Dear All,
in my document I combine both regular and bold small caps. As there is no
predefined alternative for bold small caps variant, moreover, combining bold
style and small caps has no effect, I've had to override an unused one:
\definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][file:pala.ttf][features=small-caps]
\definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][file:palab.ttf][features=small-caps] %
bold caps
Now I can switch styles using \sc and \bs.
It would be nice to have a dedicated alternative for this. Or am I missing
something?
Regards, Jan

When you use a opentype font you can enable the small caps feature with the \feature
command, there is no need for an additional font synonym.
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\starttext
Text {\feature[+][f:smallcaps]Text} {\bf Text {\feature[+][f:smallcaps]Text}}
Text \smallcaps{Text} \bold{Text \smallcaps{Text}}
\stoptext

Thanks for pointing me to this nice feature! This is even more robust.
All my font definitions are based on this example
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Palatino_Linotype_under_MKIV
(with the help of ConTeXt Reference Manual where I didn't notice something
like this before).
In the light of this all examples on that page could be switched rather to
'feature' based styling to emphasise the power of this feature :-)

You can save a few lines in the font setup when you the new simplefonts code (works only with a recent beta).
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default,quality}]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\starttext
How you, O Athenians, have been affected by my accusers, I cannot tell;
but I know that they almost made me forget who I was—so persuasively
did they speak; and yet they have hardly uttered a word of truth.
Ὅτι μὲν ὑμεῖς, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι,
πεπόνθατε ὑπὸ τῶν ἐμῶν κατηγόρων,
οὐκ οἶδα· ἐγὼ δ' οὖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὑπ'
αὐτῶν ὀλίγου ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπελαθόμην,
οὕτω πιθανῶς ἔλεγον.

What a great improvement!
In sum 4 basic + 2 complementary (smallcaps, oldstyle) styles out-of-the-box thanks to this simple definition! Moreover, these basic and complementary ones can be combined easily.
Other OTF features needs to be declared though:
\definefontfeature[f:superscript][sups=yes]
and then used as written above:
25 m{\feature[+][f:superscript]2}
But it is not so big deal.
<joke>I suggest removing all font styles related descriptions in manuals, wiki pages to some special place marked as obsolete and replace it with this simple approach ending with a small note that if this is not applicable, there are other, but deprecated, ways - with the appropriate hyperlink.</joke>.

When you use this for units you can use the \unit command:
\starttext
\unit{25 square meter}
\stoptext

Not all font provide small caps as font feature, there is still many (older and newer) which use a separate file for them.
