\definefontfamily

Description
Example
In the first example we create a new typeface with the name mainface
which includes fonts from the TeX Gyre family. Even though there is no math used in this example it is better to set one because math symbols are sometimes used in text mode.
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [TeX Gyre Heros] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \rm Serif: TeX Gyre Pagella \ss Sans: TeX Gyre Heros \stoptext
produces
In this example we are switching the fonts which are used for the upright, italic etc. alternatives. With the help of the style
keyword you access one of the predefined styles, by default \definefontfamily
uses the following styles for each alternative:
Alternative | Style |
---|---|
tf | regular |
it | italic |
sl | slanted |
bf | bold |
bi | bolditalic |
sc | smallcaps |
\definefontfamily[changedstyles][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella][tf=style:italic,it=style:bold,bf=style:bolditalic,bi=style:regular] \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \rm\tf Regular, \it Italic, \bf Bold and \bi BoldItalic. \switchtobodyfont[changedstyles] \rm\tf Regular, \it Italic, \bf Bold and \bi BoldItalic.
produces
\definefontfamily[changedfiles][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella][it=file:texgyreherositalic,bi=file:texgyrecursorbolditalic] \setupbodyfont[changedfiles] \starttext \tf Regular, \it Italic, \bf Bold and \bi BoldItalic.
produces
\definefontfamily[changedfeatures][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella][tf=features:smallcaps,bf=features:none] \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \tf ffi, \it ffi, \bf ffi, \bi ffi. \switchtobodyfont[changedfeatures] \tf ffi, \it ffi, \bf ffi, \bi ffi. \stoptext
produces
