Hi,
the features from OpenType fonts are not accesable for all fonts, I tried to use my old test case for Microsofts Cambria fonts and none of the features did work, also kerning is disabled.
I put the files with the result from last year and the latest stable online. http://schuster.wolfgang.googlepages.com/files
I saw this effect also in a few other fonts where I was unable to select features in the font like oldstyle or smallcaps.

IIRC, \Var depends on a very particular way of writing typescripts, and is currently considered deprecated by Hans, and that there is a new way to do things like this using \setfontfeature or something similar. Hans will know for sure (but he at bachotex right now)
Best wishes, Taco

This did also happen with [feature=...] in typescripts or with \setfontfeature in a document. A few fonts like Pagella or Linux Libertine work as expected but Cambria is a example where none of both methods work.
\Var is really obsolete because \setfontfeature is more powerfull, I wrote my file before \setfontfeature was available and it should nevetheless still work but I don't need it.

I wrote a simpler example and compiled it with my old and my current ConTeXt.

Hi Wolfgang,
it seems that some fonts need script=latn in \definefontfeature. (i copied and pasted from font-ini.tex)
So your file works here:
-------------------------- % engine=luatex
\definefontfeature [default] [script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes]
\definefontfeature [smallcaps] [script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,smcp=yes]
\definefontfeature [oldstyle] [script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,onum=yes]
\definefont[pan][file:texgyrepagella-regular*default] \definefont[pas][file:texgyrepagella-regular*smallcaps] \definefont[pao][file:texgyrepagella-regular*oldstyle]

[list with new definitons]
I will test it latter today on my own system, I wonder if latin was set in a older version from ConTeXt because it worked and if it could be included in the default definitions from font-ini.

I looked into font-ini from my old installation and all fontfeatures where defined with the latin script, would be interesting to know why this has changed and if there is a reason for this.

The example works now as expected.
Thank you very much Lutz, for the solution.
