Wow, beautifull, thanks :) Where is the * and what we can put after
(smallcaps for example) described? I have the strong feeling to search
in the wrong place without any result.
The * is used to assign a feature to the font and you could find
a description in font-ini.tex /grep for \definefontfeature) but the better
way is to use typescripts for your fonts.
ConTeXt has the following features predefined:
- default
- smallcaps
- oldstyle
It is also possible to change the features of a font within the text
with the command \setfontfeature{...}.

Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply :) Henning Hraban Ramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Am 2008-04-13 um 20:39 schrieb Antoine Junod: I actually use my font as simple as possible with a \definefont[boum][MyFont at 12pt]. Is it the problem? Yes. You should set up your fonts with a typescript and access small caps / oldstyle as features. Okay. I've digged a bit about typescripts. If I've understood what I read, I need to use the \definefontsysnonym command. But I'm currently not able to find any doc about \definefontsynonym (a grammar or a definition or something identical). Texshow does not contain it, nor does the context commands manual. I've seen a bit about it in the Fonts in Context manual (mfonts.pdf) but nothing about the 'feature' as in type-otf.tex [1]. I'll try to copy / paste in an clever way (hum :) but would be relly interesting if someone could point me to a complete doc.

Okay. That's what I'm trying to do right now.
ConTeXt has the following features predefined:
- default
- smallcaps
- oldstyle
Yep, I saw them in font-ini.tex, as you pointed me to.
It is also possible to change the features of a font within the text
with the command \setfontfeature{...}.
But, if I've understood the point, there is no reason to do that if I
use a proper typescript. Right?

You could also define your own font features with \definefontfeature

with the command \setfontfeature{...}.

It depends what do you want, normally no but you could use it to
change the figures in a table to tabular figures.
