I’m normall using Optima Nova on my system, e.g. by defining a font like this:

\definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima nova LT Pro] [tf=style:Medium, bf=style:Bold, it=style:Medium Italic, bi=style:Bold Italic] \setupbodyfont[archimate]

I would like to experiment with Gill Sans, but that fails with

fonts > defining > unable to define 'GillSans.ttc' as 'archimate-14pt-ss-tf-0--0'

It is here:

/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental/GillSans.ttc

What should I do to be able to use that font?

Hi Gerben!

Sometimes ConTeXt can’t find the subfonts in TTCs, e.g.:

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=Gill identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances

gillsans gillsans gillsanslightitalic /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc 9 gillsanslight gillsans gillsanslightitalic /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc 9 gillsanslightitalic gillsans gillsanslightitalic /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc 9

Only after $ mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force

Hi Henning! Thanks, that was what I needed. Apparently, the update from macOS Mojave to macOS Catalina had moved the Gill Sans font so I had to do teh reload.

I got:
