== Introduction ==
 
This is a wikified version of this
[http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb28-2/tb89mahajan.pdf Tugboat article].
 
In this article I will discuss how to use the various font styles in
ConTeXt. Fonts are one of the most complicated parts of TeX. Fortunately,
the macro developers take care of the dirty stuff, and most of the user
interface is clean. Nevertheless, understanding the various options of the
user interface can be intimidating. As a beginner, one does not want to know
all the nitty-gritty details, but just the basic features. We hope to
present these in this article.
In ConTeXt there are four ways to switch fonts:
* alternative font style (<cmd>bold</cmd>, <cmd>sans</cmd>, etc.),
* a complete font change (<cmd>setupbodyfont</cmd>, <cmd>switchtobodyfont</cmd>).
 
I will briefly explain each of these.
