Hi, if I need an additional pair of upright and italic font faces, e.g.
a Medium or Light version, would it make sense to define them like this:
I'd just define a new typeface / bodyfont, using fo rinstance
\starttypescript [sans] [AlegreyaMedium]
and then use
\switchtobodyfont[AlegreyaMedium]\sl
or
\AlegreyaMedium\sl
which is also more efficient than adding more variants

Is that necessary? And is it enough?
