Re: [NTG-context] Automatic character replacements/substitutions

Hi,

Can someone please help me remind how to automatically "replace" a Greek letter (gamma (γ) in particular, but I wouldn't mind if the whole alphabet would be replaced) with $\mathgreekupright γ$.

The OpenType font (Lucida) doesn't have Greek characters (except for maybe μ), but the math alphabets in the math font are complete, so I would like to automatically use the characters from the Greek math in main text (possibly upright math in upright text and italic math in italic text).

Of course I can always create a shortcut for $\mathgreekupright γ$ but it would be great if things like "γ rays" or "α particles" would be typeset "automatically“.

You can use the fallback mechanism for fonts but I don’t there are problems (e.g. missing kerning) when you use the math font as fallback. \definefallbackfamily [textmojca] [rm] [Gentium] [scale=1.15,range={greekandcoptic,greekextended}] \definefontfamily [textmojca] [rm] [Lucida Bright OT] \definefontfamily [textmojca] [mm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] \definefallbackfamily [mathmojca] [rm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] [range=lowercasegreeknormal] \definefontfamily [mathmojca] [rm] [Lucida Bright OT] \definefontfamily [mathmojca] [mm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[textmojca] \startlines alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ \stoplines \switchtobodyfont[mathmojca] \startlines alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ \stoplines \stoptext Wolfgang
