Hi Wolfgang,
sorry for asking about the \definefallbackfamily again, but I have the
impression that the more I use, the less I understand it.
Here is the sample:
\setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr,ru}]
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][CMU Serif][preset={range:greek,
range:cyrillic}, it={DejaVu Serif-Italic, scale:0.935}]
\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setupbodyfont[mainface,14pt]
\starttext
Mixing scripts.
В начале июля
Λόγος δέ ἐστι {\em φωνὴ σημαντική}.
\stoptext
I have three questions:
How can I define one fallback with more than one range preset? (I tried
many combinations, but none of them worked.)
I cannot get a different italic fallback font if the fallback typeface
specified in the third argument has an italic font. What am I doing
wrong here?
Is it possible to scale only the italic font in a fallback definition
and not whole typeface? (In some cases, the feature is extremely handy.)
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Your example above uses two presets and both are used, the problem is that both presets set a value for the range key and you end up with this setup:
\definefallbackfamily[…][…][…][range=<range setup for greek>,range=<range setup for cyrillic>]
When you have now multiple settings for the same key only the last setting is used and all of the previous ones are ignored. What you can foo in this case
is to set either the range value by yourself or add multiple fallback setting where you load only one preset, e.g.
\definefallbackfamily[…][…][…][preset=range:greek]
\definefallbackfamily[…][…][…][preset=range:cyrillic]

The \em command uses the slanted alternative by default, to use italic for \em add this to your document:
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]

Not yet, I can add this feature but it will only work for fallback fonts and not for the normal fonts which are set with \definefontfamily.

Many thanks for your reply and the explanation, Wolfgang.
Now it is clear to me what was wrong with my presets.

My fault. And a very silly one. This is something I knew, but I didn’t
realize it was the missing piece in this context.

It would be great to have such a feature.
Many thanks for your help again,
Pablo
