Hi,

I've a question concerning switching fonts in setups. How to get a sans
slanted style? Have a look at the following table.

Command	Style		Comment
\ss	sans		OK
\bf	bold		OK
\ssbf	sansbold	OK	
\sl	slanted		OK
\sssl	sansslanted	\sssl OK, sansslanted doesn't work

I've made a minimal example to demonstrate how I use the commands.

\starttext
{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sans]		% OK
  \section {sans}\input knuth\relax}

{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=bold]		% OK
  \section {bold}\input knuth\relax}

{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansbold]	% OK
  \section {sansbold}\input knuth\relax}

{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=slanted]	% OK
  \section {slanted}\input knuth\relax}

{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansslanted]	% doesn't work
  \section {sansslanted}\input knuth\relax}

{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=\sssl]		% OK
  \section {Command: sssl}\input knuth\relax}
\stoptext

Is there a different command to achieve sansslanted? sansbold works, and
bold is an alternative as slanted is, so intuitively I would expect
sansslanted also to work.

Thanks in advance

I'm sure you meant

\definealternativestyle
   [sansslanted]
   [\ss\sl] []
       ^^^
This works. So sansbold is defined by default and sansslanted isn't
(because it is not needed so often I assume). That's not intuitive but
as the styles are easily created it is OK for me.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Marco

well, if we define all of them, we end up with many definitions ... just 
consider sansbold not being defined
