Automatic character replacements/substitutions
Hi, Can someone please help me remind how to automatically "replace" a Greek letter (gamma (γ) in particular, but I wouldn't mind if the whole alphabet would be replaced) with $\mathgreekupright γ$. The OpenType font (Lucida) doesn't have Greek characters (except for maybe μ), but the math alphabets in the math font are complete, so I would like to automatically use the characters from the Greek math in main text (possibly upright math in upright text and italic math in italic text). Of course I can always create a shortcut for $\mathgreekupright γ$ but it would be great if things like "γ rays" or "α particles" would be typeset "automatically". Thank you very much, Mojca
You can use the fallback mechanism for fonts but I don’t there are problems (e.g. missing kerning) when you use the math font as fallback. \definefallbackfamily [textmojca] [rm] [Gentium] [scale=1.15,range={greekandcoptic,greekextended}] \definefontfamily [textmojca] [rm] [Lucida Bright OT] \definefontfamily [textmojca] [mm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] \definefallbackfamily [mathmojca] [rm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] [range=lowercasegreeknormal] \definefontfamily [mathmojca] [rm] [Lucida Bright OT] \definefontfamily [mathmojca] [mm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[textmojca] \startlines alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ \stoplines \switchtobodyfont[mathmojca] \startlines alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ \stoplines \stoptext Wolfgang

Perfect, thank you. Kerning is not a problem as the glyphs won't be used for typesetting Greek. Is there also some way to handle italic with "mathmojca"? (Taking the glyphs from gentium works, but taking them from the math font only works with bold, it doesn't work with italic.) \startlines alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ \it alpha: α ($α$) beta: β ($β$) gamma: γ ($γ$) \bf alpha: α beta: β gamma: γ \stoplines Mojca
