The problem is, for example, how can one declare a bold-italic small-caps font in ConTeXT. AFAIK i can define \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalicCaps][AFont-BoldItalicCaps]
but there seems no standard way to access it (\bfitsc or {\bf{\it{\sc...}}}) ConTeXt lacks a complete standard set of font attributes and how they have to be used. LaTeX has them defined, thus it is easier to create FDs than typescript. Even how to name typescript-files is nowhere defined.
I was dealing with the problem of a bold italic smallcaps font this weekend, and I was running into some sort of limits within ConTeXt in terms of the number of \tfa \tfb \sc font strategies (is that the right term?) that I could define without running out of room. I suspect it's *possible* to have a complete set of font attributes, but there are some architectural and practical limits at the moment. Anyone who can comment further? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
