I intend to use it! So, yes, I had not used it at this point, and
your explanation now makes sense.
In the test example I have, I have now placed a line: \ss My text, and I see that it now loads the sans serif font. But can you explain why it loads the math font, given that I have not, as yet, used that anywhere (and may not - it is there for insurance in case such a glyph is needed)?

Be assured that the ss typeface is available. So if, for example, I comment out the first line ([rm]) and change the Libris to rm instead, I am told: mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 2 files: librisadfstd-regular.otf, texgyrepagella-math.otf In other words, only two, not three definitions are working at any one time. Or is it not accepting [ss] for some reason regardless? I have tried any number of existing sans serif fonts and none of them will load. I know the family names are correct, so that is not the problem. What could I be doing wrong?Are you actually using sans serif text in your document? If not, then context has no reason to embed a subset of it in the PDF. It is the same reason by the teletype [tt] font has not been loaded. Aditya
