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.
And another question: how to make very big fonts (for example: 60pt)
in
text and mathematical mode? I just want to change the font temporally (and don't touch \setupbodyfont)
\switchtobodyfont inside a group will change the font temporarily. For using very large fonts, you may have to define the font dimension in \definebodyfont or \definebodyfontenvironment.
Okay.
Thanks, Xan.
PS: A couriosity: is there a roadmap of versions/features for context?. I see that context is continously improved....
An old document http://pragma-ade.com/present/road/roadmap.pdf and recent changes http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mk.pdf
AFIAU, new features are based on user's requests and Hans' needs.
