Options for pairing Concrete Roman with a .ttf font

Hi Boris,

I don’t have an up-to-date installation to test with on this machine and I can see there may be some interactions between newer LaTeX2e code and fontspec that I need to take into account. I can also see I need to add an interface to change the default encoding for different font families. With that being said, does the example document below appear to work for you?

It’s a bit fragile in terms of loading order and needing that initial \rmfamily. Once we have an example that I can work towards I can try to improve the fontspec behaviour...

Many thanks,
Will


\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{concmath}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\renewcommand\rmdefault{ccr}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\tl_set:Nn \l__fontspec_rmfamily_encoding_tl {OT1}
\tl_set:Nn \l__fontspec_sffamily_encoding_tl {TU}
\ExplSyntaxOff
\setsansfont{texgyreheros-regular.otf}

\begin{document}
\rmfamily hello world

\sffamily sans font

\rmfamily main font
\end{document}
