With the STIX Two fonts [1-2], one can choose say Stylistic Set 8 <ss08> for more upright integrals. How is that done in ConTeXt with XITS?

1. https://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/ 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIX_Fonts_project#STIX_2.0.0

see stix-two-math.lfg

\setmathfontalternate{whatever}

This is complicated, it seems: The STIX2Math font does not have the text support that STIX has, so one might want a virtual font, or set the math font independently (I could find any info about that on ConTeXtGarden). Also, in script/calligraphic, STIX2 seems to have is the other way around relative stix-two-math.lfg: setting the feature 'ss01' yields the traditional English script style, whereas the default is the AMS calligraphic style. On most other features, the STIX2 default seems to what I think of as traditional. The feature 'ss07', smaller operators, might be nice to have, but U2205 looks strange, as the empty set symbol comes from a Danish ø, so deselecting just that one might be of interest.
