First, be aware of the 21 fonts provided by the ConTeXt distribution's Fonts.
If required, you can regenerate the font database:
mtxrun --script font --reload --force
1 How to use the fonts included by default in the distribution
- There is mainly 2 basics fonts you want to setup : serif and sans serif.
- TeX practice refer to them as roman and sans.
- the command \rm, as Roman, will switch to Serif font
- the command \ss, as Sans Serif, will switch to Sans Serif font
- Give a name to the font you want to use for both with Command/definefontfamily
\definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][rm][refcode to the serif font]
\definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]
