Fonts in XeTeX are still a mystery to me, but from what I've learned
in the last months, it seems that the syntax for luatex typescripts
can and should also be used for XeTeX. This works on my system (latest
beta):
file: type-caslon.tex
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttypescript [serif] [caslon]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Roman] [file:ACaslonPro-
Regular] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold] [file:ACaslonPro-Bold]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Italic] [file:ACaslonPro-
Italic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold-Italic] [file:ACaslonPro-
BoldItalic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-SmallCaps] [file:ACaslonPro-
Regular] [features=smallcaps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [caslon]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Caslon-Roman]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Caslon-Italic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Caslon-Bold] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Caslon-Bold-Italic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Caslon-SmallCaps]
[features=smallcaps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [Caslon]
\definetypeface [Caslon] [rm] [serif] [caslon] [default]
\stoptypescript
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
and then:
\usetypescriptfile[type-caslon]
\usetypescript[Caslon]
\setupbodyfont[Caslon,12pt]
\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext
