issue with Public Sans

issue with Public Sans

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear listt,

I have problems with current latest (from 2021.04.29 23:09) to get
proper character spacing using Public Sans
(https://public-sans.digital.gov/):

  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm]
      [Public Sans]
  \setupbodyfont[mainface]
  \starttext
  \doloopoverlist{\rm,\it,\bf,\bi}
    {\startpar\recursestring\input zapf\stoppar}
  \stoptext

Could anyone confirm this? I wonder whether the typeface itself is
missing something.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Confirmed here.

I've also tried with --luatex, but that doesn't find the font at all. (Do I have to update the font database for luatex separately?)

Many thanks for the confirmation, Denis,

--luatex has no problems with the font.

So, it might be a problem with LMTX.

Many thanks for your help,

it has to to do with 2000 units; luatex probably forces that to 1000
