syntax for \definesimplefont in TeX Live version of simplefonts

syntax for \definesimplefont in TeX Live version of simplefonts

[Lars Huttar]

Hello,
We are using simplefonts, the version included with TeX Live 2013. As
mentioned in another email, we don't have the freedom to experiment with
potentially unstable versions.

I've been reading
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/simplefonts
and have it working well so far with the mainfont, sansfont, and
mainfontfallback.

The part I need help with is for using another font.
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/simplefonts#Defining_other_typefaces_and_fonts
says we can use

  * |\definesimplefont|, defines a font for the use in headers or other
    style elements.
  * |\simplefont|, defines a font for inline use.

Can anyone tell me the syntax for these commands - and for using them?
I tried
 \definesimplefont[titleface][Gentium Basic]
 ...
 \setupbodyfont[titleface]

There are no complaints and the \definesimplefont line, but I don't know
if it's the right syntax. And the \setupbodyfont line is giving the warning
  fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'titleface'



So I'm guessing that the \definesimplefont line is correct, but I just
don't know how to use the defined font.


Help please?


Thanks,
Lars

The \definesimplefont command can be used when you want a certain font
for the chapter, section etc. heading, e.g.

  \definesimplefont[ChapterFont][Gentium Basic][size=24pt]

  \setuphead[chapter][style=ChapterFont]

but I don’t recommend this command anymore (and removed it from the new version)
because you can get the same result with a custom typeface, e.g.

  \definesimplefonttypeface[chapterfont][Gentium Basic]

  \definefont[ChapterFont][\classfont{chapterfont}{Serif} at 24pt]

  \setuphead[chapter][style=ChapterFont]


When you want to change only the global font for your document you
need the \definesimplefonttypeface command, e.g.

  \definesimplefonttypeface[documentfont][Gentium Basic]

  \setupbodyfont[documentfont]

Thanks, very helpful.
I will update the wiki page with this.
