Taco, thanks so much! I really appreciate the wonderful ConTeXt community without whose help I would never have been able to even get started.

This, however, will not work:

Both work for me. Unless I misunderstood what it is supposed to do.

\Gf is later used in the macros to define the Greek font. When defined with the \definebodyfont alternative, this works; when I try the \definefont, I get this error message:

! Undefined control sequence. <argument> ...else \getvalue {MyFont} sa \MyScale \@@@instring \expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1 }\@@expanded \p!doifinstringelse ...{\pp!doifinstringelse #2#1} @@\war \dodoifinstringelse ...tringelse \@@@instring {#1} [EMAIL PROTECTED] \firstoftwoarguments ...

It looks like \MyFont doesn't get expanded when the \definefont command is read, but this is an area of TeX that I find especially opaque...

Rude, but effective:

  \define\koppa {{\Gf \char37}}

Yes, this works and is just what I want. Great!

Greetings, Taco

Thanks a lot, Taco!
