Hi all,

according to the manual (current draft p. 238f.) the following
should work:

···8<····························································

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\defineregister[myreg][myreg]
\setupregister[myreg][textstyle=italic,pagestyle=slanted]

%% That’s what it’s about:
\setupregister[myreg][alt][textstyle=bold]

\starttext

\myreg{one}one
\myreg{two}two
\myreg{three}three
%% This works in mkii but not mkiv.
\myreg[alt::two]{two}two
\myreg[alt::zwo]{two}two
\myreg[alt::zwo]{alt::two}two
\myreg{alt::two}two
\myreg{one}one

\placemyreg

\stoptext

···8<····························································

 (mtx-context     | current version: 2011.05.12 15:19
  This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.71.0-2011060119 (rev 4285))

Mkii is fine but I seem to need this functionality in mkiv for
local font switches (when entries are in a different script).

Am I using this right? Any known workaround?

Thanks for your help
Philipp
