Subject: How to use Helvetica Neue Light (OS X)?
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 23:15:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <n9doej$dof$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

I am coming back to using ConTeXt after a relatively long hiatus,
so I am trying to re-learn old things and learn the new stuff.
Please bear with me.

I want to use OS X's Helvetica Neue Light in a document. How may
I do that?

I have tried:

\definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Helvetica Neue Light]

but, fair enough, that results in `font with asked name 'unknown'
is not found`. If I use

\definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Helvetica Neue]

then the document is typeset in Helvetica Neue, but in boldface.
Why? Using mtxrun, all the relevant files are found:

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=neue*

helveticaneue                       helveticaneuebold                   
/System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.dfont              index: 13
helveticaneuebold                   helveticaneuebold                   
/System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.dfont              index: 13
helveticaneuedeskinterface          helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular   
/System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc   index:  9
helveticaneuedeskinterfacenormal    helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular   
/System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc   index:  9
helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular   helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular   
/System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc   index:  9

How do I specify the font's weight?

Nicola
