Is \switchtobodyfont the recommended way of changing the typeface temporarily anywhere in a document
(for example when making cover page graphics)? Its name implies only document body.
Nevertheless, \switchtobodyfont works (at least in the document body, haven't tested yet elsewhere)
without setting \setupbodyfont.

> \definetypeface[Pompadour][ss][specsans][Pompadour]
This seems to work for most fonts, with others like Pompadour it fails (pompadour has SubFamily string of
"Black" [Mac] and "Regular" [Windows] in the .otf), and spec fails to find pompadour-normal-normal which
it is looking for). Pompadour is a serif font, so i tried also with arguments [rm][specserif].
I have looked into co-typography.pdf for help, and while it is very extensive in some parts, in others it
is (too) technical and lacks expanations for some parameters.
As soon as I get these issues sorted out I'll try if I can make the MKIV font pages in the Wiki a bit
more beginner friendly.
Best regads,
