font in \setuplanguage

font in \setuplanguage

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \mainlanguage[es]
    \setuplanguage[agr][font=\grcface]
    \definefontfamily[grcface][rm][DejaVu Sans]
    \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][DejaVu Serif]
    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
    a {\agr β}
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext

I cannot get the Greek fragment using another font.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

With the font key you can apply certain font features for a different 
language
but you can’t use it to switch to a different font.

To switch to a different font for your greek texts use this method:

\startsetups [greekfont]
   \switchtobodyfont [grcface]
\stopsetups

\setuplanguage[agr][setups=greekfont]

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I wonder whether it would make sense to enable a style option in
\setuplanguage.

Having to use setups is maybe too difficult for newcomers and style is a
common option in other commands.

I agree that font is handy when using different languages using the
Latin script. But style would make sense when dealing with different
scripts.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
