[Context] [Bug 786222] [NEW] TTF and OTF fonts work erratically
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c895bd3d6ad73d1abda4802b676cdca4.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Public bug reported: I'm using latest snapshot of ConTeXt minimals on x86_64 Linux and trying to use TTF and OTF fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts. ConTeXt version is 2011.05.18 22:26. What I have done so far: ./first-setup.sh source ./tex/setuptex export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts;/usr/local/share/fonts/" mtxrun --script fonts --reload context font.tex There are two issues which are apparent in the font.tex example file attached: 1) If I comment the \setupbodyfont -line, or for example write \setupbodyfont[modern,12pt], the two fonts I have defined will disappear and be replaced with the default Latin Modern font. 2) The fonts will not display if I use a small font size. For example, with \setupbodyfont[LeagueScript,30pt] the page number will be formatted with League Script, but with \setupbodyfont[LeagueScript,12pt] it will be shown with Latin Modern.

Is this a problem report for ConTeXt itself or for the distribution of it (a.k.a minimals)? If it is a pure ConTeXt problem that could exist in other distributions such as TeXlive, then please report this to the context mailing list or to the tracker (http://tracker.luatex.org/) (It seems that also the minimals tracker has moved to the given URL. - right?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of ConTeXt distribution team, which is the registrant for ConTeXt distribution. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786222 Title: TTF and OTF fonts work erratically Status in ConTeXt distribution: New Bug description: I'm using latest snapshot of ConTeXt minimals on x86_64 Linux and trying to use TTF and OTF fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts.

Ok and thanks. I'll research further before seeing if there actually is a bug or not and what distribution of MKIV it is related to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of ConTeXt distribution team, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786222 Title: TTF and OTF fonts work erratically Status in ConTeXt distribution: New Bug description: I'm using latest snapshot of ConTeXt minimals on x86_64 Linux and trying to use TTF and OTF fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts.
