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. > When we define a font via typescript commands, we can specify rm, ss, > tt, mm, hw and cg shapes for it.

The new commands are \definefallbackfamily and \definefontfamily. A sample document, in case it might help (GFS Heraklit at https://greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/_assets/fonts/GFS_Heraklit.zip): \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [GFS Heraklit] [preset=range:greek, force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont [mainface] \starttext \agr\input aristotle-grc \de\input aesop-de \stoptext Sorry, but unless you provide a minimal sample, it isn’t easy to guess what you might have in mind. I’m afraid that I’m not sure whether the following sample contains your “arbitrary styles”. \setupinteractionscreen[option=max] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] [it={TeX Gyre Cursor-Italic}, bf={TeX Gyre Adventor-Bold}, bi={TeX Gyre Termes-BoldItalic}] \setupbodyfontenvironment [default] [em=italic] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] Roman font {\em & italic} {\bf Bold font \em & bold italic} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Feel free to explain what your needs are.

I already use typescripts (\definetypeface, \definefontsynonym and \definefontfallback): https://github.com/bateni/dabeer/tree/master/texmf-local/tex/context/fonts/mkiv By arbitrary style, 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 define new fontstyles. But I get an error if I do so. So I usually use \definefont to set up one-off fonts for specific use-cases such as special headings or an artwork, etc. I was wondering if I can easily apply fontfallbacks for those.

But I get an error if I do so. You can add additional styles but this requires more than a single line of code. \definefontfamily itself is limited to the default styles because the command creates a typescript behind the scenes.
