Yes, they are listed. And I even get the fonts loaded when the font family is different: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Pagella] [tf={file:texgyrepagella-bolditalic.otf}, bf={file:texgyrepagella-italic.otf}, it={file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf}] I may use them with \definefont[TestMM][file:texgyrepagella-regular-2000.otf at 10pt] But not with \definefontfamily.

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Pagella] [tf={file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf}, bf={file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf}, it={file:texgyrepagella-regular-2000.otf}]

\setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext normal\\ \bf bold\\ \it italics \stoptext

Sorry, but I don’t get the fonts for \bf and \it loaded.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

... I can reproduce this. That means ConTeXt won’t let you use a regular-weight font face as the bold version of a font family, nor an upright font as an italic one, which in my opinion is rather a good thing.

That is simply wrong. Not only will ConTeXt happily let you do that, it is sometimes a good thing to do. In a font with many weights, you have to select appropriate faces for the medium or printing method, and using a light face for the normal and a regular weight (whatever that means for the font) for bold emphasis. Or you may want change the way emphasis is used to make a point, and reverse bold and italic in one swell foop. The example on the wiki page for \definefontfamily shows some of this in action, but ConTeXt does not get in the way of doing even sillier things: \definefontfamily [reutenauer] [rm] [sourcecodepro] [tf=style:bolditalic, it=file:kabelblack.ttf, bf=style:normal, bi=file:comic.ttf] \setupbodyfont [reutenauer] \starttext tf: {\tf \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par it: {\it \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par bf: {\bf \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par bi: {\bi \fontname\font\ \samplefile{ward}}\par \stoptext -- Rik

Are you sure about the syntax of definefotnfamily ? You can check conflicts with $> mtxrun --script fonts --info --list --all pagella

PS Experimenting is sometime the only way to learn, but it's clear that it's mandatory to use a sandbox. Modifying only some names can be ok with \definefont but it's very likely that all these texgyrepagella-regular-*.otf manually patched are in conflict -- they go into the cache, so it can happen that silently context use texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf instead of texgyrepagella-regular.otf . At least mtxrun --script pdf --fonts <pdffile> should show you the right names. -- luigi
