When you use a font in MkIV you have to specify which features of the font
should be enabled/disabled, to do this you define first a list for them with
the \definefontfeature command, e.g.
\definefontfeature[myfeatures][liga=yes,onum=yes,…]
For the main fonts in the document which are loaded with \setupbodyfont
these settings are applied in the typescripts, e.g.
\defintfontsynonym[Serif][MyRegularFont][features=myfeatures]
but when you load a single font with \definefont you apply
the list as argument to the font name after the asterisk.
When you want only a bigger version of the serif or sans version of your
document you can say \definefont[SansBold at 70bp] without applying
the list of features because the are already set in the typescripts.
