What do you get from mtxrun --script=fonts --list --all --pattern=Optima

hermione:Export and Metapost gerben$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=optima identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances

Hm. Here, ConTeXt only found subfont #5 until I rebuilt the font cache, then it looked like yours.

And the minimal example (plus \starttext ... \stoptext) worked.

(Latest ConTeXt on MacOS Mojave.)

No such luck for me. Any help welcome. I did remove the macOS font cache with sudo atsutil databases -remove and I rebooted. I am running an up to date macOS Mojave.

I think Henning Hraban Ramm meant not OS font cache (but may be including it, I'm not a Mac OS user) but context font cache. Run $ mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force and try above '--list --all ...' command again and your example:

\starttext \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Optima] \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt]

{\bf Bold} and {\it Italic} and {\rm Regular} text. \stoptext

Hope this will resolve you issue. [...] --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Practically perfect people never permit sentiment to muddle their thinking. -- Mary Poppins
