I am having difficulties writing a typescript for the Caslon font that's on my
system.
The following works:
\definetypeface[Caslon-Bold][rm][Xserif][CaslonOldFaceBT-Heavy]
\definetypeface[Caslon-Italic][rm][Xserif][CaslonOldFaceBT-Italic]
\definetypeface[Caslon-Regular][rm][Xserif][CaslonOldFaceBT-Roman]
\starttext
Testing
\switchtobodyfont[Caslon-Regular] Testing
\switchtobodyfont[Caslon-Bold] Testing
\switchtobodyfont[Caslon-Italic] Testing
\stoptext
However, I tried to write a simple typescript for the same font. I came up
with the following:
\starttypescript[serif][caslon][uc]
\definetypeface[CaslonRegular][CaslonOldFaceBT-Roman][encoding=uc]
\definetypeface[CaslonItalic][CaslonOldFaceBT-Italic][encoding=uc]
\definetypeface[CaslonBold][CaslonOldFaceBT-Heavy][encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[serif][caslon][name]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [CaslonRegular]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [CaslonItalic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [CaslonBold]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[caslon][uc]
\definetypeface[caslon][rm][serif][caslon][default][encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[caslon][uc]
\setupbodyfont[caslon, 12pt]
\starttext
Testing {\bf Testing} {\it Testing}
\stoptext
It fails to compile on the \setupbodyfont line.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but every variation I've tried ends up with
a compile error, or the caslon font is never loaded and it reverts back to the
default font.

Fonts in XeTeX are still a mystery to me, but from what I've learned
in the last months, it seems that the syntax for luatex typescripts
can and should also be used for XeTeX. This works on my system (latest
beta):
file: type-caslon.tex
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttypescript [serif] [caslon]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Roman] [file:ACaslonPro-
Regular] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold] [file:ACaslonPro-Bold]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Italic] [file:ACaslonPro-
Italic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold-Italic] [file:ACaslonPro-
BoldItalic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-SmallCaps] [file:ACaslonPro-
Regular] [features=smallcaps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [caslon]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Caslon-Roman]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Caslon-Italic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Caslon-Bold] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Caslon-Bold-Italic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Caslon-SmallCaps]
[features=smallcaps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [Caslon]
\definetypeface [Caslon] [rm] [serif] [caslon] [default]
\stoptypescript
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
and then:
\usetypescriptfile[type-caslon]
\usetypescript[Caslon]
\setupbodyfont[Caslon,12pt]
\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext
HTH

Hello Bart,
Try
\starttypescript[serif][caslon][uc]
\definefontsynonym[CaslonRegular][name:CaslonOldFaceBT-Roman][encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[CaslonItalic][name:CaslonOldFaceBT-Italic][encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[CaslonBold][name:CaslonOldFaceBT-Heavy][encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[serif][caslon][name]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [CaslonRegular]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [CaslonItalic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [CaslonBold]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[caslon][uc]
\definetypeface[caslon][rm][serif][caslon][default][encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[caslon][uc]
\setupbodyfont[caslon, 12pt]
\starttext
Testing {\bf Testing} {\it Testing}
\stoptext
Note the two changes: \definetypeface's in the first typescript have
been replaced with \definefontsynonym commands, and the font names have
been prepended with "name:", forcing XeTeX to look for an installed font
instead of a TFM (in plain XeTeX, you get the same result by surrounding
the font name with double quotes).
I am unable to test the typescript because I don't have Caslon Old
Face, but it works when I replace the font names with the appropriate
faces from Adobe Caslon, which I have.
Arthur
