Here's my MWE: Objective is to typeset a Chancery font text in the upper lefthand side of a page, and then do the main body in some normal font. Then at the very last print a sign off in Chancery. For some reason I can't get both to print out as Chancery. Only one or the other, but not both. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definefontfamily [mwetest] [sans] [Liberation Sans] \setupbodyfont [mwe,ss,12pt] \definelayer[mwe][repeat=yes, preset=lefttop, hoffset=.125in, voffset=.125in] \setlayer[mwe] { \switchtobodyfont[chancery,8pt] \hskip 5mm Chancery Font Here } \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mwe] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext Normal font text goes here. \blank[4*big] { \switchtobodyfont[chancery] This should be Chancery here to. But isn't. } \blank[2*big]Note that if I comment out the \type{setlayer[mwe]} in the source file, then the above will print in Chancery. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I'd like to have the layers in Chancery font and then one last text string in the body in Chancery font. But I can't get them both to be Chancery. How can that be done?

chancery is not really a full bodyfont \definefont[MyChancery][texgyrechorus-mediumitalic*default sa 1] \definefont[MyChanceryBold][texgyrechorus-mediumitalic*default,boldened-20 sa 1] {\MyChancery test} {\MyChanceryBold test} ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hans,
thanks you for the solution to my font problem. I appreciate it.
I'm trying to understand the definefont command you used and it seems that the arguments 'sa 1' in the macro is a size indication somewhat similar to 'at 10pt' but uses a relative size parameter as opposed to the absolute pt value. That the numeric argument after 'sa' is a multiple of the current font size.
Thank you
