Hi Hraban,

Thanks for the hint (and the proper fontfamily setup), I have forced reload ten 
times now from various accounts; the issue persists unfortunately. 

This might confirm Taco‘s notion that there is some bug lmtx. I’m running macOS 
Catalina too, but as it worked with the standalone of Dec/Jan three days ago, I 
suspect it is not because of a new feature in the OS, but rather an old feature 
in mtxrun or elsewhere having disappeared.
