Hi list,
I'm looking to import a font with medium and light weights (in this case
Roboto) and define font alternatives so one can quickly switch to light
text just as one would switch to bold text. There is a stackexchange
answer from Wolfgang
(https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/303648/context-font-weights)
which details a solution to this problem for ConTeXt MkIV but despite my
best efforts I haven't been able to get things to work for me. There is
the Roboto typescript example on ConTeXt garden but it isn't exactly
what I'm looking for as for the document I'm making I would prefer to be
able to treat the font weights as alternatives rather than separate
families since I will be switching often.
One can download the exact set of fonts I am using from
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto
Here is my code:
[...]
\starttypescript [sans] [roboto]
\definebodyfont [default] [rm]
Replace [rm] with [ss]:
\definebodyfont [default] [ss]
[lf=SansLight sa 1,
li=SansLightItalic sa 1,
tf=Sans sa 1,
it=SansItalic sa 1,
md=SansMedium sa 1,
mi=SansMediumItalic sa 1,
bf=SansBold sa 1,
bi=SansBoldItalic sa 1,
sc=SansCaps sa 1]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface[roboto][rm][sans][roboto][default]
Replace [rm] with [ss]:
\definetypeface [roboto] [ss] [sans] [roboto] [default]
