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.

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?
