Weird, I use LuaMetaTeX 2.11.07 20250226
Ah, my binaries must have not updated properly since I still had 2.11.06. I deleted the binaries and reran the updater, so I now have 2.11.07. I also deleted the system and user format/font caches just in case there was a problem there.
When compiled with "context", I get the error message
I get no error an no slanted font.
but when compiled with "context --nocompactfonts", I get the correct result.
I’m afraid I get no slanted fonts with "--nocompactfonts".
I tried it again now (after updating), and with compact fonts I still get the same error, and with "--nocompactfonts" I get the reverse-slanted font, as expected.
in Linux-64 with that version.
Hmm, I'm also on Linux x86_64 with the same version, so it's really weird that we get different results.
I also have been experiencing an issue already reported before (https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/thread/GWDVD3CNPJQOH...).
Either slanted is specified for \definefontfamily or it doesn’t work for \definefallbackfamily:
\enableexperiments[fonts.compact] \definefallbackfamily [mainface][rm][Dejavu Sans] [sl={style:regular, features:slanted},preset=range:greek] \definefontfamily [mainface][rm][Latin Modern Sans] %[sl={style:regular, features:slanted}] \setupbodyfont [mainface] \starttext αβγ9 some word others\\ \sl αβγ9 some word others \stoptext
I wonder whether these issues might be somehow related.
I tried compiling that document just now, and with the "sl=" uncommented, I get the correctly-slanted Greek letters, both with and without compact fonts enabled. This is really weird. Maybe try deleting your luametatex binary and rerunning the updater to make sure that your binaries are up-to-date, and try deleting your user/system font/format caches? Thanks, -- Max
