in my document I combine both regular and bold small caps. As there is no predefined alternative for bold small caps variant, moreover, combining bold style and small caps has no effect, I've had to override an unused one:

\definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][file:pala.ttf][features=small-caps] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][file:palab.ttf][features=small- caps] % bold caps

Now I can switch styles using \sc and \bs.

It would be nice to have a dedicated alternative for this. Or am I missing something?

When you use a opentype font you can enable the small caps feature with the \feature command, there is no need for an additional font synonym.

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

Text {\feature[+][f:smallcaps]Text} {\bf Text {\feature[+][f:smallcaps]Text}}

Text \smallcaps{Text} \bold{Text \smallcaps{Text}}

\stoptext

Thanks for pointing me to this nice feature! This is even more robust.

All my font definitions are based on this example http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Palatino_Linotype_under_MKIV

You can save a few lines in the font setup when you the new simplefonts code (works only with a recent beta). \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default,quality}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \starttext How you, O Athenians, have been affected by my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that they almost made me forget who I was—so persuasively did they speak; and yet they have hardly uttered a word of truth. Ὅτι μὲν ὑμεῖς, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, πεπόνθατε ὑπὸ τῶν ἐμῶν κατηγόρων, οὐκ οἶδα· ἐγὼ δ' οὖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὑπ' αὐτῶν ὀλίγου ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπελαθόμην, οὕτω πιθανῶς ἔλεγον. \stoptext Wolfgang
