I can reproduce it using MnSymbol5.otf with my code and -- what's more worrying -- with ConTeXt itself.
I don't find this very worrying: Bugs which can be reproduced on common systems can be solved more easily. ;-)
taco and i spent quite some time today in testing lots of fonts, and we think that in the latest beta locating by name works ok; however, there are so many weird fonts out there that we probably need to spend a week figuring out what to do with them .. be tolerant or just reject them; currently our tests with many (also very huge) fonts run into problems due to memory usage when finalizing the pdf file (we're talking gig's of memory here) so that's another issue we will try to address (sometime after the context conference) in any case in mkiv we will have some mechanism where certain fonts are rejected from the name database (one can still load them by file: but at least they dont get reported then by --list); think of those cm super fonts Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
