** How to use the [[Fonts/ConTeXt distribution's Fonts|21 provided fonts]].
** These are the basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.
* '''[[Fonts/Use_the_fonts_you_want| Use any other font ]]'''
** Case 1: Quick "one shot" (< 5min.)
** Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)
* The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in '''[[Fonts/Font Switching| "Font Switching", or "how-to use the different fonts within your document"]]''':
** how to define font size,
** how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic / small caps
** how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced, or to another fonts with {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}
** how to underline, strike...
* '''[[Fonts/Featuresets|OpenType features]]''' for some common options for {{cmd|definefontfeature}} like:
** '''[[Fonts/Ligatures|Ligatures]]'''
** '''[[Fonts/Protrusion]]''' (also known as hanging or font handling)
* '''[[Fonts/Typescripts examples|Typescripts examples]]'''
* Technical details
** [[Fonts/Optical Size | How to set up a font family with optical size options]]
** [[Fonts/Fontsize | What defines the size in a font]] ('natural' size. 'design' size)
** Get examples from [https://source.contextgarden.net/?search=s-fonts- s-fonts- files], that you can compile and/or use as module for own fonts (with lua font goodies)
