not like that complicated (we do not need font fallback).
it is only something about:
save the current font style (like \ss, \it ,10pt) to a macro . then
apply the macro to a group.
for example
aa { \anotherfont bb}
we should save the style for aa when \anotherfont is called, and apply
that style to bb.
that should be enough. but we don't know how to get the font style.
