Although this specific issue might have been solved meanwhile by the helpful
suggestions of Wolfang, Thomas and others, I would like to point out that I
have recently also encountered an odd behaviour of the mtxrun fontloader in the
standalone, in which not all typefaces are available/properly identified.
(I’m sorry to hijack this thread if this is unrelated.)
Basically, when I load “Helvetica Neue”, I get instead of “regular/normal”
always “light/italic”.
I have switched to heros for the meantime, but potentially there is some bug
behind this. (My documents with the version from Dec/Jan worked fine.)
I recite my example from Wed:
ConTeXt ver: 2020.01.30 14:13 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.4.22 (LuaTeX 1.11.1)
and I’m running now into troubles with system font indexing:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
locates fonts in macOS directories appropriately (*.afm fonts placed in
.../tex/texmf-fonts are not found, but at the moment I don’t care too much),
however it resolves only to a single font variant for *.ttc instead of all
variants:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=helvetica
helvetica helvetica
helveticalightoblique /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc
6
helveticalightoblique helvetica
helveticalightoblique /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc
6
helveticaneuedeskinterfaceheavy helveticaneuedeskinterface
helveticaneuedeskinterfaceheavy
/System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc 10
helveticaneuethinitalic helveticaneue
helveticaneuethinitalic /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.ttc
14
As a consequence, when I run
\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Helvetica Neue]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 12pt, sans]
I get the light oblique variant instead of the regular one. I have tried to fix
this via a
\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Helvetica Neue][tf=style:normal]
but apparently I understand too little about this setup altogether …
Thanks already for any suggestions!
