→Fonts location on your computer
But it it's very likely that you also want to use the font already available on your Operating System:
;1. Specify where ConTeXt should looked for fonts, by setting the '''OSFONTDIR''' environment variable.
:** WINDOWS: <code>set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts/</code>:** MAC: <code>export OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts/;/System/Library/Fonts;$HOME/Library/Fonts</code>:** GNU/LINUX: <code>export OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts/;/System/Library/Fonts;$HOME/Library/Fonts</code>:** Add it to your .bashrc or shell equivalent to make the declaration permanent.
;2. Update ConTeXt databases
:* the file database: <code>mtxrun --generate</code>
:* the fonts database: <code>mtxrun --script font --reload</code>
;3. Check by looking for the specific font you want to use next
:* a very common example <code>mtxrun --script font --list --file -pattern=*helvetica*</code>
