Hi Kurt, this triggers an error in current latest (2020.12.04 20:22): backend > blocked > function 'setmapfile' is not accessible Using LMTX, it seems to be "Latin Modern Roman Math".

I’ll try. But let us know whether something is not clear. My explanation seeks to be effective. It might be not 100% technically right. Others might correct my point of view. You have three main options in both \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily, which are the three pair of brackets. \definefontfamily[identifier][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] The first option is the identifier, you may use whichever you want, but the same should be used defining the same typeface family (fallback typefaces) and in \setupbodyfont (\switchtobodyfont is irrelevant for pandoc, as far as I know). The second option is the typeface class of the family: serif, sans-serif, math, mono. The last one is the typeface name. I would suggest that you stick to the font name as displayed by the font in your operative system. So, TeX Gyre Pagella is the typeface for what ConTeXt defines as palatino and pagella. DejaVu Serif (and many others) is the serif typeface for the dejavu identifier. My personal approach to font handling in ConTeXt (which Wolfgang can correct) is the following: * If you use \definefontfamily, use the full font name in the font selection option (third pair of brackets). * Otherwise, use the font identifier (I guess this comes from a typescript) with only \setupbodyfont (or \switchtobodyfont).
