Set a math font to avoid problems.

You use \rm here which is used to switch to the serif typeface. When your goal is to enforce the upright alternative you use the wrong command because you need \tf for this.

Thank you, that got me the right info on ConTeXtgarden. I now use \tf and: \starttypescript [sans] [optima] \setups[font:fallback:sans] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Regular)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Bold)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Italic)] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [file:Optima.ttc(Optima Bold Italic)] [features=default] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [optima] [ss] [sans] [optima] [default] \definetypeface [optima] [rm] [serif] [optima] [default] \definetypeface [optima] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [optima] [mm] [math] [optima] [default] \setupbodyfont [optima] As I now understand it, I have now defined the typescript for sans, but created a setup that sans is the fallback. I have also defined rm, tt and mm explicitly. But my guess is that if I had used ss instead of rm everywhere in my code it would have worked as well. G

This does not work because you have no serif or math typescripts for optima (\starttypescript [serif] [optima]) defined. Wolfgang

mm should be modern anyway, I think (not that I need it, I only want the ss form anyway). use pagella math with optima, not modern

Zo?

\definetypeface [optima] [mm] [math] [pagella] [default]

Ik gok, want documentatie die dat helder maakt heb ik niet. Er is geen uitleg in de manuals die bij de standalone context komen en op ContextGarden vond ik voora l mkii zaken die niet meer geldig/juist zijn. er is een dikke font manual en verder is er wolfgangs module (met documentatie, ook op de wiki) maar meestal is een font setup vrij simple: ik zelf pak gewoon een type-imp-* file, copieer wat regels en vul dan de font file namen in; er zit ook allerhande font spul in de test suite
