Hi Pablo,

thanks for the suggestion. Here's the minimal example which shows the difference:

    \definefontfamily[face][rm][dejavuserif]
    \starttext\switchtobodyfont[face, 24pt]ɑ\stoptext

this should warn:

    fonts           > checking > char ɑ (U+00251) in font 'LatinModernMath-Regular-4' with id 10: missing

while

    \definefontfamily[face][rm][dejavuserif]
    \starttext\switchtobodyfont[face, 24pt]ɑ\stoptext

produces the expected result despite a harmless warning.

Hi Sylvain,

as a general rule, it helps when there is a minimal sample that provides
the problematic behavior.

I don’t get diffferent results:

  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
  \definefontfamily[face][rm][TeX Gyre Heros]
  \setupbodyfont[mainface]
  \startbuffer
  In my case, the latter is the correct one, while the former does
  nothing but falling back to latinmodern.\par
  \stopbuffer

  \starttext
  \getbuffer
  \switchtobodyfont[face]\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
  \getbuffer
  \switchtobodyfont[face, 20pt]
  \getbuffer
  \stoptext

Correct the sample to show what I got wrong from your message.

Pablo
