Thank you very much, Wolfgang. The time zone difference is helpful sometimes. I went to bed last night very frustrated and woke up this morning to find your solution in my inbox. It is also good to see that your assistance to me has also helped someone else. I do have a couple of questions: 1. Why aren't the \usetypescriptfile commands necessary? 2. It never occurred to me to consider the dedication as a separate chapter. Logically, it is but is the inverse of other chapters, sort of, in that the chapter title isn't normally displayed and the body of the chapter is printed in a different font than are the other chapters.

I'm completely flummoxed as how to use fonts from different families. Follows is an attempt to use Pallatino (rm) for the text of a book, Iwono-heavy for chapter titles (sansbold), Iwona-light (sans) for page headers (intended but not implemented), and Chancery (cg) for the dedication. The only font that appears to come out right are the chapter titles and I can't change their size without changing the size of the text font. I apparently haven't found the right manual yet or am too stupid to understand what must be a relatively simple concept.
You can define multiple typefaces. % engine=pdftex % fonts \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [iwona-heavy] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] \definetypeface [pagenumber] [ss] [sans] [iwona-light] [default] \definetypeface [dedication] [rm] [serif] [chancery] [default] \setupbodyfont[mainface] % headings \definehead [intro] [chapter] \definehead [dedication][chapter] \setuphead[chapter][style=\ss\bfa,alternative=middle] \setuphead[intro][number=no] \setuphead[dedication][number=no,style={\switchtobodyfont[dedication,16pt]}] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] % pagenumbers \setuppagenumbering[style={\switchtobodyfont[pagenumber]}] \starttext \dedication{Dedication} \completecontent \intro{Introduction - Ag} \input knuth \chapter{First chapter - Ag} \input knuth \chapter{Second Chapter - Ag} \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang ____________________________________________________________________________ _______ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ____________________________________________________________________________ _______
