Hi,
For this example with simsun.ttc (it can be download from http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=2630):
\definefont[song][name:nsimsun] \starttext \song 测试 \stoptext
ConTeXt MkIV said:
fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded system > begin file b at line 3 fonts > otf loading > loading: selfautoparent:texmf-local/fonts/truetype/winfonts/simsun.ttc (hash: simsun-nsimsun) fonts > otf loading > font loaded okay fonts > otf loading > loading failed (file read error) fonts > defining > forced type ttc of simsun not found
I have tested the uming.ttc (AR PL UMing, it can be download from http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts/Download) and got the same error.
-- Best regards,

i wanted to load a ttc at one point, too, and failed. i found beer http://www.eonet.ne.jp/%7Ehirotsu/myware.html, a free software collection, and ported it’s ttc2ttf tool to python (as a challenge). you can find my port here http://pastebin.com/QXcAtP24, but it doesn’t get the magic numbers right. it works for me, though.
