Problem with fonts in Lua

Problem with fonts in Lua

Hi all:

I have this minimal example (thanks to Pablo and Charles):

\mainlanguage [es]
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [New Athena Unicode]
[preset = range: greek, force = yes]

% \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [Old Standard]
% [preset = range: greek, force = yes]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [TeX Gyre Heros, scale = 0.75]
\setupbodyfont [mainface]
\starttext
Spanish text

\input tufte
Greek Text:

Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα οὐ πολλαῖς ἡμέραις ὕστερον ἦλθεν ἐξ
Ἀθηνῶν Θυμοχάρης ἔχων ναῦς ὀλίγας · καὶ εὐθὺς ἐναυμάχησαν αὖθις Λακεδαιμόνιοι καὶ Ἀθηναῖοι, ἐνίκησαν δὲ
Λακεδαιμόνιοι ἡγουμένου Ἀγησανδρίδου.
\stoptext


I compile with TeXLive 2020 and Windows 10. I have the two fonts (New Athena Unicode and Old Standard) installed on my system but with New Athena Unicode it does not compile; on the other hand, with Old Standard it does compile. I do not know what I can do.
Thanks for the help.
Manuel González.

1. Remove the spaces from the key-val entries

2. Don't mix key-val entries with arguments

3. Load hyphenation patterns for greek (you can add them to spain 
because there is no overlap).

The following example works on my system but I suggest to add a math 
font (itemize uses math symbols as fallback).

\definefallbackfamily
   [mainface] [rm] [New Athena Unicode]
   [preset=range:greek,force=yes]

\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]

\definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [TeX Gyre Heros] [scale=0.75]

\setuplanguage [es] [patterns={es,gr}]

\setupbodyfont [mainface]

\mainlanguage[es]

\starttext

\samplefile{cervantes-es}

\samplefile{aristotle-grc}

\stoptext

Just a minor issue, ancient Greek is "agr" (instead of "gr").

That being said, Heraklit is a good match for Palatino (both by Hermann
Zapf). The digitized version is available from
https://greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/_assets/fonts/GFS_Heraklit.zip (direct
link).

So the final sample might read:

  \definefallbackfamily
     [mainface] [rm] [GFS Heraklit]
     [preset=range:greek,force=yes]

  \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]

  \definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [TeX Gyre Heros] [scale=0.75]

  \setuplanguage [es] [patterns={es,gr}]

  \setupbodyfont [mainface, 15pt]

  \mainlanguage[es]

  \starttext

  \samplefile{cervantes-es}

  \samplefile{aristotle-grc}}

  \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
