'''ATTENTION!!'''
As of December 2013, the functionality of the Simplefonts module has been included into the ConTeXt core. You do no longer need to load any external module to take advantage of the simplified font commands. However, the commands have slightly changed:
`\setmainfont`
is now
`\definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [DejaVu]`
(and the same syntax to set the sans, mono and math font).
To use this family:
`\setupbodyfont [myfamily]`
Note that for monospace fonts, undesired ligatures may be used in `\type`. To avoid this, font features should be disabled:
`\definefontfamily [myfamily] [mono] [TeX Gyre Cursor] [features=none]`
If you want more examples, have a look at the file {{src|font-sel.mkvi}} in the distribution, which contains a good explanation.
