About font combination in ConTeXt MKIV
Dear friends: Until now (TeXLive 2018), to write Spanish and ancient Greek in the same document, I used the "simplefonts" module, which is said in the wiki (ConTeXt Garden) that it is obsolete. What is the method to do this with TeXLive 2020? I try to combine one font for Spanish text (eg libertine) and another for ancient Greek (eg New Athena Unicode), but I don't know how to do it without the "simplefonts" module, and if I try to compile the document with the "simplefonts module", I have an error Thank you. Manuel González.
Dear Manuel, To combine multiple fonts, I do something like this: \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif][range=boxdrawing,force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [Tinos] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 11pt] You might be able to use a Unicode block (ie range) for ancient Greek characters (my range being boxdrawing). Hope this helps. Charles On 9/9/20 11:31 AM, MANUEL GONZALEZ SUAREZ wrote:

Hi Manuel and Charles, \definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][New Athena Unicode] [preset=range:greek, force=yes] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Libertinus] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext ab τῇ \stoptext Some scripts have predefined ranges thanks to Wolfgang, which avoid specifing all blocks for a given script.
