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

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.

i wanted to load a ttc at one point, too, and failed.

i found beer, a free software collection, and ported it’s ttc2ttf tool to python (as a challenge).

you can find my port here, but it doesn’t get the magic numbers right. it works for me, though.
