[NTG-context] syntax for \definesimplefont in TeX Live version of simplefonts
Hello, We are using simplefonts, the version included with TeX Live 2013. As mentioned in another email, we don't have the freedom to experiment with potentially unstable versions. I've been reading http://wiki.contextgarden.net/simplefonts and have it working well so far with the mainfont, sansfont, and mainfontfallback. The part I need help with is for using another font. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/simplefonts#Defining_other_typefaces_and_fonts says we can use * |\definesimplefont|, defines a font for the use in headers or other style elements. * |\simplefont|, defines a font for inline use. Can anyone tell me the syntax for these commands - and for using them? I tried \definesimplefont[titleface][Gentium Basic] ... \setupbodyfont[titleface] There are no complaints and the \definesimplefont line, but I don't know if it's the right syntax. And the \setupbodyfont line is giving the warning fonts typescripts unknown library 'titleface' So I'm guessing that the \definesimplefont line is correct, but I just don't know how to use the defined font. Help please?

The \definesimplefont command can be used when you want a certain font
for the chapter, section etc. heading, e.g.
\definesimplefont[ChapterFont][Gentium Basic][size=24pt]
\setuphead[chapter][style=ChapterFont]
but I don’t recommend this command anymore (and removed it from the new version)
because you can get the same result with a custom typeface, e.g.
\definesimplefonttypeface[chapterfont][Gentium Basic]
\definefont[ChapterFont][\classfont{chapterfont}{Serif} at 24pt]
\setuphead[chapter][style=ChapterFont]
When you want to change only the global font for your document you
need the \definesimplefonttypeface command, e.g.
\definesimplefonttypeface[documentfont][Gentium Basic]
\setupbodyfont[documentfont]

Thanks, very helpful.
I will update the wiki page with this.
