More ebgaramond issues (newotf, finding fonts and kerning)

More ebgaramond issues (newotf, finding fonts and kerning)

Three problems with ebgaramond.

  * With the new otf loading facility, kerning is not done.
  * With the new otf loading facility, the regular 8pt face is not
    found. If one is changing font size via \tfxx, the font size is not
    changed. If one is changing font size via \switchbodyfont[8pt],
    Latin Modern 8pt is substituted.
  * With the oldotf module loaded kerning is as expected for the 12pt
    regular face, the 8pt regular face, and the 8pt italic face. The
    12pt italic face, however, is not kerned.

    %\usemodule[oldotf]% uncomment to see previous otf handling
    \showfontkerns
    \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond]
    \def\Test{Vowel Tavern Tomato {\it Vowel Tavern Tomato}\par}
    \starttext
    \Test
    {\tfxx
    \Test}
    \switchtobodyfont[8pt]
    \Test
    \stoptext

This was tested on W10/64 using ConTeXt  ver: 2015.10.09 21:28 MKIV 
beta  fmt: 2015.11.1  int: english/english, with EBGaramond files 
version 0.016 (April 2014) installed in C:\Windows\Fonts. Same results 
with luajittex (This is LuajitTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 
2015/W32TeX) (rev 5238)) and luatex (This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.81.1 
(TeX Live 2015/W32TeX) (rev 5442)).

Is this a problem with my font installation, or is it a general problem?

Tried locally on W8.1/64 and otherwise same ConTeXt and EBGaramond files I see similar issues (expect maybe kerning is done with new otf loading).

i have a fix in the next beta but keep in mind that eb is a moving 
target and that each version of the font is different

I understand that eb is a moving target. Except for the recognition of 
the 12italic, however, this looked more like a newotf issue, and that is 
why I thought it important to document.

Thank you for the upcoming fix.
