The requested font has no files for the 'tf' alternative
Hi! I run into a problem using some fonts. Latin Modern is used instead and ConTeXt displays: selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std Roman' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. Example: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Caecilia LT Std Roman] %% doesn't work, either %% [tf=file:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf] \setupbodyfont [mainface] \starttext %% \definedfont [name:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman] %% this works \input knuth \stoptext The font is in the database: mtxrun -script fonts -list -all caecilia This happens with other fonts too, not only Caecilia. Some fonts work, others don't. Couldn't find anything on the list, so I might be doing something wrong here. What's the issue here? context: 2017.03.02 22:23 Marco

Hi!
I run into a problem using some fonts. Latin Modern is used instead and ConTeXt displays:
selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std Roman' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
Example:
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Caecilia LT Std Roman] %% doesn't work, either %% [tf=file:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf]
\setupbodyfont [mainface]
\starttext %% \definedfont [name:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman] %% this works \input knuth \stoptext
The font is in the database:
mtxrun -script fonts -list -all caecilia
This happens with other fonts too, not only Caecilia. Some fonts work, others don't. Couldn't find anything on the list, so I might be doing something wrong here. What's the issue here?

Some time ago I faced the same problem: I tried to use one of Microsoft font but it didn't work, the only thing I saw in log was the same message. I solved the problem by deleting "font cache" luatex-cache/context/HASH/fonts and generating it again mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force (may be with '--force' option you may not delete the "cache" but it didn't hurt anyway). Hope this will help you. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message; I'll get back to you. This is Maria, Liberty Bail Bonds.

Thanks for the response. The same result with the rebuilt cache. Marco

Hi Marco, how about the following? \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Caecilia LT Std-Roman] What it works is a different font name. And I guess that Roman isn’t part of the font name, but this is the style. Just in case it might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Marco,
how about the following?
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Caecilia LT Std-Roman]
This also shows: selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std-Roman' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.

Sadly it does not. Marco
Hi Marco, there is a differenece between the family name of a font (which is used by \definefontfamily) and the individual name of a font. The differences between both names can be explained with a with a (kind of) real family. For my example I use the main cast of the Simpsons. Surname : Simpson Grandfather : Abraham Simpson Grandmother : Mona Simpson Father : Homer Simpson Mother : Marge Simpson Son : Bart Simpson Daughter : Lisa Simpson All members of the family use the same surname but each of them has also its individual name, the same system can be applied to your font collection. Family: Caecilia LT Std Light : Caecilia LT Std Light Lightitalic : Caecilia LT Std Light Italic Regular : Caecilia LT Std Roman Italic : Caecilia LT Std Italic Bold : Caecilia LT Std Bold Bolditalic : Caecilia LT Std Bold Italic Heavy : Caecilia LT Std Heavy Heavyitalic : Caecilia LT Std Heavy Italic Each font of your collection has its individual name, e.g. the regular style has the name “Caecilia LT Std Roman” but all styles use the same name for the family (i.e. “Caecilia LT Std”) which is used by \definefontfamily. When you now used a individual name instead of the family name for \definefontfamily you should get a message in log for the correct name, e.g. the following example \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella Regular] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext Font test! \stoptext shows this in the log selectfont > The name 'texgyrepagellaregular' is not a proper family name, use 'texgyrepagella' instead. selectfont > The requested font 'TeX Gyre Pagella Regular' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. which tells you to use “texgyrepagella” for the \definefontfamily command.

Thanks for the explanation, Wolfgang.
Each font of your collection has its individual name, e.g. the regular style has the name “Caecilia LT Std Roman” but all styles use the same name for the family (i.e. “Caecilia LT Std”) which is used by \definefontfamily.
That makes sense.
When you now used a individual name instead of the family name for \definefontfamily you should get a message in log for the correct name, e.g. the following example
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella Regular]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext Font test! \stoptext
shows this in the log
selectfont > The name 'texgyrepagellaregular' is not a proper family name, use 'texgyrepagella' instead. selectfont > The requested font 'TeX Gyre Pagella Regular' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
which tells you to use “texgyrepagella” for the \definefontfamily command.
Your example works for me. But it's still unclear what I'm doing wrong. According to your explanation this should work: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Caecilia LT Std] [tf=Caecilia LT Std Roman] However, it shows: selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. It appears that ConTeXt somehow can't find the font. Marco

There seem to be serious problems with font detection. I spent most of yesterday trying to convince ConTeXt to load my font, even from the same directory and even proven candidates like Gentium and Delicious – I get mostly only TeX Gyre Palladio Math :( While a simple example works: \usetypescriptfile[type-fiee] \usetypescript[fiee] \setupbodyfont[fiee,rm,9.5pt] \starttext \input tufte {\ss \input knuth } \stoptext The same code in an environment doesn’t. I tried force-reloading the font database several times, deleting the luatex cache, reverting to an older version - always the same. I’m out of resources now.

Sorry for hijacking the other thread.
While I saw the same error message at some time, I seem to have a different problem.

Ahoi, while I found a workaround for my problem, I still don’t understand the cause: – I defined a family of Gentium and Delicious in a typescript file (as attached in my previous post), – If I load this in a minimal example, as above, all is well. – If I load this in an environment, the fonts are ignored. There are no error messages. – If I change the font size from 9.5pt to any integer size, it works! Does this ring any bells? What’s wrong with decimal font sizes, and why only in a project setup?

Thanks to Wolfgang's assistance I figured that the syntax in my OP was correct and the issue is with my installation. It works for me in a virgin installation, but throws the abovementioned error in my current installation. I don't know what borked my installation and why it only affected some fonts and not others. So sorry for the noise and thanks for quick responses. Marco

I had some problems with fonts and removing it was the way of solving them. You can remove the font cache with
mtxrun --script cache --fonts --erase and the complete cache with mtxrun --script cache --erase The font cache is regenerated with mtxrun --script fonts --reload and the normal cache (which is needed to use context, fonts etc. scripts) with mtxrun --generate Wolfgang

and the complete cache with

I don't know if those commands would have helped. Since it doesn't store any personal information I purged my context installation and did a reinstall. Now all fonts work.
The font cache is regenerated with
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
I tried that (without clearing the cache) before, but to no avail. Marco
