→From font-var.mkvi [https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-var.mkvi?search=fontface#l49]
In ConTeXt there are four ways to switch fonts:
* a complete font change ({{cmd|setupbodyfont}}, {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}).
== Warnings Before you start ... ==
1. Placing a font switch at the begin of a paragraph can sometimes generate unexpected side-effects. This can be avoided by forcing horizontal mode before any font change:
and then use <code>\important{important text}</code> in the text.
== Font styles and alternatives ==
There are three main types of font styles: serif, sans serif, and teletype. To
{{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.
\setuphead[section][style=bold]
</texcode>
(<code>\boldface</code> shown above is also defined to parallel the
<code>\typeface</code> and <code>\swapface</code> switches.)
== Capitalizing words ==
* Note that {{cmd|WORD}}, {{cmd|Word}} and all following macros aren't ''switches'', but ''commands'' (brackets behind, not around): <tt>{</tt>{{cmd|em}} <tt>switch}</tt>, vs {{cmd|Word}}<tt>{macro}</tt>.
== Underline, strike through, and overline ==
* Underlined, struck, and overlined text can be achieved with {{cmd|overbar}} , {{cmd|overbars}}, {{cmd|overstrike}}, {{cmd|overstrikes}}, {{cmd|underbar}}, and {{cmd|underbars}}.
The canonical way is <code>\overstrike{text}</code>. However, it you're using mycrotypography with <code>\setupalign[hz,hanging]</code> expect the rule to be placed over the character (with the Latin Modern fonts you should not have this problem, experienced with Linux Libertine and mkiv). This is not what is expected. The workaround is to put the overstriked text in a <code>\inframed[frame=off]{}</code>.
E.g.
<texcode>
bla bla bla \inframed[frame=off]{\overstrike{striked}} bla bla
</texcode>
<context>
bla bla bla \inframed[frame=off]{\overstrike{striked}} bla bla
</context>
Disabling mycrotypography also works, but probably not desiderable.
