ConTeXt equivalent of plain tex method of loading fonts

ConTeXt equivalent of plain tex method of loading fonts

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

I was using rsfs (RalfSmithFormalScript) using the definition

\def\mathrsfs#1{\text{\definedfont[RalfSmithFormalScript]#1\/}}

rsfs comes in three design sizes, 10, 7, and 5. However $\max_{x \in 
\mathrsfs{X}}$ uses rsfs10 rather than 7. This is because 
RalfSmithFormalScript is a synonyn for rsfs10. If I use the plain tex 
method of loading rsfs

\font\tenscr   = rsfs10 at 12pt %bodyfontsize
\font\sevenscr = rsfs7  at 9pt  %scriptfontsize
\font\fivescr  = rsfs5  at 7pt  %scriptscriptfontsize

\skewchar\tenscr   = '177
\skewchar\sevenscr = '177
\skewchar\fivescr  = '177

\newfam\scrfam

\textfont\scrfam         = \tenscr
\scriptfont\scrfam       = \sevenscr
\scriptscriptfont\scrfam = \fivescr

\def\scr{\fam\scrfam}

then I get rsfs7 in the subscripts. So, what is the ConTeXt equivalent 
of the above plain tex method of loading rsfs?

Something like this, I guess (probably not enough, but it should
give you an idea)

\starttypescript [math] [modern,computer-modern,latin-modern,ams] [size]
   \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt][mm][mc=rsfs10 sa 1]
   \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt] [mm] [mc=rsfs7 sa 1]
   \definebodyfont [6pt,5pt,4pt] [mm] [mc=rsfs5 sa 1]
\stoptypescript

\definefamilysynonym [default] [scr]   [mc]

\def\mathrsfs#1{{\scr #1}}

Best, Taco

Thank you. This is what I finally ended up using

\starttypescript [math] [modern,computer-modern,latin-modern,ams] [size]
    \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt][mm][mc=rsfs10 sa 1]
    \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt] [mm] [mc=rsfs7 sa 1]
    \definebodyfont [6pt,5pt,4pt] [mm] [mc=rsfs5 sa 1]
\stoptypescript

\definefamilysynonym [default] [scriptfamily] [mc]

\def\scr{\fam\purefamily{scriptfamily}}

\definetypeface [modern] [mm] [math] [modern] [ams] [encoding=texnansi]

\setupbodyfont[reset,modern,11pt]

\starttext

$\sum_{x \in \scr X}$

\stoptext
