The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in '''[[Fonts/Font Switching]]''':
 
* 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...
 
 
 
== Deep dive into typescripts ==
 
 
 
* [[Typescripts examples]] look at the existing examples to build your own Typescripts.
 
* [[Featuresets]], and here some of common option for {{cmd|definefontfeature}}
 
** <code>onum=yes</code> for old style numbers, vs <code>lnum=yes</code> for lining numbers
 
** <code>kern=yes</code> for kerning
 
** See [[Ligatures]] (2017). <code>liga=yes</code> for common ligature and <code>dlig=yes</code> for discretionary ligature (like st), <code>calt=yes</code> for contextual alternates.
 
** for small caps, the font must propose Caps variation like "EBGaramondSC12-Regular.otf" et "AlegreyaSC-Regular.otf"
