Some time back Wolfgang advised me to use statements like this: \definefont [titlefont][MyriadPro-Bold*default at 70bp]
I cannot find what the *default parameter does. Can someone educate me?
When you use a font in MkIV you have to specify which features of the font should be enabled/disabled, to do this you define first a list for them with the \definefontfeature command, e.g. \definefontfeature[myfeatures][liga=yes,onum=yes,…] For the main fonts in the document which are loaded with \setupbodyfont these settings are applied in the typescripts, e.g. \defintfontsynonym[Serif][MyRegularFont][features=myfeatures] but when you load a single font with \definefont you apply the list as argument to the font name after the asterisk. When you want only a bigger version of the serif or sans version of your document you can say \definefont[SansBold at 70bp] without applying the list of features because the are already set in the typescripts.
