std Roman Italic : Caecilia LT Std Italic Bold : Caecilia LT Std Bold Bolditalic : Caecilia LT Std Bold Italic Heavy : Caecilia LT Std Heavy Heavyitalic : Caecilia LT Std Heavy Italic Each font of your collection has its individual name, e.g. the regular style has the name “Caecilia LT Std Roman” but all styles use the same name for the family (i.e. “Caecilia LT Std”) which is used by \definefontfamily. When you now used a individual name instead of the family name for \definefontfamily you should get a message in log for the correct name, e.g. the following example \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella Regular] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext Font test! \stoptext shows this in the log selectfont > The name 'texgyrepagellaregular' is not a proper family name, use 'texgyrepagella' instead. selectfont > The requested font 'TeX Gyre Pagella Regular' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. which tells you to use “texgyrepagella” for the \definefontfamily command.

I run into a problem using some fonts. Latin Modern is used instead and ConTeXt displays:
selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std Roman' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
Example:
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Caecilia LT Std Roman] %% doesn't work, either %% [tf=file:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf]
\setupbodyfont [mainface]
\starttext %% \definedfont [name:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman] %% this works \input knuth \stoptext
The font is in the database:
mtxrun -script fonts -list -all caecilia
This happens with other fonts too, not only Caecilia. Some fonts work, others don't. Couldn't find anything on the list, so I might be doing something wrong here. What's the issue here?
