[...] so I seem back to square one in this respect :-(. I can only assume that this has been caused by the `--reload' run (see item 1. above: intitially `optima' italics worked) and/or maybe still fragile support of these `ttc' (true type collection) files? just a guess.

what am I doing wrong _this_ time?

Hi Jörg,

I cannot tell, but maybe there is something that might work.

From your ConTeXt Suite directory, remove tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/.

And then compile the documents with Optima and EB Garamond. (ConTeXt will perform the required tasks before.)

--reload didn’t work for me and this method worked. I remove tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/ everytime I install a new font.

There is no need to remove the latex-cache folder because you can use the force option (i.e. mtxrun —script font —reload —force) to rebuild the whole cache.

thanks to both of you. in fact, just doing `mtxrun —script font —reload —force' restored sane behaviour (italics back again etc.). so, I understand that _this_ actually rebuilds the font data base? what, then, is just issuing `--reload' good for? I also don't understand, why `context' got apparently confused (i.e. stopped recognizing `optima italics') by issuing just `mtxrun —script font —reload' (which I did -- successfully -- to make `context' recognize the newly installed EB Garamond font). joerg
