I don't understand. I just compiled this file using LaTeX, and it worked
fine. So it seems to me you can just define a charstyle roughly like this:
CharStyle Funky
LatexType Command
LatexName funky
Font
Family Typewriter
EndFont
LabelFont
Family Roman
Color blue
EndFont
Preamble
\font\specialfont = cmff12
\newcommand\funky{\specialfont}
EndPreamble
End
More or less that, anyway. (We have to define the newcommand since
\specialfont is a declaration, not a command.)
