Dear all,
I've come back to using Context and I noticed the nice manuals around --
but one thing I miss is \definefontfamily (and \definefallbackfamily).
There is info here:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_fonts_distributed_with_ConTeXt
<https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_fonts_distributed_with_ConTeXt>
and then checking out the specific page:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfamily
<https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfamily>
It still baffles me that definefontfamily, though much simpler than
typescripts (which is intimidating), is not mentioned in the beginner's
manuals (unless I missed something) and neither is it given more
prominence in the Wiki, although I often see it mentioned in the forums.
Being used to fontspec's simplicity, I'd never use typescripts. It would
help a lot, for example, to include a sample of "definefontfamily" in
"Use any font you like".
Is there a reason why definefontfamily doesn't appear at all in the
manuals (as far as I could see), which are rather comprehensive otherwise?
Because Wolfgang has to write a chapter (or a MyWay document) and we're
all mostly volunteers so ...
