Yes, but there are not many (tf, it, sl, bf, bi, bs, sc) and I assume that they are extensible. See also below. > You need more typefaces.

(Maybe not modify font-unk itself, but just adding a couple of more definitons to the typescript.) \definebodyfont [default] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1, bf=SerifBold sa 1, it=SerifItalic sa 1, sl=SerifSlanted sa 1, bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1, bs=SerifBoldSlanted sa 1, sc=SerifCaps sa 1] You could add your in=SerifYourFontVariantName sa 1, bd=SerifYourOtherFontVariantName sa 1, And then \definefontsynonym[SerifYourFontVariantName][YourFontName] It's true that most people don't do that, but I see no reason for not extending the model for your particular needs.
