< From LaTeX to ConTeXt

LaTeX:

\documentclass{article}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{cmtt}{bx}{n}{
  <5><6><7><8><9><10><10.95><12><14.4><17.28><20.74><24.88>cmttb10}{}
\begin{document}
\texttt{Normal and \textbf{bold Typewriter.}}
\end{document}

ConTeXt: Put this in /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/third/type-loc.tex to define the bold typewriter fonts:

\starttypescript [mono] [computer-modern] [size]
\definebodyfont [12pt] [tt] [bf=cmbtt10 at 12pt]
\definebodyfont [11pt] [tt] [bf=cmbtt10 at 11pt]
\definebodyfont [10pt] [tt] [bf=cmbtt10]
\definebodyfont [9pt] [tt] [bf=cmbtt9]
\definebodyfont [8pt] [tt] [bf=cmbtt8]
\stoptypescript

(Note that this is using the more recent cmbtt[8,9,10] family of fonts, rather than the older cmttb10 font used in the LaTeX example.)

Then, the fonts can be accessed as in this example:

\starttext
{\tt Normal and \bf bold Typewriter.}
\stoptext
