Dear all, is there a simple way to convince context to put small caps in italic? Thanks.

it all depends on the font providing them ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Latin Modern uses a separate file for the small capitals but when you use a font which has them in font you can enable them when for all styles when available. \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext {\tf\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par} {\it\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par} {\bf\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par} {\bi\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par} \stoptext Wolfgang
\setff{X} enables font feature X in the current scope --- do I
understand this correctly?

It enables a predefined set of features which need to define with \definefontfeature. There is also a difference between \setff and \addff, with \setff you replace the active feature set (in most cases “default”) with a new set, you can see it in the first line because kerning etc. is disabled after \setff which I haven’t included in my list. In the second line I used \adff which add my new list to the active list and because of this kerning is still active after \addff. \definefontfeature[smallcapitals] [smcp=yes] \definefontfeature[oldstylenumber][onum=yes] \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext {VA abc \setff{smallcapitals} VA abc} {VA abc \addff{smallcapitals} VA abc} {12345 \setff{oldstylenumber} 12345} \stoptext Wolfgang
