#1. How to use the provided fonts in 5 sec.
- First, be aware of the 21 fonts provided.
-
- If required, you can regenerate the font database
mtxrun --script font --reload --force
- If required, you can regenerate the font database
- Give a name
-
- to the font family you want to use for both with \definefontfamily. It will be called the typescript identifier
- For example, for a Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as roman (=rm)
\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][rm][refcode to the serif font]
- Declare it as your default font family for your document, with \setupbodyfont, and specify the font size.
- \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier at xxpt]
-
This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
-
And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella font (texgyrepagella) we obtain:
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella] \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier] The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

This produces:
- There is mainly 2 major kind of fonts you want to setup : serif and sans serif.
