= How to use the provided fonts: 3 steps, 5 sec. =__NOTOC__
; #1Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before XeTeX and LuaTeX development. FirstNowadays, be aware of the [[ConTeXt distribution's Fonts|21 using fonts provided]]is simple.:* If required, you can [[Mtxrun#fonts| regenerate the font database]] <code>mtxrun --script font --reload --force</code>
; #2. Give a name to the set of = Using fonts you want to use and select a first font:* Use the command {{cmd|definefontfamily}}. Sometimes, the name of the set of font is called the "typescript identifier":* Let's take an example, for a Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''roman''' (=rm):* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][rm][refcode to the serif font]</texcode>
; #3You will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts in your input file. Declare it as your default font family for your document:* Use At the command end, with {{cmd|setupbodyfont}}:* <texcode>\setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]</texcode>one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use any fonts available on your computer.
; #4. Specify the font size
:* <texcode>\setupbodyfont[xxpt]</texcode>

#* There is mainly 2 major kind of fonts you want to setup : '''serif''' and '''sans serif'''.
#* the command {{cmd|rm}} , as Roman, will switch to Serif font#* the command {{cmd|ss}} , as Sans Serif, will switch to Sans Serif font[[Category:Fonts]]

The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in '''[[Font Switching]]''':
* how to define font size,
* how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic / small caps
* how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced, or to another fonts with {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}
* how to underline, strike...
= Advanced stuff =
== The Manuals ==
* [http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf 2016 Fonts manual, all the details] for advanced users
* [http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf the 2013 font chapter] as a separate document
* [http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf#[145,{%22name%22:%22Fit%22}] 2013 reference manual] never officially released, with the 2013 font chapter
== Deep dive into typescripts ==
* [[Typescripts examples]] look at the existing examples to build your own Typescripts.
* [[Featuresets]], and here some of common option for {{cmd|definefontfeature}}
** <code>onum=yes</code> for old style numbers, vs <code>lnum=yes</code> for lining numbers
** <code>kern=yes</code> for kerning
** See [[Ligatures]] (2017). <code>liga=yes</code> for common ligature and <code>dlig=yes</code> for discretionary ligature (like st), <code>calt=yes</code> for contextual alternates.
** for small caps, the font must propose Caps variation like "EBGaramondSC12-Regular.otf" et "AlegreyaSC-Regular.otf"
