it binds to Serif i.e. the left part of the definefontsynonym (used to
be a complex sometimes left/right thing)
but it should work out well because eventually it's bound to greekSerif
an option indeed it to delay it and assign it in the \definetypeface
(or use [name:GenAR102*gentiumgreek])
i'm still not sure what is the best way to implement this abstraction
