Hi,
Using the latest ConTeXt (2025.02.19), negative slants are broken with compact fonts. Example document:
Hi Max, my current latest is from 2025.02.28 18:16.
\definefontfeature[default][default][Slant=-1]
\startTEXpage Hello, world! \stopTEXpage
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". Weird, I use LuaMetaTeX 2.11.07 20250226 and I have to enable compact fonts in Linux-64 with that version. 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. Just in case it might help, Pablo
