Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before (2013 / 2015 ?) and LuaTeX development.
Nowadays, Fonts are a piece of cake
-
#1 Use fonts provided with ConTeXt
Really the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 1 minute.
-
#2 Use fonts found on the web
Also the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 5 minutes.
-
#3 Use fonts of your Operating System
Few preliminary commands, then it's as easy as #2
Advanced stuff
- Obviously, fonts features:
- Small caps
- Ligatures (2017)
- Kerning
- What defines the size in a font? (2019)
- Optical Size (!!! WARNING !!! 2010 = TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP)
- Deep dive into typescripts
- A quite complete example: Alegreya_Typescript
- Font chapter of the reference manual
- 2001 reference manual (!!! WARNING !!! TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP)
- 2013 reference manual never officially released, with a font chapter
- the 2013 font chapter as a separate document
- Vocabulary : fontname, fontfamily, typeface, typescript, fonts, styles...

I just have realised that \definefont requires fontname of font not identifier neither familyname.
