Hi,
Is there a way to set the fallback for fonts when we define them not as a
typescript but using \definefont?
\definefont[MyFont][Font.otf*MyFeatures]
Is there a default fallback one can specify?
Is simplefonts module deprecated or discouraged now?
When we define a font via typescript commands, we can specify rm, ss, tt,
mm, hw and cg shapes for it. Can we add arbitrary styles? For example, I
would use this for quotations, headings, etc. Currently, I either have to
spare ss or use \definefont for such scenarios.
Thanks,
--MHB

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.

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 hope it helps,
Pablo

You need also \definefontsynonym but it's easier to create a new
typeface (fontfamily) and load it with \switchtobodyfont.
\definefontfallback
[AnotherFontFallback]
[file:texgyreherosregular*default]
[lowercasenormal]
[force=yes]
\definefontsynonym
[AnotherFontMain]
[file:texgyrepagellaregular]
[fallbacks=AnotherFontFallback]
\definefont [AnotherFont] [AnotherFontMain*default]
\starttext
\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{A}{\recurselevel}\space}\par
\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{a}{\recurselevel}\space}
\AnotherFont
\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{A}{\recurselevel}\space}\par
\dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{a}{\recurselevel}\space}
\stoptext

Thanks for the quick response, Pablo. 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.

Thanks, Wolfgang. This works pretty well.

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.
