Fallbacks (at least the range I tested) do not work with the roman face of Linux Libertine O in the new (core) simplefonts implementation. I first thought that this might be a Libertine issue, but further testing makes me suspect it may be a simplefonts issue. Or perhaps I have used the wrong syntax with the new implementation.

I can reproduce it and it does also happen with a typescript only solution (depends on how you define the fallback font) but it seems to happen only with the Linux Libertine font.

Below is a minimal example which demonstrates the problem. The version where with \definefontsynonym is also used by simplefonts and this is where the fallback font isn’t used for Libertine Regular, you can also see fonts > defining > font with asked name 'GentiumPlus' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font 'GentiumPlus', loading aborted as message on the console. In the second case where I set the fallback font with \definefontfallback you get the fallback font for Libertine Regular. % one: load the fallback font from a synonym \definefontsynonym [GentiumPlus] [file:gentiumplusr.ttf] [features=default] \definefontfallback [libertine-fallback-1] [GentiumPlus] [0x02053] \definefontsynonym [LibertineOneRegular] [file:linlibertiner.otf] [features=default,fallbacks=libertine-fallback-1] \definefontsynonym [LibertineOneItalic] [file:linlibertineri.otf] [features=default,fallbacks=libertine-fallback-1] % two: direct loading of the fallback font \definefontfallback [libertine-fallback-2] [file:gentiumplusr.ttf*default] [0x02053] \definefontsynonym [LibertineTwoRegular] [file:linlibertiner.otf] [features=default,fallbacks=libertine-fallback-2] \definefontsynonym [LibertineTwoItalic] [file:linlibertineri.otf] [features=default,fallbacks=libertine-fallback-2] \starttext \starttabulate \NC One Regular \EQ \definedfont[LibertineOneRegular] ⁓⁗ \NC\NR \NC One Italic \EQ \definedfont[LibertineOneItalic] ⁓⁗ \NC\NR \NC Two Regular \EQ \definedfont[LibertineTwoRegular] ⁓⁗ \NC\NR \NC Two Italic \EQ \definedfont[LibertineTwoItalic] ⁓⁗ \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang
