I have no problem if this is so.
I encountered another problem in my own typescripts for Charis SIL,
I could use the bold style when I use the file name but not for the font name.
Try this:
\starttypescript [serif] [charissil]
\setups[font:fallback:serif]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [CharisSIL-Regular]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [CharisSIL-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [CharisSIL-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [CharisSIL-BoldItalic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [charissil]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Regular] [file:CharisSILR]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Italic] [file:CharisSILI]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Bold] [file:CharisSILB]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-BoldItalic] [file:CharisSILBI]
[features=default]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [charissil]
\definetypeface [charissil] [rm] [serif] [charissil] [default]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[charissil]
\setupbodyfont[charissil]
\starttext
\tf Text
\it Text
\bf Text
\bi Text
\stoptext
I get all four style in the output but when I use the font name in the
definition
the normal bold style is replace by the bolditalic style.
\starttypescript [serif] [charissil]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Regular] [name:Charis SIL]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Italic] [name:Charis SIL Italic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-Bold] [name:Charis SIL Bold]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [CharisSIL-BoldItalic] [name:Charis SIL Bold
Italic] [features=default]
\stoptypescript
