Hi

now I'm trying to use Optima.

So I assembled a type-optima.tex with this:

\starttypescript [sans] [optima]

     \definefontsynonym [OptimaRegular]   [name:Optima Regular]    
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [OptimaBold]   [name:Optima Bold]    
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [OptimaBoldItalic]   [name:Optima Bold  
Italic]   [features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [OptimaExtraBlack]   [name:Optima  
ExtraBlack]   [features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [OptimaItalic]   [name:Optima Italic]    
[features=default]

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans] [optima]

     \definefontsynonym [Sans]            [OptimaRegular]  
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SansItalic]      [OptimaItalic]   
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBold]        [OptimaBold]  
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic]  [OptimaBoldItalic]   
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [SansExtra]  [OptimaExtraBlack]   
[features=default]

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript
\definetypeface[optima][rm][sans][optima][default]
\definetypeface[optima][ss][sans][optima][default]
\definetypeface[optima][tt][mono][modern]  [default][rscale=1.12]
\definetypeface[optima][mm][math][iwona]   [default][rscale=1.02]
\stoptypescript




Then, did the usual stuff.
But the pdf  from

\usetypefile [optima]
\usetypescript[optima]
\setupbodyfont[optima]

\starttext
Oh yes, I'm a test, baby

{\bf there's a little} {\em black} {\sc spot}

in the sun today
\stoptext	

uses LM.
The console says:

....
specials       : fdf loaded
) (type-optima.tex)

...

the font file is Optima.dfont


Best
