Hi Hans, Indeed with your solution, that is saying
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][texgyrepagella] \definefontfamily[mainface][sans][texgyrepagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface] or more simply saying \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] there is no problem. It seems that the issue comes from the use of \definefontfamily[mainface][sans][palatino] in the example I sent. So I am going to use your way of defining the fontfamily.
