Dear gang,

Consider a control sequence \MyCS. It has three possible definitions:

\def\MyCS{<def1>}, \def\MyCS{<def2>}, \def\MyCS{<def3>}

What I would like is to define \MyCS once such that

<def1> takes effect when \tf is invoked
<def2> takes effect when \it is invoked
<def3> takes effect when \bf is invoked

something like (incorrect syntax but you'll get the point)

\def\MyCS{%
\if\it<def1>
\else
\if\bf<def2>
\else
<def3>}

How can I do this> Any tips greatly appreciated!

Happy Holidays!
Idris

You could modify the following macro from font-ini.

\def\fontstylesuffix
  {\ifx\fontalternative\c!tf     \s!Regular \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bf        \s!Bold \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!sl     \s!Slanted \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!it      \s!Italic \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bs \s!BoldSlanted \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bi  \s!BoldItalic \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!sc        \s!Caps \else
                                 \s!Regular \fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi}%

something like this should work (if I get you right)

\ifx\fontalternative\c!tf <def1> \else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!it <def2> \else
\ifx\fontalterantive\c!bf <def3> %
\fi\fi\fi

search fo \fontalternative in the base (font-ini.tex and alike)

Best wishes, Peter
