The recipes as given work with the standalone ConTeXt distribution, but not
with TeX Live et al. [http://pragma-ade.com/general/technotes/tfmetrics.pdf]
explains why ConText uses separate font metrics, and gives some differences
between the sets. To use the recipes with other distributions,
try adding one of <code>\usetypescript[berry][ec]</code> or
<code>\usetypescript[adobekb][ec]</code>.
== Conclusion ==
There are many other ways of choosing font styles in ConTeXt. If thesebasic styles do not satisfy your needs, have a look at the [[Manuals|manuals]],or ask on the [[ConTeXt Mailing Lists]].

* a complete font change ({{cmd|setupbodyfont}}, {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}).
== Warning Before you start ... ==
1. Placing a font switch at the begin of a paragraph can sometimesgenerate unexpected side-effects. This can be avoided by forcinghorizontal mode before any font change:
<texcode>
\dontleavehmode{\bf Warning!} Care must be taken when a font switch is usedat the beginning of a paragraph.\par
</texcode>
2. It is usually a bad style to use explicit font switches in the text. It is better to define a semantic command that takes care of the font switching. For example, instead of using <code>{\bf\red important text}</code>
<texcode>
\definehighlight[important][style=bold, color=red]
</texcode>
and then use <code>\important{important text}</code> in the text.
== Font styles and alternatives ==
{{cmd|em}} switches to slanted; and if the current font alternative is slanted,
{{cmd|em}} switches to normal.

As defined in [[source:font-ini.mkivmkvi|font-ini]]. All sizes in pt, except factor.
\c!em=\v!slanted]
</texcode>
'''N.B.''': <code>scirpt</code> and <code>scriptsize</code> are used in math mode.
It is also possible to set the scaling factors for specific font sizes. For example, if you want {{cmd|tfa}} to set the effective font size to 12pt when the bodyfont size is 10pt, and to set the effective font size to
14pt when the bodyfont size is 11pt, then add
<texcode>
\definebodyfontenvironment [11pt] [a=14pt]
</texcode>
'''Note:''' When the first parameter is <code>default</code>, the scaling factors ''must'' have numerical values. When the first parameter is a font size (e.g., <code>12pt</code>), the scaling factors can either be numerical value or a dimension.
{{cmd|definebodyfontenvironment}} is described in detail in
the ConTeXt manual and the [[source:font-ini.mkiv|font-ini]] source file.
In addition, the commands {{cmd|smallbodyfont}} and
{{cmd|bigbodyfont}} can be used to change the font size. The relative size depends on the value of <code>big</code> and <code>small</code> in {{cmd|definebodyfontenvironment}}.
These mnemonic font switches are pretty smart. You can either use them as
\setuphead[section][style=bold]
</texcode>
(<code>\boldface</code> shown above is also defined to parallel the
<code>\typeface</code> and <code>\swapface</code> switches.)
== Complete font (bodyfont) change ==
{{cmd|switchtobodyfont}} can be localized within a group as usual.
== Different Switching typefaces ==
So far we have discussed style and size changes within a given typeface
family. If you want to use a different typeface altogether, such as Times or
Palatino, see the Pragma web site has recipes covering all the commonly availabletypefaces [http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf], while aseparate manual describes how to write support for new typefaces[http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mfonts.pdf]following articles.
