The main manual mentions (ch 5 Typography, pg 92):

"In most cases, the command \setupbodyfont is only used once: in the styledefinition.

Fontswitching is done with \switchtobodyfont. Don't mix these two up because this may

lead to some rather strange but legitimate effects."

What's recommended when using a product meta-structure (standardmakeup-frontmatter-

bodypart-appendices-backmatter) where the bodyfont (and in some cases also the top,

header, footer, bottom fonts change) from one to the other ?

Declare one (1) setupbodyfont and switchtobodyfont from one meta-structure element to the

other or use a dedicated setupbodyfont for each ?
