Ahoj,
On November 11 I asked the list how I could generate bold greek math symbols (I have the lucida family installed).
Until now I didn't get a response, so maybe I should be more specific.
Let me put it this way:
On page 12 of the `Fonts in ConTeXt' manual I find the footnote:
`Bold math is already prepared in the core modules, so normally one can do with less code.'
Can anybody tell me what code I have to add and where? I would like to get the following line $\theta = {\bfmath \alpha' x}$ with \theta in normal math and \alpha and x in math boldface?
First of all, the definition of \bfmath is broken (i probably never really tested it)
\def\bfmath{\bf\mf\synchronizesymb\mf}
i'll come back to more advanced mixed normal/bold switching later (playing a bit with that now);
a main switch to bold math is best done with a new typeface:
(i just found out that there's a typo in type-syn.tex and type-enc.tex: LucidaNewMath-Demibold -> LucidaNewMath-DemiBold
