Dear All!

Is there in ConTeXt an equivalent of LaTeX2e automatic selection of font shape depending on font size?

For example, the following LaTeX statement (from type1ec.sty):

\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{cmr}{m}{n}{ <-6> cmr5 <6-7> cmr6 <7-8> cmr7 <8-9> cmr8 <9-10> cmr9 <10-12> cmr10 <12-17> cmr12 <17-> cmr17 }{}

means: for cmr family in OT1 encoding (series=medium, shape=normal) LaTeX will use:

for font sizes < 6pt use (scaled) external font cmr5 for font sizes >= 6pt and < 7pt, use (scaled) external font cmr6 for font sizes >= 7pt and < 8pt, use (scaled) external font cmr7 . . . for font sizes >= 12pt and < 17pt, use (scaled) external font cmr12 for font sizes >= 17pt, use (scaled) external font cmr17).

For example, if 5,5 pt font size of cmr font family in OT1 encoding (series=medium, shape=normal) is needed for typing text or math, LaTeX will automatically use external font cmr5 (cmr5.tfm), scaled to 5,5pt design size. For 24 pt font size -- external font cmr17 scaled to 24pt design size, etc.

Is there in ConTeXt something like this?

In type-siz.tex I see this: % cmr \starttypescript [serif] [computer-modern] [size] \definebodyfont [12pt] [rm] [tf=cmr12, bf=cmbx12, it=cmti12, sl=cmsl12, bi=cmbxti10 at 12pt, bs=cmbxsl10 at 12pt, sc=cmcsc10 at 12pt] I guess it does what you want. And in type-enc.tex I see this: \definefontsynonym [Times-Roman] [\typefaceencoding-utmr8a] [encoding=\typefaceencoding] Perhaps it does the same for scalable fonts.
