I like to use the fonts keyboard, outline and shadow of libertine, defined in a typescrip, e.g. [...] \starttypescript[keyboard][biolinumKB] \definefontsynonym[Keyboard][file:LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[outline][biolinumOL] \definefontsynonym[Outline] [file:fxbo] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[OutlineBold] [file:fxbob][features=default] \definefontsynonym[OutlineItalic][file:fxboi][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[shadow][biolinumSH] \definefontsynonym[Shadow] [file:fxbs] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[ShadowBold] [file:fxbsb][features=default] \definefontsynonym[ShadowItalic][file:fxbsi][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[mylibertine] [...] \definetypeface[mylibertine][kb][keyboard][biolinumKB][default] \definetypeface[mylibertine][ol][outline] [biolinumOL][default] \definetypeface[mylibertine][sh][shadow] [biolinumSH][default] \stoptypescript [...] however, this did not work. Where do I have to define the new commands \kb, \ol and \sh? This works: \definefont[keyboard][LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4 at 20pt] \definefont[outline][fxbo at 20pt] \definefont[shadow][fxbs at 20pt] \starttext The layout of my keyboard:\\ {\keyboard qwertz} it is a german one.\par {\outline Outline font}\par {\shadow Shadow font}\par \stoptext the output: http://perce.de/temp/x.png Herbert

Hans has the final answer on this, but I suspect that the second argument to \definetypeface has to be one of the six predefined font styles (or a \definefontstyle alias to those six). That limits the allowable set to: [mm] [mm] [rm,roman,serif,regular] [rm] [ss,sansserif,sans,support] [ss] [tt,teletype,type,mono] [tt] [hw,handwritten] [hw] [cg,calligraphic] [cg] the reason for that is that for each of those, there is possibly also a bold, italic, bolditalic etc. font. Since your special fonts do not have such alternatives, the easier way is indeed \definefont[keyboard][LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4 sa 1] \definefont[outline][fxbo sa 1] \definefont[shadow][fxbs sa 1] the reason for using 'sa 1' in those definitions is that it will allow the fonts to scale with the current body font size. Best wishes, Taco

Handwritten and calligraphic have no bold or italic styles, only regular.

\definefont[keyboard][LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4 sa 1] \definefont[outline][fxbo sa 1] \definefont[shadow][fxbs sa 1]

You can write separate typefaces and switch between typefaces for outline and shadow styles but for many cases \definefont is enough. The keyboard can be written with the symbol mechanism because a new font switch \kb takes too much code: \definefontstyle [kb,keyboard] [kb] \starttypescript [keyboard] [default] [size] \definebodyfont [4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.3pt] [kb] [default] \stoptypescript \definebodyfont [default] [kb] [tf=Keyboard sa 1] \starttypescript [keyboard] [libertine] \definefontsynonym [Keyboard] [file:fxbk.otf] [features=none] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [libertine] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [biolinum] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [kb] [keyboard] [libertine] [default] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \rm serif \ss sans \tt mono \kb keyboard \stoptext Wolfgang
