Dear list, as I have asked in a previous message to the list, I wanted to be able to hyphenate \ConTeXt. Aditya kindly suggested the use of \discretionary, but this has an unintended collateral effect: kerning is disabled in the word. I can specify kerning with \discretionary, such as in: \def\ConTeXt{Con\discretionary{-}{}{\kern-.06em}\TeX{}t} But this also has another consequence: this works right for Pagella regular, but this is wrong with the italic font or in small caps (also with the bold or bold italic fonts, but I don’t use them). \hyphenation would be the way to solve this, but I don’t know how to make it work: \def\ConTeXt{Con\TeX{}t} \hyphenation{Con-\TeX} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint \ConTeXt ConTeXt \stoptext Even in the case it could work, I would like to know how I could define commands (\ConTeXt or \TeX) only referred to individual fonts. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\hyphenation would be the way to solve this, but I don’t know how to make it work:
\def\ConTeXt{Con\TeX{}t} \hyphenation{Con-\TeX} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint \ConTeXt
ConTeXt \stoptext
Even in the case it could work, I would like to know how I could define commands (\ConTeXt or \TeX) only referred to individual fonts.
just use \def\ConTeXt{Con\-TeXt} then or \def\ConTeXt{Con\-text} or whatever you like ... we're not that picky about it.

Many thanks for your reply, Hans. Sorry, only one more question on this topic: isn’t it possible to define something such as the following pseudocode? if emphasis (or italics): (\ConTeXt}{definition} elif smallcaps: (\ConTeXt}{definition} else: (\ConTeXt}{definition} Well, I guess Ι‘m that picky about it :-). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
You can use the \fontalternative command to check for the current alternative (upright, italic, bold etc.) of the font.
\def\Test
{\processaction
[\fontalternative]
[ tf=>Upright,
it=>Italic,
sl=>Slanted,
bf=>Bold,
bi=>Bolditalic,
bs=>Boldslanted,
unknown=>Unknown fontalternative]}
\starttext
“\Test” {\it “\Test”} {\bs “\Test”} {\sc “\Test”}
\stoptext

Many thanks for the solution and your excellent explanation, Wolfgang. This was exactly what I needed. Many thanks again, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
