I do not like ‘emboldened’ as it results in a very ugly screen preview for me.
But the new ‘uppercase’ feature is really neat, since it makes something that
I had in mind for IBM Plex very easy to implement. Here is the demo:
\starttypescriptcollection [plextest]
\starttypescript [sans] [plextest]
\setups[font:fallback:sans]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:IBMPlexSans-regular]
[features=default]
\definefontsynonym [SansDarker] [file:IBMPlexSans-text]
[features=default]
\definefontfallback[FakeSansCaps] [SansDarker] [0x0000-0xFFFF]
[rscale=0.75,method=uppercase]
\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [file:IBMPlexSans-regular]
[fallbacks=FakeSansCaps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [plextest]
\definetypeface [plextest] [ss] [sans] [plextest] [default]
[features=default]
\stoptypescript
\stoptypescriptcollection
\usetypescript[plextest]
\setupbodyfont[plextest]
\starttext
\startTEXpage
Some camelcase and number and
{\sc SoMe CaMeLcAsE TeXt with Numbers and also
EA\"e\'a\ae\AE\ and whatever has lowercase, like
Effe Flink} but also different stuff
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
This only works for font families with many weights (IBM Plex has eight), but
there are more of those
around these days.
With a bit of tweaking to the rscale, it should be possible to get visually
correct greyness values
for all of the family's fonts except for the most bold one (bold smallcaps is
generally ugly anyway).
Best wishes,
Taco
