slanted font feature: LMTX vs. MkIV
Dear list, I have the following sample (using current latest from 2023.08.27 13:48): \setupinteractionscreen[option=max] \definefontfamily[maf][rm][DejaVu Sans] [sl={style:tf, features:{default,slanted}}] \setupbodyfont[maf, 8pt] \setupfittingpage[offset=1ex] \starttext \startTEXpage a {\em b} \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[foregroundstyle={\setupbodyfont[100pt]}] a {\em b} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Using LMTX higher font size gives less slanted text (or not at all). Using MkIV text is slanted fine, independent from font size. Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

I can confirm the slant decreases at larger font sizes. \starttext \dostepwiserecurse{10}{100}{1} {{\switchtobodyfont[#1pt]#1pt:\definedfont[Serif*slanted]\vrule\relax S\vrule\relax lanted}\par} \stoptext Wolfgang

\stoptext in lpdf-lmt.lmt you can try:

tmsy = tmsy * sc
l 610
tmsy = tmsy * f_y_scale
I get now with LMTX the same output as I get with MkIV, the slant stays the same for all sizes. Wolfgang

This works also perfectly fine for me now. Many thanks for the fix and the help, Hans and Wolfgang. Sorry, but I don‘t know why this doesn‘t get the slanted font as bold (I know I should know better, but I‘m stuck at this): \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][DejaVu Sans] [sl≃style:bf] \setupbodyfont [mainface, 100pt] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] a {\em b} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Many thanks for your help again, Pablo

You're using the wrong symbol (you have a math operator in your example) to assign a value to a key. Wolfgang

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. As always, many thanks for your valuable help. Somehow I copied the assymptopically equal to character (0x2243) to typeset I cannot remember what, and I also placed it there (instead of the standard equals char [0x003D]). Sorry, I‘m afraid I wasn‘t able to spot the difference (at a relative small font size). Many thanks for your help again, Pablo
