[NTG-context] Questions regarding simplefonts
Hi again,
although simplefonts seems very promising and I put the highest hopes
on it, the lack of proper documentation simply prevents me to use it,
which is somewhat frustrating.
Here are some of my unanswered questions about simplefonts ; I'm
willing to update the wiki with any informations this thread could
bring.
1) How can I specify that the default font features should enable the
standard ligatures (liga) ?
I blindly tried several possibilities like
\setupsimplefonts[features={liga}] but none worked
2) How can I get \sc to work with a font family whose small caps are
defined as a font feature, rather than dedicated .otf files ?
3) How can I get font expansion and protrusion to work using
simplefonts' dedicated keywords ? There again, I spent more than 30
minutes trying every combination I could think of, unsuccessfully.
I think it would be useful to have a complete example of code
involving simplefonts and expansion/protrusion that people could copy
paste from the wiki
4) What is the purpose of the 'mode' keyword ?
Many thanks in advance,
cheers,
Nicolas

I try to provide a proper documentation when I release the next
version of my module.

1) How can I specify that the default font features should enable the

Ligatures are enabled in ConTeXt default fontfeature and simplefonts
applies only
the default features to the font, when you don't get them in your
document this could
be a font problem, in most cases it helps to select a different script.
\setupsimplefonts[script=latin]
or
\setmainfont[...][script=latin]
2) How can I get \sc to work with a font family whose small caps are
defined as a font feature, rather than dedicated .otf files ?
The caps font is loaded by default by the smallcaps fontfeature,
if this did not work the problem could be the same as for the ligatures.
3) How can I get font expansion and protrusion to work using
simplefonts' dedicated keywords ? There again, I spent more than 30
minutes trying every combination I could think of, unsuccessfully.
I think it would be useful to have a complete example of code
involving simplefonts and expansion/protrusion that people could copy
paste from the wiki
You can use the two keys expamsion ans protrusion, their values are
the same as you have e to write in \definefontfeature.
\setupsimplefonts[expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
or
\setmainfont[...][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
