Dear all,

In light of the question on fonts I have wondered how ConTeXt deals with this

Monotype Baskerville 11/12.5 pt

or 

Monotype 11 on 12 point Bembo

that I see at the beginning of books.

Are there commands to achieve this. There probably are but I haven't recognised them.

Thanks,
Charlie
