Hello, I want to get bold text - without "simplefonts" it is working - with "simplefonts" it does not work. What is wrong and what do I have to do? My example: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Allerlight] \starttext This is not bold! {\bf Is this bold?} This is not bold! \stoptext Regards Jannis

The module can’t find italic, bold etc. alternatives when don’t match a certain name pattern, in your case for “Aller Light” the normal “Aller” font has to be used for the bold alternative but the module is looking for “Aller Light Bold” which doesn’t exist. To have a bold alternative besides this limitation you can say which font should be used for bold, see below how this can be done.
My example:
\usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Allerlight]
\setmainfont[Allerlight][boldfont={Aller},bolditalicfont={Aller Italic}] Wolfgang
