Subject: two questions about \definefontfamily
Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2016 21:41:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57532EFC.5060705@uni-bonn.de> (raw)

Hi all (especially Wolfgang),

I have two questions about the font selection mechanism.

1. Three weeks ago you replied to a question from Pablo Rodriguez and 
wrote (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085508.html):

"You have to use scale instead of rscale for the \definefontfamily and
\definefallbackfamily commands for the moment but I will change it to
rscale."

In the meantime, you have changed this keyword. I have lots of styles 
that use "scale." Would it be very inconvenient to leave "scale" as a 
legacy synonym / alternative to rscale? That would be my feature request...

2. The following example:

\definefallbackfamily [Test] [serif] [GentiumAlt] 
[range={greekandcoptic,greekextended},force=yes,rscale=3]

\definefontfamily [Test] [serif] [TeX Gyre Termes]

\setupbodyfont [Test,10pt]

\starttext

Test Μῆνιν ἄειδε

\stoptext

does not produce any output. It I replace "Test" with the lowercase 
"test," I get the expected output. Do you have an explanation for this?

Thanks, and all best

Thomas
