Hello,
Previously, in order to make punctual use of a true-type font in a title for example, I did the following:
\definefontfamily [myfont] [serif] [myfont]
where myfont.ttf is located in the current project directory, and selecting the font was simply
{\switchtobodyfont[myfont]My Font!}
Using the present context, this yields the error
selectfont > The requested font 'myfont' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
What has changed and what should be the proper use?
(I have tried setting explicitly [tf=file:myfont.ttf], which was only a guess.)
Alan

one can do
\definefont[MyTitleFont][file:myfont.ttf*default sa 3]
\setuphead[chapter][style=\MyTitlefont]

Thank you
\definefont[MyFont][file:myfont.ttf]
\scale[width=.5\textwidth]{\MyFont My Font!}
can be used for example in a header or footer element, and this is minimal and simple.
What are the roles of "*default" and "sa 3" as these appear to be unnecessary?
Alan

And how can I \definefont so that \em or \emph works the same as in bodyfont?
Or, the other way round, how must I \definehighlight[emph][style=italic] so that it works in all sizes?
-----
\setupbodyfont[rm,12pt]
\definefont[TitleFont][SansBold*default sa 3]
\setuphead[chapter][style=\TitleFont,page=no]
\definehighlight[emph][style=italic]
\starttext
\chapter{My \emph{special} chapter} % no font change
\input tufte
\emph{\input knuth.tex }
\chapter{My {\em oldfashioned} chapter} % slanted body font
\input tufte
{\em\input knuth.tex }
\stoptext

*default activates the default set of OpenType features.
sa 3 is the font size factor.

Are not the default set of OpenType features activated by default?
(as the name might suggest...). Perhaps *no* features are selected, by default...
(a misnomer, therefore).

Of course, but how is it used?
In my example, I scale the text to a specific width, so I really don't care what font size is selected and would assume that the design optimal or "natural" size would be selected, by default.

default is just one of many predefined feature sets:
\definefontfeature
[default]
[always]
[liga=yes,
tlig=yes,
trep=yes]

In your case it isn’t needed but when you have a heading which should
always be twice the size of the bodyfont you can add "sa 2" to do this.

Maybe you loaded the used the font before with \definefont which put a
entry in the database but normally \definefontfamily doesn’t use fonts
from a local directory.

Sure, and I guess that it is not activated by default by \definefont.
In this case, "standard" might be a better name (but I know that it is not going to change).

No, never used \definefont; the behavior of \definefontfamily must have changed.
(I used this font *only* in one very specific case -in a logo- in one project - September-December 2015).
