OK, but why ? Reading the list, I see that you were still using it six
months ago ; is is deprecated now ?

This indeed let me get the font. But then, I can't get any en/em
dashes when typing -- / ---.

I have:

$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --info --pattern="delicious*roman"
MTXrun | fontname: deliciousroman
MTXrun | fullname: Delicious-Roman
MTXrun | filename: /usr/local/share/fonts/d/delicious_roman.otf
MTXrun |
MTXrun | gpos features:
MTXrun |
MTXrun | feature  script   languages
MTXrun |
MTXrun | kern     latn     dflt
MTXrun |
MTXrun | gsub features:
MTXrun |
MTXrun | feature  script   languages
MTXrun |
MTXrun | tlig     all      all
MTXrun | trep     all      all

but none of the following tests did succeed:

%=====
\starttext
\definefont[Myfont][name:Delicious-Roman][features=default]
\Myfont Goodbye --- cruel -- world
\stoptext

%=====
\starttext
\definefontfeature[default][mapping=tex-text]
\definefont[Myfont][name:Delicious-Roman][features=default]
\Myfont Goodbye --- cruel -- world
\stoptext

%=====
\starttext
\definefontfeature[default][tlig=yes,mapping=tex-text]
\definefont[Myfont][name:Delicious-Roman][features=default]
\Myfont Goodbye --- cruel -- world
\stoptext

%=====
\starttext
\definefontfeature[default][tlig=yes,script=latn,mapping=tex-text]
\definefont[Myfont][name:Delicious-Roman][features=default]
\Myfont Goodbye --- cruel -- world
\stoptext


Any thoughts ?

It's not ConTeXt style.

Sorry, my fault, the correct setup is:

\definefont[Myfont][name:Delicious-Roman*default]
