I want to use \bf and \it with sinplefonts. Is this the only way to get a bold style? Without it I didn't get a bold style. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[NexusSerif-Regular] \definesimplefont[bf][NexusSerif-Bold][size=12pt] \starttext \bf \input knuth \stoptext the names are: rawname="NexusSerif-Bold", rawname="NexusSerif-Regular", [ ... ] Herbert

I know, but this is not my problem, I want to know, why I do _not_ get a bold without such a definition. I thought that simplefonts will do the job ... \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[NexusSerif-Regular] \starttext \rm\bf is not in bold! Why? \stoptext Herbert

\usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[NexusSerif-Regular]
May be you should say \setmainfont[NexusSerif] without the Regular part (which might be causing context to look for NexusSerif-Regular-Bold which would not, normally, exist). Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
