Sorry, Luigi, I meant
http://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/attachments/20230401/1f8c6cc9/attachment-0001.pdf.

According to type-imp-concrete.mkiv, text has the feature boldened-10
applied to it.

Even with a variable font (which might not be the case in the link
above), extending the font fakes the bold, such as in:

  \definefontfamily
    [mainface]
    [rm]
    [Source Sans 3 VF]
    [features={default, boldened-10}]

  \setupbodyfont[mainface]

  \starttext
  \input zapf
  \stoptext

Evince displays it poorly and this is what happens in the link above.

Pablo
