Thank you. One thing that \getscaledglyph does it works agnostic to the
currently selected font. For example:
\starttext
% This will print a sans “A” 1.5x larger than 12pt
\switchtobodyfont[12pt,sans]
\getscaledglyph{1.5}{}{A}\par
% This will print a serif “A” 1.5x larger than 10pt
\switchtobodyfont[10pt,serif]
\getscaledglyph{1.5}{}{A}\par
\stoptext
I’m guessing there isn’t a way to use \definedfont in a similar fashion?
Also, I noticed that \definedfont doesn’t seem to play nicely with
\switchtobodyfont:
\starttext
\definefontfeature[whatever][default][extend=2.5]
% This looks ok
\switchtobodyfont[12pt,serif]
{\definedfont[Serif*whatever at 12pt] what}ever\par
% the “ever” is not printed properly, it overlaps itself
\switchtobodyfont[10pt,serif]
{\definedfont[Serif*whatever at 10pt] what}ever\par
\stoptext
Best,
Brian
