Hi

now I'm trying to use Optima.

So I assembled a type-optima.tex with this:

\starttypescript [sans] [optima]

\definefontsynonym [OptimaRegular] [name:Optima Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [OptimaBold] [name:Optima Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [OptimaBoldItalic] [name:Optima Bold Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [OptimaExtraBlack] [name:Optima ExtraBlack] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [OptimaItalic] [name:Optima Italic] [features=default]

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans] [optima]

\definefontsynonym [Sans] [OptimaRegular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [OptimaItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [OptimaBold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [OptimaBoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansExtra] [OptimaExtraBlack] [features=default]

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript
\definetypeface[optima][rm][sans][optima][default]
\definetypeface[optima][ss][sans][optima][default]
\definetypeface[optima][tt][mono][modern]  [default][rscale=1.12]
\definetypeface[optima][mm][math][iwona]   [default][rscale=1.02]
\stoptypescript




Then, did the usual stuff.
But the pdf  from

\usetypefile [optima]
\usetypescript[optima]
\setupbodyfont[optima]

\starttext
Oh yes, I'm a test, baby

{\bf there's a little} {\em black} {\sc spot}

in the sun today
\stoptext       

uses LM.
The console says:

....
specials       : fdf loaded
) (type-optima.tex)

...

the font file is Optima.dfont


Best

Hello Andrea,

before proceeding any further ... where on earth did you find exactly
that font? :) :) :)

It's a "resource-based" Type1 font or whatever they call it. I don't
believe that LuaTeX supports such fonts at all, but maybe Taco can
correct me. XeTeX only supports those fonts when using xdv2pdf engine
(xdvipdfmx doesn't honor them). And I would say "if you really wanted
to use those fonts in ConTeXt, there is a way, but hardcoded deep down
in ConTeXt core".

Btw: with the fonts that you have sent me, the definitions should be

\starttypescript [sans] [delicious]
\definefontsynonym [Delicious-Regular] [file:DelicRom] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-Italic] [file:DelicIta] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-Bold] [file:DelicBol] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-BoldItalic] [file:DelicBolIta] [features=default]
% it should be features=smallcaps for normal fonts
\definefontsynonym [Delicious-Caps] [file:DelicSmaCap] [features=default]
\stoptypescript

But the font doesn't work with LuaTeX anyway (it could work in XeTeX),
so do not even try. The name after "file:" needs to match the
filename.
