Hi, I've a question concerning switching fonts in setups. How to get a sans slanted style? Have a look at the following table. Command Style Comment \ss sans OK \bf bold OK \ssbf sansbold OK \sl slanted OK \sssl sansslanted \sssl OK, sansslanted doesn't work I've made a minimal example to demonstrate how I use the commands. \starttext {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sans] % OK \section {sans}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=bold] % OK \section {bold}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansbold] % OK \section {sansbold}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=slanted] % OK \section {slanted}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansslanted] % doesn't work \section {sansslanted}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=\sssl] % OK \section {Command: sssl}\input knuth\relax} \stoptext Is there a different command to achieve sansslanted? sansbold works, and bold is an alternative as slanted is, so intuitively I would expect sansslanted also to work. Thanks in advance

I've made a minimal example to demonstrate how I use the commands.
\starttext {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sans] % OK \section {sans}\input knuth\relax}
{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=bold] % OK \section {bold}\input knuth\relax}
{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansbold] % OK \section {sansbold}\input knuth\relax}
{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=slanted] % OK \section {slanted}\input knuth\relax}
{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansslanted] % doesn't work \section {sansslanted}\input knuth\relax}
{\setuphead [section] [textstyle=\sssl] % OK \section {Command: sssl}\input knuth\relax} \stoptext
Is there a different command to achieve sansslanted? sansbold works, and bold is an alternative as slanted is, so intuitively I would expect sansslanted also to work.

I'm sure you meant \definealternativestyle [sansslanted] [\ss\sl] [] ^^^ This works. So sansbold is defined by default and sansslanted isn't (because it is not needed so often I assume). That's not intuitive but as the styles are easily created it is OK for me. Thanks for the quick reply. Marco

sure, consider it an exercise -)

well, if we define all of them, we end up with many definitions ... just consider sansbold not being defined Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
