Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\definefallbackfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[DejaVu Serif]
[preset=range:cyrillic, rscale=auto]
\definefallbackfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[GFS Didot]
[preset=range:greek, rscale=auto]
\definefontfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[TeX Gyre Termes]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
аaα
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
I thought that "rscale=auto" would scale the typeface so that its
x-height would match the x-height from the main typeface.
Since I don’t see any scaling, could anyone explain me what I’m missing?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

1. Only \definetypeface supports rscale=auto, the \definefontfallback
accepts only number values for the rscale key.
2. You have to use scale instead of rscale for the \definefontfamily and
\definefallbackfamily commands for the moment but I will change it to
rscale.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I’m not sure whether I get your second point: will you implement
rscale=auto for \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily or will you
disable scale in those two commands?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

I’m changing the name of the key from scale to rscale.

As far as I concerned, please consider that this would break backwards
compatibility.
Relative scaling is a feature that might pass unnoticed until it is to
late to fix anything. And this would be a problems for sources that have
this option already defined.
Many thanks for yuor help,
Pablo

I’m aware of this but I try to stay as close a possible to the
\definetypeface command
which uses rscale as key. I planned this also a while ago and added
rscale as
valid key in the command interface (i-context.pdf).
