Thanks for the quick response, Pablo.=C2=A0 I already use = typescripts (\definetypeface,=C2=A0\definefontsynonym=C2=A0and \definefontf= allback):=C2=A0https://github.com/bateni/dabeer/tree/maste= r/texmf-local/tex/context/fonts/mkiv

By arbitrary st= yle, I meant something like:

\definefontfamily= [myface][CUSTOM][TeX Gyre Pagella]]

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/= Font_Switching says fontstyle is rm, ss, tt, mm, hw, cg, ...

= Because the the three dots at the end, I thought it would be possible to de= fine new fontstyles.=C2=A0 But I get an error if I do so.

So I usually use \definefont to set up one-off fonts for specific u= se-cases such as special headings or an artwork, etc.=C2=A0 I was wondering= if I can easily apply fontfallbacks for those.

Hi Mohammad,

the simplefonts module has been deprecated, since it has been
implemented in the ConTeXt core (see below).

\definefontfallback might be the command you are looking for.

The new commands are \definefallbackfamily and \definefontfamily.

A sample document, in case it might help (GFS Heraklit at
https://greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/_asset= s/fonts/GFS_Heraklit.zip):

=C2=A0 \definefallbackfamily
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [mainface]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [rm]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [GFS Heraklit]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [preset=3Drange:greek,
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0force=3Dyes]

=C2=A0 \definefontfamily
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [mainface]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [rm]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [TeX Gyre Pagella]

=C2=A0 \setupbodyfont

Sorry, but unless you provide a minimal sample, it isn=E2=80=99t easy to gu= ess
what you might have in mind.

I=E2=80=99m afraid that I=E2=80=99m not sure whether the following sample c= ontains your
=E2=80=9Carbitrary styles=E2=80=9D.

=C2=A0 \setupinteractionscreen[option=3Dmax]

=C2=A0 \definefontfamily
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [mainface]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [rm]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [TeX Gyre Pagella]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [it=3D{TeX Gyre Cursor-Italic},
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0bf=3D{TeX Gyre Adventor-Bold},
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0bi=3D{TeX Gyre Termes-BoldItalic}]

=C2=A0 \setupbodyfontenvironment
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [default]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 [em=3Ditalic]

=C2=A0 \setupbodyfont[mainface]

=C2=A0 \starttext
=C2=A0 \startTEXpage[offset=3D1em]
=C2=A0 Roman font {\em & italic}

=C2=A0 {\bf Bold font \em & bold italic}
=C2=A0 \stopTEXpage
=C2=A0 \stoptext

Feel free to explain what your needs are.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
