Thanks Wolfgang.

Done.

I've let some steam off earlier on.    OoOo<:O)

Oh, the number of times I read it. One more time a moment ago.

Sooo... the Da Fonti Code is hidden in there. In which section of the manual
did you find the clue ?


In my quest to further understand how this stuff works, I've been testing the following...

\setuppapersize [A4][A4]

\starttypescript [serif] [mySerifFont]
    \definefontsynonym [mySerifFontRegular] [name:Times New Roman] [features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [mySerifFontItalic] [name:Times New Roman Italic] [features=default]

\stoptypescript

\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[myFonts]

\setupbodyfont[mySerifFont,12pt]            % this displays the correct font
%\setupbodyfont[mySansFont,12pt]        % this displays the correct font

\definefont[myChapterFont][mySansFont sa 1.728]     % compile error at line 57 with (2) [and (1)]
%\definefont[myChapterFont][Arial sa 1.728]               % this works with (1), compile error at line 57 with (2)
%\definefont[myChapterFont][Sans sa 1.728]               % defaults to LM font with (1), compile error at line 57 with (2)

%\setuphead[chapter][style=\myChapterFont]                      % (1)
%\setuphead[chapter][style=\myFonts\myChapterFont]      % (2)
%\setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\mySansFont]                     % (3) this works

\starttext

\chapter{chapter test}      % line 57

\section{section test}

\stoptext


Looking for further clues.

P.S. Resistance is futile Fontzi...I will assimilate you!
