Thank you.
It could help if I would understand ConTeXt better. The link gives me a grammar
for a command, but doesn’t tell me what to put in.
I tried many, many different permutations, I tried everything I could find on
ConTeXtgarden (but then, that also finds me stuff from 15 years ago that isn’t
valid anymore), but no luck so far.
The last I tried was
\starttypescript [sans] [optima]
\setups[font:fallback:sans]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Regular)]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansBold] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Bold)]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Italic)]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Bold Italic)]
[features=default]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface [optima] [ss] [sans] [optima] [default]
\definetypeface [optima] [rm] [serif] [optima] [default]
\definetypeface [optima] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default]
\definetypeface [optima] [mm] [math] [pagella] [default]
\definefallbackfamily
[optima]
[ss]
[file:Helvetica.ttc]
[preset=range:cyrillic,
force=yes]
\setupbodyfont [optima]
The error is:
fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'optima'
open source > level 3, order 6, name
'/usr/local/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv'

selectfont > the requested fallback font 'file:Helvetica.ttc' for typeface
'optima' style 'ss' was ignored because no files where found.
Which is weird because Optima.ttc is in the same directory and it is found.
I have a lot o difficulty understanding any of the documentation (as far as it
is available for the subjects and commands I am lookng for).
For instance: what is the difference between the “Syntax (autogenerated)” and
“Syntax entries on ConTeXtgarden? If they differ which one should I take? If
you tell me “preset=range:cyrillic and what I find says "range=cyrillic", which
one do I use ( in this case, changing did not help). There are just too many
things that can be different for tial and error to be effective.
But anyway, even if I could understand it, I can’t find anything useful (that
is: something that works or makes me try something that works) about font
fallbacks. Spending hours of looking (losing a lot of sleep) and then having to
bother the list again is very frustrating. Why isn’t this straightforward? I am
sorry, everybody is very helpful, but the frustration mounts again.
