Re: Using fonts from multiple families

["Tom" <Tom@tuxedo-press.com>]

Thank you very much, Wolfgang. The time zone difference is helpful
sometimes. I went to bed last night very frustrated and woke up this morning
to find your solution in my inbox. It is also good to see that your
assistance to me has also helped someone else. I do have a couple of
questions:

1. Why aren't the \usetypescriptfile commands necessary?
2. It never occurred to me to consider the dedication as a separate chapter.
Logically, it is but is the inverse of other chapters, sort of, in that the
chapter title isn't normally displayed and the body of the chapter is
printed in a different font than are the other chapters.

You can define multiple typefaces.

% engine=pdftex

% fonts

\definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [palatino]    [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans]  [iwona-heavy] [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono]  [modern]      [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math]  [palatino]    [default]

\definetypeface [pagenumber] [ss] [sans] [iwona-light] [default]

\definetypeface [dedication] [rm] [serif] [chancery] [default]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]

% headings

\definehead [intro]     [chapter]
\definehead [dedication][chapter]

\setuphead[chapter][style=\ss\bfa,alternative=middle]
\setuphead[intro][number=no]
\setuphead[dedication][number=no,style={\switchtobodyfont[dedication,16pt]}]

\definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section]

% pagenumbers

\setuppagenumbering[style={\switchtobodyfont[pagenumber]}]

\starttext
\dedication{Dedication}
\completecontent
\intro{Introduction - Ag}
\input knuth
\chapter{First chapter - Ag}
\input knuth
\chapter{Second Chapter - Ag}
\input knuth
\stoptext
