two questions about \definefontfamily
Hi all (especially Wolfgang), I have two questions about the font selection mechanism. 1. Three weeks ago you replied to a question from Pablo Rodriguez and wrote (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085508.html): "You have to use scale instead of rscale for the \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily commands for the moment but I will change it to rscale." In the meantime, you have changed this keyword. I have lots of styles that use "scale." Would it be very inconvenient to leave "scale" as a legacy synonym / alternative to rscale? That would be my feature request... 2. The following example: \definefallbackfamily [Test] [serif] [GentiumAlt] [range={greekandcoptic,greekextended},force=yes,rscale=3] \definefontfamily [Test] [serif] [TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont [Test,10pt] \starttext Test Μῆνιν ἄειδε \stoptext does not produce any output. It I replace "Test" with the lowercase "test," I get the expected output. Do you have an explanation for this? Thanks, and all best Thomas

In the meantime, you have changed this keyword. I have lots of styles that use "scale." Would it be very inconvenient to leave "scale" as a legacy synonym / alternative to rscale? That would be my feature request... I added it but rscale has a higher priority and will be the only documented option. 2. The following example:
\definefallbackfamily [Test] [serif] [GentiumAlt] [range={greekandcoptic,greekextended},force=yes,rscale=3]
\definefontfamily [Test] [serif] [TeX Gyre Termes]
\setupbodyfont [Test,10pt]
\starttext
Test Μῆνιν ἄειδε
\stoptext
does not produce any output. It I replace "Test" with the lowercase "test," I get the expected output. Do you have an explanation for this? It was a bug and I fixed it.
