[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 536 bytes --]

Dear friends:
Until now (TeXLive 2018), to write Spanish and ancient Greek in the same document, I used the "simplefonts" module, which is said in the wiki (ConTeXt Garden) that it is obsolete. What is the method to do this with TeXLive 2020? I try to combine one font for Spanish text (eg libertine) and another for ancient Greek (eg New Athena Unicode), but I don't know how to do it without the "simplefonts" module, and if I try to compile the document with the "simplefonts module", I have an error
Thank you.
Manuel González.

Dear Manuel,

To combine multiple fonts, I do something like this:

\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu 
Serif][range=boxdrawing,force=yes]
\definefontfamily     [mainface] [serif] [Tinos]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 11pt]

You might be able to use a Unicode block (ie range) for ancient Greek 
characters (my range being boxdrawing).

Hope this helps.

Charles

Hi Manuel and Charles,

   \definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][New Athena Unicode]
         [preset=range:greek, force=yes]
   \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Libertinus]
   \setupbodyfont[mainface]
   \starttext
   ab τῇ
   \stoptext

Some scripts have predefined ranges thanks to Wolfgang, which avoid
specifing all blocks for a given script.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
