 \definefontsynonym
[SomeFontBold]    [name:somefontbold]   [features=default]
 \definefontsynonym

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif/sans] [somefont]
 \setups [font:fallback:sans]
 \definefontsynonym [Regular]   [SomeFontRegular]
 \definefontsynonym [Italic]    [SomeFontItalic]
 \definefontsynonym [Bold]    [SomeFontBold]
