Additional font variants

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Hi, I’m trying to set up a “handwriting” font.

In the example below I’m using Comic Sans, because probably everyone has it available, IRL I’m using the commercial “Supernett Cn” that has more styles. (Also, I’m using Alegreya Serif + Sans.)

If I name it "ss/sans/Sans", it works as expected, but with "hw/handwriting/Handwriting" it only uses the regular font, never other styles.

"mtxrun --script fonts ..." shows that the configured files are found.

Is this a limitation in ConTeXt, or what did I wrong?
