Hi there,

I am a bit confused about \definetypeface. I try to mix some
self-installed otf-fonts. Serif works fine, but I can't get the sans
variant to work:

\definetypeface [chaparral][rm][serif] [chaparral][default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface [myriad]   [ss][sans]  [myriad]   [default][encoding=texnansi]

\ss does not switch to myriad (instead, ConTeXt uses lmss), but \myriad
does! So I think that the font is installed correctly and the
typescript is not completely broken.

How should the \setupbodyfont look like? My current setup is:
\setupbodyfont[chaparral,14pt]

What other information do you need?

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I'm myself not a font expert but one of the next two solutions should work.

\setupbodyfont[chaparral,myriad,14pt]

with your current \definetypeface settings

or

\definetypeface [mytypeface][rm][serif][chaparral][default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface [mytypeface][ss][sans] [myriad]   [default][encoding=texnansi]

\setupbodyfont[mytypeface]
