Oh, sorry. I should explan a bit more in detail. When you're using Xsans, you're actually using approxximately the following shortcuts (see type-xtx.tex; although what I'm sending here are the new/fixed definitions, they should work the same way): \starttypescript[Xserif][all][name] \definefontsynonym[Dummy] [name:\typescripttwo] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyItalic] [name:\typescripttwo/I] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyBold] [name:\typescripttwo/B] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic][name:\typescripttwo/BI][features=default] \definefontsynonym[DummyCaps] [name:\typescripttwo] [features=smallcaps] ... \definefontsynonym[Serif] [Dummy] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [DummyBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [DummyItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic] [DummyBoldItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps] [DummyCaps] \stoptypescript Xserif defines the whole family, so switches like \bf, \bi, ... etc will work properly. > But not this: > > \definefontsynonym[corps][name:Garamond Premier Pro][features=default] > or > \definefontsynonym[corps][file:GaramondPremrPro.][features=default] > or > \definefontsynonym[corps][Garamond Premier Pro][features=default] That only defines a font, but doesn't switch to it. You could: 1.) use \definedfont[corps], but things like \bf for example won't work 2.) use \definefontsynonym[Serif][file:GaramondPremrPro][features=default] 3.) create a proper typescript, here's an example from type-xtx, which you can adapt for your needs: \starttypescript[serif][timesnewroman] \definefontsynonym[MSTimes] [name:Times New Roman] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[MSTimesItalic] [name:Times New Roman Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[MSTimesBold] [name:Times New Roman Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[MSTimesBoldItalic][name:Times New Roman Bold Italic][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][timesnewroman][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [MSTimes] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [MSTimesBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [MSTimesItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic] [MSTimesBoldItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifSlanted] [MSTimesItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][MSTimesBoldItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps] [MSTimes] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[mytimes][rm][serif][timesnewroman] \setupbodyfont[mytimes,12pt] Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
