Subject: font problems
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2021 03:59:38 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211126035938.14183@sachi> (raw)


Here's my MWE:
       Objective is to typeset a Chancery font text in the upper lefthand side of a page, and
       then do the main body in some normal font.  Then at the very last print a sign off in
       Chancery.  For some reason I can't get both to print out as Chancery. Only one or the
       other, but not both.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\definefontfamily [mwetest] [sans] [Liberation Sans]
\setupbodyfont [mwe,ss,12pt]

\definelayer[mwe][repeat=yes, preset=lefttop, hoffset=.125in, voffset=.125in]
\setlayer[mwe]   {  \switchtobodyfont[chancery,8pt] \hskip 5mm Chancery Font Here  }	
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mwe]

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext

Normal font text goes here. \blank[4*big]

 { \switchtobodyfont[chancery] This should be Chancery here to.  But isn't. }

\blank[2*big]Note that if I comment out the \type{setlayer[mwe]} in the source file, then the above will print in Chancery.

\stoptext

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


I'd like to have the layers in Chancery font and then one last text string in the body in Chancery font.  But I can't get them both to be Chancery.  How can that be done?
