Thanks for these superquick answers! What a lively list!

@Wolfgang : You remember me that and it's helpful in many cases.
But my font sit in the list... Any other idea?
...
DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique
Liberation Serif:style=Bold Italic
InitiationRitualFont:style=Regular
Bitstream Vera Sans:style=Oblique
Linux Libertine:style=Bold
...

@Mojca : (yes for sure, you're right that I need a backup! Job for the week-end)
Oh yes, I've forgot the version... I've install ConTeXt two months
ago, not sure how to check the version of it :

ctxtools --version
CtxTools | version 1.3.3 - 2004/2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD

And

XeTeX 3.141592-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea version 3.5.6

As you differenciate the low-level font switching commands and the
high-level one (like Xetex), is the low-level the one that needs to
write a map file ("tree")? Sorry for that question which may seem
*very* basic!
