As far as I know, you cannot define fontsynonyms to typefaces. If you
want to use names like 'TextFont' as a typeface, you have to use
\definetypeface.

Thanks, Taco. That did the trick. Now to experiment with more of the fonts
included in the TexLive distribution.

[NTG-context] Problem switching fonts in MKII

2011-01-30 Thread Tom
Kudos for the new documentation chapters on Typography and Fonts. However, I
still can't completely get my hands around it. Running the following code
under TexLive MKII doesn't give the desired results in that defining font
synonyms and switching to those typefaces doesn't seem to work. Obviously,
I'm doing something wrong.

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt]
\definefontsynonym[AltTextFont][palatino]

\usetypescriptfile[type-one]
\usetypescript[bookman][default]
\setupbodyfont[bookman,11pt]
\definefontsynonym[TextFont][bookman]

\starttext

\switchtotypeface[TextFont]
\showbodyfont
\input knuth
\blank[big]

\switchtotypeface[AltTextFont]
\showbodyfont
\input knuth
\blank[big]

\switchtotypeface[bookman][11pt]
\showbodyfont
\input knuth
