[NTG-context] conditionals and font switches

2007-12-25 Thread Idris Samawi Hamid 
Dear gang,

Consider a control sequence \MyCS. It has three possible definitions:

\def\MyCS{def1}, \def\MyCS{def2}, \def\MyCS{def3}

What I would like is to define \MyCS once such that

def1 takes effect when \tf is invoked
def2 takes effect when \it is invoked
def3 takes effect when \bf is invoked

something like (incorrect syntax but you'll get the point)

\def\MyCS{%
\if\itdef1
\else
\if\bfdef2
\else
def3}

How can I do this Any tips greatly appreciated!

Happy Holidays!
Idris

 something like this should work (if I get you right)
 \ifx\fontalternative\c!tf def1 \else
 \ifx\fontalternative\c!it def2 \else
 \ifx\fontalterantive\c!bf def3 %
 \fi\fi\fi
 search fo \fontalternative in the base (font-ini.tex and alike)

What wonderful gangsters, working on Christmas! ;-)

Thanks a lot for the fast feedback and

Best wishes

You could modify the following macro from font-ini.

\def\fontstylesuffix
  {\ifx\fontalternative\c!tf \s!Regular \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bf\s!Bold \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!sl \s!Slanted \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!it  \s!Italic \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bs \s!BoldSlanted \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!bi  \s!BoldItalic \else
   \ifx\fontalternative\c!sc\s!Caps \else
 \s!Regular \fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi}%
