Is it possible to have the equivalent in \sf in context?. I tried \sf
and I get an error. Strange because \sl, \bf, etc exist
\ss? (I am not sure what \sf is supposed to be, so just guessing)
\sf is Sans Serif (latex)
[\rm roman, \tt typewriter, \sl slanted, \emph empasized, \it italic \bf
boldface; see "a not so short intro to latex" for example]
\ss is plain tex's font command for sans serif, and works with
context. I do not know why latex chose \sf (sffamily, textsf) instead
of ss.
You are wrong, \ss is in plain TeX the command to produce the german ß.
There has never been a predefined command to swith to a sans serif font like
the corresponding switches for bold and italic.
so much for the feeling that I was beginning to understand fonts :-(
