I’m normall using Optima Nova on my system, e.g. by defining a font like this:
\definefontfamily

    [tf=style:Medium,
     bf=style:Bold,
     it=style:Medium Italic,

\setupbodyfont[archimate]
I would like to experiment with Gill Sans, but that fails with

It is here:
/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental/GillSans.ttc
What should I do to be able to use that font?
Hi Gerben!

Sometimes ConTeXt can’t

$ mtxrun --script fonts identifier            familyname   fontname

gillsans              gillsans gillsanslight         gillsans gillsanslightitalic   gillsans

Only after $ mtxrun --script fonts I got:

$ mtxrun --script fonts identifier               familyname
