I'm not sure I understand. Myriad Pro has normal and semi-extended versions. 

Do you suggest to have different typefaces for normal and semi-extended version ? (Which makes no sense for roman then). 

I'd like to use both normal and semi-extended versions, both with their bold, italic, etc. styles. That why I would have like to create a new font-style.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Antoine

    Hi,

    I'm trying to declare a new font style. I declare it
    with \definefontstyle [sx] [sx] but the compilation fails when I use
    \sx in my document.


easier:

\starttypescript [sans] [myriadpro]
%     \definefontsynonym [SansSemiExtended] [file:MyriadPro-SemiExt.otf][features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [Sans]           [name:dejavusans] [features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [SansBold]       [name:dejavusansbold] [features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [SansItalic]     [name:dejavusansitalic] [features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [name:dejavusansbolditalic][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\definetypeface  [source] [ss] [sans] [myriadpro]
\definetypeface  [source] [mm] [math] [modern]

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

{\source\ss ABCDEFGHIJKLM\par
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ\par
abcdefghijklm\par
nopqrstuvwxyz\par
1234567890}

\stoptext

    I found an older message from 2009 similar to my issue but with
    public solution. May be some private response from Hans Hagen is
    missing?
    (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2009/043067.html
     <https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2009/043067.html>)

    Here is a minimal example:

    \definefontstyle [sx] [sx]
    \definetypeface  [source] [sx] [semiextended] [myriadpro] [optical]

    \starttypescript [semiextended] [optical] [size]
      \definebodyfont [11pt] [sx] [tf=SansSemiExtended sa 1]
    \stoptypescript

    \starttypescript [semiextended] [myriadpro]
    \definefontsynonym [SansSemiExtended] [file:MyriadPro-SemiExt.otf]
    [features=default]
    \stoptypescript

    \starttext

    {\sx ABCDEFGHIJKLM\par
    NOPQRSTUVWXYZ\par
    abcdefghijklm\par
    nopqrstuvwxyz\par
    1234567890}

    \stoptext

    Thanks for your help,

    Antoine C.
