Hello, I am trying for bold small caps, such like {\bf This is bold {\sc and bold small caps} and just bold again} However, out of the box, the inner {\sc ...} part is not typeset in bold. So after a bit of looking I found this: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bold_small_caps But it does not work for me. I noticed the module (http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/) is from 2006, so the bit rot might have set in. Should it still work? Or is there a better way these days?

When you have a opentype font with bold smallcaps you can enable them with the \feature command: \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext {\bf This is bold {\feature[+][f:smallcaps] and bold small caps} and just bold again} \stoptext Wolfgang

Wolfgang,
Thank you. However, I am getting an undefined control sequence here:
l.4 {\bf This is bold {\feature
[+][f:smallcaps] and bold small caps} and jus...
However, the wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Featuresets confirms your syntax. What am I missing?
Regards,
Malte.

The version you are using? The `\feature[+][...]` syntax has been around only since about March 2013; before that you had to use `\addfeature[...]`. Does that explain the error you're getting? Cheers, Sietse
