now, with --xtx switch, I get this error

That's because of ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman] [name:CharterBT-Roman] % or: [bchr8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Italic] [name:CharterBT-Italic] % or: [bchri8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Bold] [name:CharterBT-Bold] % or: [bchb8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldItalic] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic] % or: [bchbi8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Slanted] [name:CharterBT-Italic] % or: [bchri8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldSlanted] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic] % or: [bchbi8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman-Caps] [name:CharterBT-SmallCap] % or: [bchrc8a] The fonts are on http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/charter/ and I can add them, but there is still one problem. Since fonts are defined this way, you would need to configure fc-config to look for fonts in that directory in order to find the font. Or one would need to change the definition. Hans - what would be the implications for LuaTeX if name:CharterBT-Roman was changed into file:bchr8a ? Not suggesting that yet, only asking.
and without --xtx switch this one
(/home/diego/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-gyr.tex) ! Font \*map7ptrmtfss*:=texnansi-bchr8a at 6.64998pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
The files are under http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-fnt.zip Many of the files included there are obsolete now, that's why I didn't include them at the first place. But this one is not. Quick fix: unzip those files into texmf-local for example (or texmf, but you need to be careful not to use the --delete switch then). Proper fix - Hans, Taco, should I filter the useful files out of that zip and add them to the minimals? Which ones? Mojca

This is a dud/bug: there really is no font named "CharterBT-SmallCap". The name was accidentally created when converting from tfm to actual font names (fontinst and texfont both have a virtual small caps and an oblique charter font, but is totally artificial). \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman-Caps] [file:bchrc8a] hopefully fixes that. The rest of the typescript should be fine.

Yes, but proposing a truly minimal set is beyond me. Charter, Utopia and Verdana are useful for sure. I am not so sure about antp and lbr, but perhaps it is easiest to simply include all fonts that are not superseded by tex-gyre. Best wishes, Taco

Texfont is always on my desktop waiting to be read, so I understood the 5% of this discussion, but this list is very, very helpful. Many thanks -- Diego Depaoli
