Re: [NTG-context] abbreviations as macros (Aditya Mahajan) (Aditya Mahajan)
\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[24pt]\ImportantStyle}]
(which will scale the math font, but not change it to Kurier-Bold).
Or you can define a typescript for kurier-bold (see type-otf for
examples), and then use
\usetypescript[kurier-bold]
\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[kurier-bold,24pt]}]

Hi Aditya,
your first solution works very well. You saved my day, thanks a lot! I think
Hans tried to explain it to me but I didn't get him.
I have read the documentation about typescripts but I did not understand it
well. Let's say I have the following simple example:
\starttypescript[sans][test]
\definefontsynonym[Test] [file:FuturaStd][features=default]
\stoptypescript
how can I use it in 'usetypescript' now to change the font type?
I tried
\usetypescript[test] and \usetypescript[sans][test]
followed by
\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[test,24pt]}]
but it didn't work (to be specific, the font size is ok, but the font type did
not change)

If you never need to use a full form of the abbreviation, then you can
just use the same in ConTeXt. The equivalent of \ensuremath is \math;
everything else is the same.
\define\NPV{\text{NPV\math{_0}}
I would, however, write this slightly differently (even in LaTeX) as
\math{\text{NPV}_0}
but that is just a stylistic issue.
Is there a recommended way to do this on conTeXt?
The usual way of defining abbreviations in ConTeXt is
\abbreviation [NPV] {\math{\text{NPV}_0}} {full form}
Then you can use
\NPV\ for a short form of the abbreviation and \infull{NPV} for the full
form. The advantage is that you can also get a list of used abbreviations.

Hi Aditya,
can you tell me how I can ensure as in AMSmath that the font size in
abbreviations automatically match the font size of current text? see my
example below.

EXAMPLE
\definealternativestyle[ImportantStyle][{\definedfont[Kurier-Bold at 24pt]}]
\definetextbackground[zhu]
[location=paragraph,
background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,
leftoffset=0.5\bodyfontsize,rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
style=ImportantStyle,
frame=off]
\startsetups important:start
\starttextbackground[zhu]
\stopsetups
\startsetups important:stop
\endgraf
\stoptextbackground
\stopsetups
\definestartstop
[important]
[before=\setups{important:start},
after=\setups{important:stop}]
\abbreviation [NPV] {\math{\text{NPV}}} {full form}
\starttext
this looks normal $x$, \NPV.
\startimportant
this looks bad \mathematics{x}, \NPV.
\stopimportant
this looks normal $x$, \NPV.
\stoptext
END EXAMPLE

EXAMPLE
Shorter example showing what goes wrong:
\definealternativestyle[ImportantStyle]
[{\definedfont[Kurier-Bold at 24pt]}]
\defineframedtext[important][style=ImportantStyle]
\starttext
\startimportant
Math $x$ does not scale
\stopimportant
\stoptext
The reason is that you only specified how to scale text. To get the right
math scaling you have to use \switchtobodyfont. You can go about it in two
ways
\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[24pt]\ImportantStyle}]
(which will scale the math font, but not change it to Kurier-Bold).
Or you can define a typescript for kurier-bold (see type-otf for
examples), and then use
\usetypescript[kurier-bold]
\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[kurier-bold,24pt]}]
