Oh dear, thanks so much! This does it, and I'm so impressed what you can do in five minutes - absolutely amazing! Plus, it's mindboggling to see that all of this can be achieved within ConTeXt, without recourse to low level stuff. One day, when life is less hectic than now, I'll write you a long letter describing my admiration for you, Hans. Sometimes I feel like we Context-users are like the Apple people in the TeX world, and you're our Steve Jobs. Everything is so much more powerful, elegant, sleek, esthetic, you name it... Well, whatever, I will try and finish my work on this stuff and then I would love to share it with anbody who might be interested. Thanks, and all best Thomas On Jan 24, 2005, at 7:03 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

hm, this is a ll i can do in five minutes:
- just use the fontname remapper instead of processaction and intermediate vars - use getvariables instead of interface specific getparameters - end the par inside the start/stopgreek - no low level hacking needed

I spent some (too much) time today improving my Greek module. For the time being, two questions remain; I'm confident that they're not too difficult for the experts; any help would be appreciated.
what exactly do you want to achieve, if it's only some font following the sizes and styyles ...
