Wolfgang (off-list),
It is simply wrong to say that \italicface as defined gives only \it or \bi as
a result. Look at the definition. If the current fontalternative is it \it it
will give a \tf result. It is sensitive to the current state in a similar way
that \em and \emph are, but it will always give an italic or roman result.
If we leave the comparisons between \em and \italicface aside and talk only
about the results from \italicface we have a common ground.
You're right the results from \italicface aren't predictable and a fix is
needed but the same applies also to \boldface, \slantedface and \typeface.
Attached is the output from a modified version of the styling command (the \sc
column is the fallback style). \swapface is unchanged and I'm not sure about
its output because it uses the \em code for italic and slanted which means
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=blue] affects also the \swapface results.
Thank you very much for attacking and clarifying this! It confused me from the
beginning...
Just a short update on the topic. The following four font switches
result now in predictable output (e.g. \typeface produces always upright
text which is either \tf or \bf):
- \typeface
- \italicface
- \slantedface
- \boldface
