Good evening!
First of all, I'm new to this list and also a context/luatex newbe. I have some experience with LaTeX. I want to use a font (Neutraface2) in my documents and I'm struggeling with the typescript. I'm not able to get bold SmallCaps working (the bold face .otf file has the feature smcp, I checked). I tried various combinations and variations of \bf \sc in my document. It gives me bold OR smallcaps, but not bold AND smallcaps. Whats wrong here? Can someone give me an example typescript that I could modify to fit the Neutraface2 font? My attempt to make one is attached.
Greetings, Chris
Hi Chris,
it does not work for pagella either. Did you try \setff{smallcaps} \bf instead?
\usetypescript[pagella] \setupbodyfont[pagella]
\starttext {\setff{smallcaps} This is in {\bf bold} SmallCaps} (works). {\sc This is in {\bf bold} SmallCaps} (does not). \stoptext

Hi Florian,
that does work, thank you very much. I assume the \setff means something like set font feature. If so, I could shorten my typescript and only specify the 4 main font faces (regular, bold italic, bold-italic) since the fonts all have all the opentype features i need (onum & smcp etc.) And these can be accessed via \setff{feature}, I guess.
Yes, you can define for instance
\definefontfeature[dlig][default][dlig=yes] % Discretionary Ligatures: Activates uncommon ligatures \definefontfeature[frac][default][frac=yes,numr=yes] % Fractions e.g. 3/4 \definefontfeature[sups][default][sups=yes] % Superscript \definefontfeature[subs][default][subs=yes] % Subscript
and access the font features with \setff{dlig}, \setff{subs} etc.

Wonderfull! I'm starting to get the hang of it. Even the stylistic sets work like a charm. I've attached the output file in case you want to have a look at what I'm doing here. Now one last question would be: How can I insert a certain character with its opentype name? For example \insertopentypecharacter{f_f_h.alt}. That would be
\fontchar{f_f_h.alt} I think Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
