Important for simplefonts are the entries in the first colums, you can use

Ah, that is what I was looking for. Bold works now! Thank you! :-)
There's still one problem though: italic doesn't work.
Is there a file for the italic style?
I guess the font doesn't provide that feature by itself, but can it be emulated/enabled?
ConTeXt can fake the slanted and bold style but they are not the same as a real italic and bold font.
The --info output for normal ... mtx-fonts | family : telegrotesknor
... and bold: mtx-fonts | family : telegroteskfet
What would be the preferred way to setup the font in this scenario? As you can see from this two entries the fonts internal names are a mess, both should be “family: telegrotesk” for a proper names font but this isn’t the case here and the reason why automatic detection fails.
AFAIK the font was designed by URW who I would expect to do better than that ... but well, it's an old font and maybe it was done in a hurry :D
No, also new fonts can be a mess and there are too many information and names in a font which show sometimes very different values. Wolfgang
