Hi,

I uploaded a beta with an experimental mkiv feature: fallback fonts.

\starttext

\definefontfallback [whatever] [Slanted] [0x0060-0x007F]
\definefontfallback [whatever] [Bold] [0x0080-0x00FF,0x00A0-0x00AF]
\definefontfallback [whatever] [BoldSlanted] [0x00C0-0x00C7]

\definefontsynonym[SerifPlus][Serif][fallbacks=whatever]

\definefont[MySerif][SerifPlus]

\MySerif

\dostepwiserecurse{0}{255}{1}{%
     {\tttf\uchexnumbers\recurselevel:}\char\recurselevel\hskip10pt plus 
5pt\relax
}

\stoptext

specifications like [Bold sa 1.2] also work

Future versions will provide multiple fallbacks, conditional fallbacks etc.

For insiders ... no virtual fonts are used which means that that in 
principle features still work ok.

BTW, In this beta OSFONTDIR is set automatically when unset, on windows 
(tested by me) and on macosx (tested by mojca); other platforms can be 
dealt with when we know what to set.

Hans
