Many thanks for your replies, Thomas and Wolfgang.
My font directory /usr/share/fonts/ousia/ is actually a symlink to /home/ousia/Documents/ousia-fonts/.
It worked fine until newotf. I replaced the symlink. Now the font directory points to tex/texmf-fonts.
After changing this, both the sample I provided and the one from Wolfgang work fine.
I wonder why symlinks aren’t followed in the first case.
But I’m afraid I have a problematic font:
otf reader> fatal error in file '/home/ousia/ctxbeta/tex/texmf-fonts/ousia-fonts/Mechanica.otf': .../ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/util-fil.lua:24: table index is nil
I converted it from the typewritten fonts that came with txfonts.
What is wrong in the font?
It works for me when I use the Postscript files from the txfonts package, you need the following files: - txbtt.afm - txbtt.pfb - txbttsc.afm % Only needed when you want bold smallcaps - txbttsc.pfb % Only needed when you want bold smallcaps - txtt.afm - txtt.pfb - txttsc.afm % Only needed when you want smallcaps - txttsc.pfb % Only needed when you want smallcaps To use them put the files in your local TeX directory (e.g. texmf-fonts/fonts/data). %%%% begin example \definefontfamily [txfont] [tt] [txtt] [bf=file:txbtt, it=features:{default,slanted}, bi=features:{default,slanted}] \setupbodyfont[txfont] \starttext Test {\it Text} {\bf Text} {\bi Text} \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
