Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight. Since (2013 /2015 ?), and LuaTeX development.
NOWADAYS, IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE.
-
#1 Use fonts provided with ConTeXt
Really the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 1 minute.
-
#2 Use fonts found on the web
Also the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 5 minutes.
-
#3 Use fonts of your Operating System
Few preliminary commands, then it's as easy as #2
Advanced stuff
You have to define "definefontfallback"
A quite complete example: Alegreya_Typescript
Style, see the font chapter, of the never really issued Reference Manual:
- in the whole manual
- as a separate document section "Simple font definitions"
I want use specific features
- Small caps
- Ligatures
- Kerning
- expansion=quality
- protrusion=quality,
- other: tlig, ccmp, fonts-mkiv.pdf page 65.
weight light, regular, medium, bold, extra...
width : condensed, Semi Condensed , regular, Semi Extended , Extended
shape : regular, italic
caps : regular, smallcaps

I just have realised that \definefont requires fontname of font not identifier neither familyname.
