How to define a font with an effect as a font with \definefont
Wityh this working example: \starttext The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog \definefontfeature [effect-widen] [effect={width=.2,delta=0.3}] \definedfont[Sans*widen,effect-widen] The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog \stoptext I am puzzling to turn my working \definedfont into a \definefont so I can use that instead. Actually, my setup is Optima with Helvetica used for Cyrillic: \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:cyrillic, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes, rscale=1.0] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] \setupbodyfont[archimate] And I would like the effect to work on just the Optima font (which is a bit light for this use) I’ve been trying to work out using \definefont with the effect but have so far failed. Thanks, G

Hi Gerben, this code may work for you: \definefontfeature [effect-widen] [effect={width=.2,delta=0.3}] \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:cyrillic, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes, features={effect-widen}] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] [features={effect-widen}] \setupbodyfont[archimate] \starttext \doloopoverlist{\tf, \it, \bf, \bi}{ \recursestring\hyphenatedword{Николаевич typography}\par} \stoptext BTW, rscale is set to 1.0 by default (as far as I can tell).

Many thanks for the correction, Wolfgang. I forgot to add the default features after correcting another typo in the code. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Well, you could try it. With one small correction (line 10 here), and effects exaggerated for demonstrations, it works just fine: \definefontfeature [effect-widen] [effect={width=4.2,delta=0.3}] \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Calibri] [preset=range:cyrillic, force=yes, features=default] \definefontfamily` [archimate] [ss] [Calibri] [features={default,effect-widen}] \setupbodyfont[archimate] \starttext \doloopoverlist{\tf, \it, \bf, \bi}{ \recursestring{{\russian\hyphenatedword{Николаевич}\ \hyphenatedword{typography}}}\par} \stoptext Gives: (I don't have your fonts, but this illustrates more clearly the difference in handling for the two family definitions.) -- Rik

Sorry, Gerben, it was only an example to show that you could apply the feature to any font or fallback family. If you remove "features={default, effect-widen}" from "\definefallbackfamily", the effect won’t be applied to Helvetica. I hope it is clear now, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
