[NTG-context] ConTeXt beta issue? Was: Basic font question (Optima, but no bold, no italics). Standalone ConTeXt (beta) does not work. TeX Live 2019 works

24 Apr 2020

      As per the fuller console output I included (where you can find all the details of the run as put out by ConTeXt):

This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.05.01 
open source     > level 1, order 1, name 'cont-yes.mkiv'
system          > 
system          > ConTeXt  ver: 2020.04.03 10:31 MKIV beta  fmt: 2020.4.7  int: english/english
system          > 
system          > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded

If the standalone is used, it doesn’t work. If TeX Live 2019 is used, it does work.

Note, there is no ‘luatex’ command in the standalone. And I get a different output from the --version command for context:

$ context --version
mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: /usr/local/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2019.07.24 11:31
mtx-context     | main context file: /usr/local/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl
mtx-context     | current version: 2020.02.17 19:36

The version differences probably from

system          > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv

I seem to be running a beta. I seem to recall I installed that because Hans patched something, but I am uncertain. Hans?

Then I thought, let’s test some other things. I logged in as another user, and used ConTeXt from TeX Live 2019:

It seems to be that on my system, the standalone installed ConTeXt does not work with Optima, but the TeX Live installed one does.
So what’s your ConTeXt version?
context --version
current version: 2020.01.30 14:13
luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.11.1 (TeX Live 2020/dev)
Best, Hraban
