Hello,
Have a problem with commercial font installation in luatex.
I have a collection of Adobe Caslon Pro font files:
ACaslonPro-Bold.otf
ACaslonPro-BoldItalic.otf
ACaslonPro-Italic.otf
ACaslonPro-Regular.otf
ACaslonPro-Semibold.otf
ACaslonPro-SemiboldItalic.otf
Arthur said that luatex cannot see system fonts (i.e. those installed in Windows), as XeTeX do, so I copied the font to texmf -- "...\tex\texmf\fonts\opentype\Adobe Caslon Pro" folder of mswincontext. (It was just my guess).
"luatools ACaslonPro-Regular.otf" shows the right path, so I assumed that luatex can find it.
I declared this font using rather naive approach (XeTeX-inspired):
\definetypeface
[myface][rm][Serif]
[{ACaslonPro-Regular}]
\setupbodyfont
[myface, 14pt]
But this doesn't work. At the moment I'd be happy if can setup regular and italic, but have not an idea how to achieve it. Help me, please.

a typeface is made up of regular, bold, italic, bolditalic etc

mkiv can see system fonts, that is, if you've set the OSFONTDIR
variable, for instance
set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts//
next you need to make a typescript, e.g. i just installed (commercial)
franklin fonts:
\starttypescript [sans] [franklin]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinBookRegular]
[name:FranklinGothicBookITC-Regular] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinMediumRegular]
[name:FranklinGothicMediumITC-Regular] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinDemiRegular]
[name:FranklinGothicDemiITC-Regular] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinHeavyRegular]
[name:FranklinGothicHeavyITC-Regular] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinBookItalic]
[name:FranklinGothicBookITC-Italic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinDemiItalic]
[name:FranklinGothicMediumITC-Italic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinHeavyItalic]
[name:FranklinGothicDemiITC-Italic] [features=default]
\definefontsynonym [FranklinMediumItalic]
[name:FranklinGothicHeavyITC-Italic] [features=default]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [franklin]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [FranklinBookRegular]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [FranklinBookItalic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansBold] [FranklinDemiRegular]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [FranklinDemiItalic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [SansItalic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [SansBoldItalic]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Sans]
[features=smallcaps]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface[franklin][rm][sans][franklin][default]
\definetypeface[franklin][ss][sans][franklin][default]
\definetypeface[franklin][tt][mono][modern] [default][rscale=1.12]
\definetypeface[franklin][mm][math][iwona] [default][rscale=1.02]
\setupbodyfont[franklin,ss,10pt]
etc. context will
forget about the xetex syntax, although low level xetex stuff like
\font=\test=name:ACaslonPro-Regular:liga=yes;
is supported, as is:
\font=\test=name:ACaslonPro-Regular*default
but best define fonts using typescripts

You need a typescript, that is something along the lines of
✃✃✃✃
\starttypescript [serif] [adobecaslon] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [ACaslonPro-Regular]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [ACaslonPro-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [ACaslonPro-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [ACaslonPro-BoldItalic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [adobecaslon] [size]
\definebodyfont
[rm]
[tf=Serif,
it=SerifItalic,
bf=SerifBold,
bi=SerifBoldItalic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [caslon]
\definebodyfontenvironment
[caslon]
[default]
[iterlinespace=2.6ex]
\definetypeface [caslon] [rm] [serif] [adobecaslon]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript [caslon] [ec]
\setupbodyfont [caslon]
\starttext
William Caslon released his first typefaces in 1722. %
Caslon’s types were based on seventeenth-century Dutch old style
designs, which were then used extensively in England. Because of their
remarkable practicality, Caslon’s designs met with instant success.
Caslon’s types became popular throughout Europe and the American
colonies; printer Benjamin Franklin hardly used any other typeface. The
first printings of the American Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution were set in Caslon.
\stoptext
✁✁✁✁
And for an even fancier design :-)
\definefontfeature
[historic]
[script=latn,language=DFLT,dlig=yes,hist=yes,onum=yes]
and replace the typeface definition with
\definetypeface [caslon] [rm] [serif] [adobecaslon] [default] [features=historic]
P-S for Idris: I just received my copy of the last issue of TUGboat, and
your article is absolutely great! That's what I used exclusively for the
above :-)

Hmm, never got my own copy of that issue, need to contact Karl...
But I'm very glad it was useful!
