I actually use my font as simple as possible with a \definefont[boum][MyFont at 12pt]. Is it the problem?

Yes. You should set up your fonts with a typescript and access small caps / oldstyle as "features".

Okay. I've digged a bit about typescripts. If I've understood what I read, I need to use the \definefontsysnonym command. But I'm currently not able to find any doc about \definefontsynonym (a grammar or a definition or something identical). Texshow does not contain it, nor does the context commands manual. I've seen a bit about it in the Fonts in Context manual (mfonts.pdf) but nothing about the 'feature' as in type-otf.tex [1]. I'll try to copy / paste in an clever way (hum :) but would be relly interesting if someone could point me to a complete doc. Thanks for you reply and greetings from Lake Léman, not Constance :) -AJ [1] http://source.contextgarden.net/type-otf.tex

Hello list,

It the same with the \sc command.

\definefont[boum][MyFont at 12pt] \definefont[scboum][MyFont*smallcaps at 12pt]

Wow, beautifull, thanks :) Where is the * and what we can put after (smallcaps for example) described? I have the strong feeling to search in the wrong place without any result. Best regards, -AJ

The * is used to assign a feature to the font and you could find a description in font-ini.tex /grep for \definefontfeature) but the better way is to use typescripts for your fonts.

Okay. That's what I'm trying to do right now.

ConTeXt has the following features predefined: - default - smallcaps - oldstyle

Yep, I saw them in font-ini.tex, as you pointed me to.

It is also possible to change the features of a font within the text with the command \setfontfeature{...}.

But, if I've understood the point, there is no reason to do that if I use a proper typescript. Right? Best regards, -AJ
