Pablo Rodriguez helped me out:
Robert,
those commands now read:
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Verdana] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 10pt] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext
I hope it helps,
Pablo
It does help but for the Law of the Conservation of Trouble (or Misery)
Having properly changed my font setup ConTeXt stumbles upon things like:
“ 7~$\xrightarrow[none]$~6 progression ”
The error message is: " ! Ma error: parameter \Umathquad\textstyle is not set."
How and where can I remedy this? This means that you haven't defined a math font so you need something:
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Verdana] \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][Courier] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][Cambria]
or so, depending on what combination you want
Hi Hans, Thanks for your reaction. Unfortunately it has not helped me for I have no idea how to set the parameter \Umathquad\textstyle. Just loading the fonts, as I believed you suggest in your mail, does not change anything: the compilation with a 2017 mkiv still stops at “ 7~$\xrightarrow[none]$~6 progression ”. However, when I use the older font calls, \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Verdana] it compiles correctly files containing arrows ( $\xrightarrow[none]$ ) with the pre-2017 mkiv's . With my 2017 mkiv it still compiles correctly albeit not with the specified font but with latinmodern-math.otf. (Btw, I found the same behaviour for other fonts, such as: dejavu, times, palatino, bonum, lucidanova, lucida, garamond, libertine, gentium, xits, courier, and cambria.) For me the simplest solution would be to keep working with pre-2017 standalones for documents that contain these arrows (for musical tone- or chord-progressions ) But it intrigues me why some process that worked perfectly in many generations of mkiv has suddenly stopped working in the recent mkiv's.
