List,

I have a strange case of a font feature disappearing when many fonts are 
used.

In creating a sampler for the Jost* font (free at 
https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html) and using its feature ss01 to 
get single-storey lower-case a, the font reverts to the default 
two-storey a when many weights are shown. When I create the fonts with 
\definefontfamily, the upright weights are fine and the italic weights 
revert. When I create the fonts with \definefont, the reverse is the case.

Below is the demonstration for the \definefont variation and a snip of 
the failing result.

    \definebodyfontenvironment[13pt]
                          [interlinespace=15pt]

    \setuplayout         [backspace=0pt,
                           topspace=30pt,
                           width=middle,
                           height=middle,
                           location=middle,
                           header=0pt,
                           footer=0pt]

Below is the demonstration for the \definefontfamily variation and a 
snip of the expected result, although the italics fail.

Assistance or explanation is welcome. This is just for a sampler -- the 
font with just three weights when used in a real project is fine. I do 
not know if the problem is with the font or with ConTeXt or with my 
expectations.
