Hi, if I need an additional pair of upright and italic font faces, e.g. a Medium or Light version, would it make sense to define them like this:
I'd just define a new typeface / bodyfont, using fo rinstance \starttypescript [sans] [AlegreyaMedium] and then use \switchtobodyfont[AlegreyaMedium]\sl or \AlegreyaMedium\sl which is also more efficient than adding more variants Hans

Is that necessary? And is it enough?
