FirstUsing fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before XeTeX and LuaTeX development. Nowadays, be aware of the 21 using fonts provided by the [[ConTeXt distribution's Fonts]]is simple.
If required, you can [[Mtxrun#= Using fonts| regenerate the font database]]:<code>mtxrun --script font --reload --force</code>=
= 1 How to use You will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts included by default in your input file.At the distribution =end, with one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use any fonts available on your computer.
There is mainly 2 basics fonts you want to setup : serif and sans serif.
* TeX practice refer to first one as '''Roman=Serif''' and '''Sans=Sans Serif''.
* the command \rm, as Roman, will switch to Roman font
* the command \ss, as Sans Serif, will switch to Sans Serif, font
* Give a name to the font you want to use for both with [[Command/definefontfamily]]
** <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][rm][refcode to the serif font]</texcode>
** <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]</texcode>
