hi all.
what's your best way of getting the current font name, regardless of how
it's set (e.g., typescript, unicode, definedfont, low-level \font
definitions...)?
I certainly know about \truefontname{}, but what to put in the braces?
tex: \fontname\font
also in context: \purefontname\font
\font\myfont AdamBold at 123pt
\fontname\myfont - AdamBold at 123pt
\purefontname\myfont - AdamBold
so,
\definefont[Whatever][\purefontname{\font} at 24.56pt]
is probably what you're looking for

Thanks Hans. That's reliable.

also in context: \purefontname\font

This fails with the XeTeX quoted-with-spaces fonts (just gives Chaparral
) . I wasn't looking to test that sort of thing, but there you go.

Clearly \def\splitoffpurefontname#1 #2\\{#1} isn't enough. :/
