Before I get anymore strawman arguments, here's the definitive experiment:
$ ls -U1 /usr/share/fonts/vista/ | grep erda
Verdanai.ttf
Verdana.ttf
Verdanaz.ttf
Verdanab.ttf
$ ls -U1 /xp/wtf/
Verdana.ttf
Verdanab.ttf
Verdanai.ttf
Verdanaz.ttf
Notice that the directory order is different, bold comes before bold
italic in wtf. I actually had to copy the files to a non-ext3
partition (NTFS actually) to get the order to change. Why? Because
with ext3 htree you have *no* control over the order in which the
directory is "laid out", because it's not a linear list anymore.
So, guess what happens if I do:
$ export OSFONTDIR=/xp/wtf/
$ mtxrun --script fonts --reload
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list | grep erda
verdana Verdana
/xp/wtf/Verdana.ttf
verdana bold Verdana Bold
/xp/wtf/Verdanab.ttf
verdana bold italic Verdana Bold Italic
/xp/wtf/Verdanaz.ttf
verdana italic Verdana Italic
/xp/wtf/Verdanai.ttf
$ context taco.tex | grep Verdana
)</xp/wtf/Verdanab.ttf></home/vga/context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf>
and the correct bold font is loaded in the PDF.
If you still think somehow that this is a problem with Verdana, look
carefully at this list of DejaVu fonts. Some get the bold, and for
some it's missing. It's haphazard depending on the disk order:

Now the easiest way for you to stop depending on the disk order of
directory entries is to sort the list you get from globbing. This will
work for bold vs bold italic, but it will probably break at some other
name sequence. The only reliable way is avoid clobbering existing
entries in the hash in the same --reload run. But this won't work for
incremental updates, since you can't tell whether you should drop an
old hash entry or not. So if you want to use hashing, you really need
a naming scheme that avoids creating conflicts.
XeTeX solves this problem by using *only* the ID 16 and ID 17 OpenType
values to create a unique name for system fonts. I actually filed a
bug about lack of support for the common ID 1/2 names, but Johnathan
WONTFIXED it because he really wants the font names to be unambiguous,
and using ID 1 and ID 2 values in addition to ID 16/17 doesn't
guarantee that. Your situation is worse, because you want to support
all sort of legacy fonts in that single hashtable.
Anyway, I've wasted enough of my time on this matter. If you sill
don't grok it, forget about it.
BTW, the Lua 5.1 "reference" manual is a joke. How do you printf a
boolean? What's the syntax for their definitely non-standard regexps.
No answers in that "reference".
