I’m normall using Optima Nova on my system, e.g. by defining a font like this:


\definefontfamily
    [archimate]
    [ss]
    [Optima nova LT Pro]
    [tf=style:Medium,
     bf=style:Bold,
     it=style:Medium Italic,
     bi=style:Bold Italic]
\setupbodyfont[archimate]

I would like to experiment with Gill Sans, but that fails with

fonts           > defining > unable to define 'GillSans.ttc' as 'archimate-14pt-ss-tf-0--0'

It is here:

/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental/GillSans.ttc

What should I do to be able to use that font?

Hi Gerben!

Sometimes ConTeXt can’t find the subfonts in TTCs, e.g.:

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=Gill
identifier            familyname   fontname              filename                      subfont   instances

gillsans              gillsans     gillsanslightitalic   /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   9
gillsanslight         gillsans     gillsanslightitalic   /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   9
gillsanslightitalic   gillsans     gillsanslightitalic   /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   9


Only after
$ mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force
I got:

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=Gill
identifier               familyname   fontname                 filename                      subfont   instances

gillsans                 gillsans     gillsans                 /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   1
gillsansblack            gillsans     gillsansultrabold        /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   7
gillsansbold             gillsans     gillsansbold             /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   2
gillsansbolditalic       gillsans     gillsansbolditalic       /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   4

gillsanslight            gillsans     gillsanslight            /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   8
gillsanslightitalic      gillsans     gillsanslightitalic      /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   9
gillsansnormal           gillsans     gillsans                 /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   1
gillsansregular          gillsans     gillsans                 /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   1
gillsanssemibold         gillsans     gillsanssemibold         /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   5
gillsanssemibolditalic   gillsans     gillsanssemibolditalic   /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   6
gillsansultrabold        gillsans     gillsansultrabold        /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc   7

Please check this on your system, and then try the names of the first column.

Hi Henning!

Thanks, that was what I needed. Apparently, the update from macOS Mojave to macOS Catalina had moved the Gill Sans font so I had to do teh reload.
