No chance.
You can only define Caps as a new font family and always switch to it.
Perhaps have a look at my sample typescripts at

(press refresh if the page doesn't load)

I don't have a definitive answer, but looking at the built-in ConTeXt modules will give you an important clue: the names SerifCaps, SansCaps, and MonoCaps appear in a number of places, e.g. in font-map.tex: \definebodyfont [14.4pt,...] [tf=Serif sa 1.06, sc=SerifCaps sa 1.06] But the variants you are trying to use don't occur at all, which suggests that ConTeXt has no way to recognize the combination of small caps with bold or italic. It would be nice if it did. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USAHorses bear manure through [EMAIL PROTECTED] its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.) ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] How to define Small Caps when installing a new font (repost)
Excuse me if this message will be posted twice. In the first post I
inadvertently used my work e-mail address which is not registered in
this forum.
A question about fonts. I have successfully installed (for the first
time) a font using the texfont utility and creating both small caps and
slanted variants of the font.
I wrote the following typescript saved in a file named 'Typeface.tex':
\starttypescript [map] [texnansi]
\loadmapfile [texnansi-bertholdag-grotesk-akzidenz]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [grotesk] [name]
\definefontsynonym[Sans] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended]
\definefontsynonym[SansItalic] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic]
\definefontsynonym[SansSlanted] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Slanted]
\definefontsynonym[SansBold] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldItalic] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldSlanted][AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-
BoldSlanted]
\definefontsynonym[SansCaps] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Caps]
\definefontsynonym[SansItalicCaps]
[AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic-Caps]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldCaps] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold-Caps]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldItalicCaps]
[AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic-Caps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [grotesk] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended] [texnansi-gflex]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic] [texnansi-gflex]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold] [texnansi-gfmex]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic]
[texnansi-gfmex-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Slanted]
[texnansi-gflex-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldSlanted]
[texnansi-gfmex-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Caps]
[texnansi-gflex-capitalized-800] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic-Caps]
[texnansi-gflex-capitalized-800-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold-Caps]
[texnansi-gfmex-capitalized-800] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic-Caps]
[texnansi-gfmex-capitalized-800-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [akzidenzgrotesk]
\definetypeface [AkzidenzGrotesk] [ss] [sans] [mixgroteskcmr]
[default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
and in the file to typeset I wrote:
\usetypescriptfile[Typeface]
\usetypescript[AkzidenzGrotesk]
\setupbodyfont[AkzidenzGrotesk,ss]
All seems to work as expected, except for the use of the
SansItalicCaps, SansBoldCaps and SansBoldItalicCaps variants.
What is the correct way to define a font so that {\bf \sc Some Text}
get typeset in the SansBoldCaps variant of the font?
A similar question exists for {\it \sc Some Text}, {\bi \sc Some Text}
etc.
I have read chapter 5.3 of the Context manual and the 'Fonts in
Context' without finding a hint.
Every hint (for a beginner) will be appreciated.
