[NTG-context] Google's Roboto Flex font typescript and goodies definition.

Dear Everyone,
Following my attempts to create and learn Context's ways to manage fonts, I
would like to ask about the following:

I've created the structure for fonts in texmf-local folder and after
running scripts they are listed. The output for Roboto Flex is as follows:
identifier                          familyname   fontname
 filename         subfont   instances

robotoflex                          robotoflex   robotoflexregular
robotoflex.ttf             thin extralight light regular medium semibold
bold extrabold black extrablack thinitalic extralightitalic lightitalic
italic mediumitalic semibolditalic bolditalic extrabolditalic blackitalic
extrablackitalic

What is the proper way to use family name or font name to create a
typescript file and a goodies file to take advantage of optical sizes.
Google's Roboto Flex is an upgraded Roboto as a variable font.

I know that this topic has been discussed many times and I've read the
fonts manual but still have these questions. Most of the examples are
rather ready solutions or templates but not always cover ways how to figure
out values from scratch and how they correspond.

Thanks for help,
Pawel

all these naames and combining them into 'regular-bold' pairs is pretty 
much a visual thing as these names are not used consistently; when you 
just use four fonts, a simple few line tyopescript will do (no need to 
make an imp file, just put it in your style)

(variable fonts is not really improving this)

Hi Hans,
I will write what I want to acomplish. While it is definitely thrivial, I'm
either missing something obvious or more experienced users suffer from the
curse of knowledge.

I want ot use Roboto Flex for my chapter and section heads with Garamond
Premier for the body contents.

I followed the Context wiki example and consistant examples from the web.

Here is my code:
\usemodule[fonts-variable]
\definefontfamily[roboto-flex][ss][rotoboflex]
% robotoflex.ttf is the recognized font file name.
\setuphead[chapter]
[style={\switchtobodyfont[roboto-flex,20pt]\ss}]

While the Garamond is embedded and text is styled, the chapter tible is
typeset with Garamond not Roboto.

Any hints or feed back will be very appriciated.

Thank you,
Pawel

Dear Hans,

Thank you for the template. Roboto Flex gets embedded in the generated 
PDF document.

I read the co-fonts manual and the wiki once again. I'll try to put 
together a handful of ideas for rewriting the wiki to make certain 
concepts more friendly for beginners.


My next step will be to create a proper working 
type-imp-roboto-flex.mkiv and type-imp-roboto.mkiv for the non-variable 
font edtion to be more portable. Roboto is a very good font and is 
recommended as a body font for presentations or headings, which made me 
use in the first place.


I must admit that I am struggling a bit but will try to take small steps 
when creating that typescrip definition file.


All the best and thank you,

Pawel
