Hi,

I am trying to define the different variants of the Roboto font ([1] for sans and [2][3][4][5] for serif).

Now I am trying to define this for context but I have no idea how to define the condensed versions (plus how to access it later). And how do I enter and access the different weights next to regular and bold (light, thin, heavy)? And how to define the weight light as default (instead of regular)? I got so far:

Any help is appreciated :-)

Try the two attached files (untested):

Thanks Wolfgang, your example works. :) For understanding I tried to make the example script-name independent, so it doesn't fix my environment onto one specific script (see attached files). But there must be some secret naming conventions.. then I guess and entered a command to switch to the roboto-typescripcollection.. but I guess wrongly. Are all secret (font) naming conventions somewhere documented? I think the limitation of font-dimensions decreases the reuse ability of context/mkiv a lot. Also I found some thoughts that were made in the context community some time ago: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/talks/2010-09-15-mojca-fonts/some-thou... Is there any progress in that direction with context/mkiv? H.
