I don't seem quite able to put it all together, forgive the question.

I have a 'Bookman' font setup, pretty vanilla:

\definetypeface [Bookman] [rm] [serif] [bonum] [sl=name:unituscndboldoblique]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [tt] [mono]  [modern] [default]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [ss] [sans] [unitus] [default]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]

(Unitus is the fontsite 500 'Univers' substitute, works fine)

Now, the built-in gyre bonum font doesn't have a slanted/oblique variant, so if I have Bookman as my main body
font, \sl  produces (unsurprisingly) the same result as \it, TexGyreBonum-Italic.   If I want \sl to summon
Latin Modern for the variant, I have tried variations on

\definetypeface [Bookman] [rm] [serif] [bonum] [sl=file:Latin Modern Roman Slanted]


but to no avail — not helped by the fact that the \definetypeface contextgarden page doesn't have any pointer to just what that fifth
argument can contain.


How do I accomplish this?

Oops, this was one of my bad attempts.   the fifth argument is actually omitted in the normally working version.

Use \definefontfamily which is missing in your example.

\definefontfamily [Bookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
   [sl=features:{*,slanted},
    bs=features:{*,slanted}]

\definetypeface [Bookman] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]

\setupbodyfont [Bookman]

\starttext
\tf upright \it italic \sl slanted \bf bold \bi bolditalic \bs boldslanted
\stoptext

Except that this does not work, because, as I said, the Gyre Bonum font has no builtin slanted version.  So, I want to use some other font (like Latin Modern) for a substitute for \sl .

Have you even taken a look at the output of my example?

> So, I want to use some other font (like Latin Modern) for a substitute for \sl .

I still think my version looks better (even with bold Latin Modern).

\definefontfamily [slantedbookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
   [sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}},
    bs={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}}]

\definefontfamily [modernbookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
   [sl={file:lmromanslant10-regular},
    bs={file:lmromanslant10-bold}]

% \definefontfamily [modernbookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
%   [sl={file:lmromanslant10-regular,features:{*,boldened}},
%    bs={file:lmromanslant10-bold,features:{*,boldened}}]

\starttext

\setupbodyfont [slantedbookman]

\it italic \sl slanted \bi bolditalic \bs boldslanted

\setupbodyfont [modernbookman]

\it italic \sl slanted \bi bolditalic \bs boldslanted

\stoptext

Wolfgang

OK, that worked.  Thank you for your help.
