suggestions for \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Wolfgang,

would it be possible that \definefontfamily could load fonts directly
(not defined in the font database), like \definefont?

    \definefont[Test][file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf at 10pt]
    \definefont[TestOne][file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf at 10pt]

    \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Pagella]
        [tf={file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf},
         bf={file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf}]

    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    normal\\
    \bf bold not working\\

    \Test this works
    \TestOne this works
    \stoptext

The second improvement would be to allow "method=uppercase" with
\definefallbackfamily to be able to fake smallcaps (as used with
\definefontfallback in
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/092878.html).

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

suggestions for \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Wolfgang,

as I reported the issue with the fonts and LMTX, I remembered two
suggestions I wanted to post here.

The first one is enabling the use of "method=uppercase" in
\definefallbackfamily (to get fake caps, such as in
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/092878.html).

The second feature is to enable \definefontfamily to load font files not
part of the font database, the same way as \definefont is able to load them.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
