[Bug 786222] [NEW] TTF and OTF fonts work erratically

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using latest snapshot of ConTeXt minimals on x86_64 Linux and trying
to use TTF and OTF fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts. ConTeXt version
is 2011.05.18 22:26. What I have done so far:

./first-setup.sh
source ./tex/setuptex
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts;/usr/local/share/fonts/"
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
context font.tex

There are two issues which are apparent in the font.tex example file
attached:

1) If I comment the \setupbodyfont -line, or for example write
\setupbodyfont[modern,12pt], the two fonts I have defined will disappear
and be replaced with the default Latin Modern font.

2) The fonts will not display if I use a small font size. For example,
with \setupbodyfont[LeagueScript,30pt] the page number will be formatted
with League Script, but with \setupbodyfont[LeagueScript,12pt] it will
be shown with Latin Modern.

I am using these fonts (otf):
