Dear all,
I've come back to using Context and I noticed the nice manuals around -- but one thing I miss is \definefontfamily (and \definefallbackfamily).
There is info here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_fonts_distributed_with_ConTeXt https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_fonts_distributed_with_ConTeXt
and then checking out the specific page: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfamily https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfamily
It still baffles me that definefontfamily, though much simpler than typescripts (which is intimidating), is not mentioned in the beginner's manuals (unless I missed something) and neither is it given more prominence in the Wiki, although I often see it mentioned in the forums. Being used to fontspec's simplicity, I'd never use typescripts. It would help a lot, for example, to include a sample of "definefontfamily" in "Use any font you like".
Is there a reason why definefontfamily doesn't appear at all in the manuals (as far as I could see), which are rather comprehensive otherwise?
Because Wolfgang has to write a chapter (or a MyWay document) and we're all mostly volunteers so ...
There is the talk that Wolfgang gave in this year's context meeting: https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2021/talks/2021-09-23/definefontfamily.pdf Aditya
