Hi,
I've copied the files GARA.TTF, GARABD.TTF and GARAIT.TTF (Monotype
Garamond) to the fonts directory and then regenerated the database.
This is my test-file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[garamond]
\starttext
\input tufte
\it
\input tufte
\bf
\input tufte
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The output is here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/test.pdf and it's very ugly.
How could I get better results please?
TIA for any help!
--
Peter

maybe it's a script or language dependent feature

Try this example which doesn’t use simplefonts:
\starttext
\startfont[file:gara.ttf*default]\input knuth\par\stopfont
\startfont[file:garait.ttf*default]\input knuth\par\stopfont
\startfont[file:garabd.ttf*default]\input knuth\par\stopfont
\stoptext

Not really better:
http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/startfont-gara.pdf
There are now 3 pdf-files:
http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/startfont-gara.pdf -> \startfont ... \stopfont
http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/simplefont-gara.pdf -> \setmainfont[gara]
http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/simplefont-garamond.pdf -> \setmainfont[garamond]
The 3 ttf files come from an MS-Office installation.

I've replaced them with files from the internet
(http://www.findthatzip.com/), now it works!
