How-to guides
- Use fonts distributed with ConTeXt
- How to use the 21 provided fonts.
- These are the basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.
- Use any other font
- Case 1: Quick "one shot" (< 5min.)
- Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)
To tidy
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 \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 \definefontfeature
onum=yesfor old style numbers, vslnum=yesfor lining numberskern=yesfor kerning- See Ligatures (2017).
liga=yesfor common ligature anddlig=yesfor discretionary ligature (like st),calt=yesfor contextual alternates. - for small caps, the font must propose Caps variation like "EBGaramondSC12-Regular.otf" et "AlegreyaSC-Regular.otf"
- Syntax for OpenType features from Adobe
- What defines the size in a font? (2019)
- How to set up a font family with optical size options
- Protrusion (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).
- the source browser for s-fonts- files, that a user can run (to get an example) or use as module for own fonts
- Lua Font Goodies with examples.
Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a specific zone in the wiki. Work is also need to merge content of Fonts_in_LuaTeX here.
