* [[Simple Typescript Example]]* [[Example with normal and condensed font variants]]* [[Linux Libertine on mkiv]]size: \fontsize
→Font sizes: link setupinterlinespace command
In ConTeXt there are four ways to switch fonts:
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
\c!em=\v!slanted]
</texcode>
'''N.B.''': <code>scirptscript</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
words: they do not change the bodyfont, so they don't affect interline spacing or math font sizes. So, if
you want to change the font size of an entire paragraph, use
{{cmd|switchtobodyfont}} described below in [[Font_SwitchingFont Switching#Complete_font_changeComplete font .28bodyfont.29 change|Complete Font Changefont (bodyfont) change]]. However, itis fine to use them These caveats also hold when the font switches are used as style directives in setup commands, that is, using themas an option for <code>[[Style_and_Color_Parameters|style=]]...</code> in any setup command that accepts<code>style</code> option. For example, if you are defining a block quote environment that uses a smaller font size, instead of <texcode>\definedelimitedtext[extract][style=\tfx]</texcode> you should use <texcode>\definedelimitedtext[extract][style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace]</texcode> Note however that {{cmd|setupinterlinespace}} is added automatically for section heads, so <texcode>\setuphead[section][style=\bfa]</texcode> works correctly.
== Mnemonic font switches ==
(<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.

\setupalign[nothanging,nohz]
\strikeout{text}
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
</pre>
== Complete font (bodyfont) change ==
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, use `\switchtobodyfont[times]` or `\switchtobodyfont[palatino]`. Here `times` and `palatino` refer to the name of the typescript definitions for the font. ConTeXt distribution comes with some pre-defined typescripts; if you want to switch to another font, you need to define your own typescript.
