[NTG-context] Overriding a font face in a typescript

2017-02-07 Thread Rik Kabel
ConTeXters, How can I override one or two faces in a typescript? I prefer to use the semibold face in my document wherever an emboldened face is used. I would prefer to refer to it as \bf, or style=bold. (Similarly for semibolditalic.) I currently reproduce the existing typescript in my

[NTG-context] URL styling in btx bibliography

2017-02-03 Thread Rik Kabel
ConTeXters, Is there a user-level control for the styling of urls in the new bibliography system? I use \setupurl[style=\addff{f:ns}\ss] (where f:ns is a fontfeature definition for lining/new style numerals) for the rest of the document. The bibliography honors this formatting for urls

ConTeXters, I have been using \definesymbol for a while, and for most purposes it suffices. However, there is one thing that it does not do that perhaps it should. What it does not do is offer the option to center one glyph over another (horizontally and/or vertically) when it should be
