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:
% adapted from font-pre.mkxl
\definefontalternative[md]
\definefontalternative[mi]
\definefontalternative[ms]
\definealternativestyle [medium] [\md] []
\definealternativestyle [mediumitalic,italicmedium] [\mi] []
\definealternativestyle [mediumslanted,slantedmedium][\ms] []
\definealternativestyle [sansmedium] [\ss\md] []
\definealternativestyle [serifmedium] [\rm\md] []
\definealternativestyle [monomedium] [\tt\md] []
%\definealternativestyle [mediumface] [\mediumface] []
\unexpanded\def\normalmd{\let\fontalternative\md\font_helpers_synchronize_font}
\unexpanded\def\normalmi{\let\fontalternative\mi\font_helpers_synchronize_font}
\unexpanded\def\normalms{\let\fontalternative\ms\font_helpers_synchronize_font}
\let\md\normalmd
\let\mi\normalmi
\let\ms\normalms
\definehighlight[medium ] [command=no,style=medium]
\definehighlight[mediumitalic ] [command=no,style=mediumitalic]
\definehighlight[mediumslanted] [command=no,style=mediumslanted]
Is that necessary? And is it enough?
