I guess I am missing something in my font handling here, but do not know what. Hans van der Meer This is the minimal example: \def\fontname{antykwa} \setupbodyfont[\fontname] \starttext Requested font = \fontname.\crlf \showbodyfont \stoptext This is my setup with respect to fonts: context/tex/texmf-fonts (link to /usr/local/textlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts Executed: mtxrun --script fonts --reload Executed: mtxrun --script fonts --list --name antykwa giving as output: antykwatorunskaregular antykwatorunskaregular AntykwaTorunska-Regular.otf Below is the output of the minimal example. Mark that \showbodyfont names modern, not antykwa. I get the same result with other fonts mentioned in "fonts in context" page 69-71 as preloaded typescripts! For example calling typeface cambria it even gives an error: !
