; #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.

To learn how to use different alternative of a given font, like regular / bold / italic, see the [[Font_Switching]] in the [[Basics]]. == Example =={{TwoColumnsUnderLevel1|Let see what give the defaults:<context source=yes>\setupbodyfont[12pt]{The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\{\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\{\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\</context>TwoColumnsHighlight

And let's add the two lines, using Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (ref:texgyrepagella):<context source=yes>\definefontfamily == [MyFontIdentifier] [rmUse fonts distributed with ConTeXt| Use fonts distributed with ConTeXt] [texgyrepagella]=== \setupbodyfont* How to use the [[MyFontIdentifierConTeXt distribution's Fonts|21 provided fonts]\setupbodyfont[12pt].{The quick brown fox jumps over * These are the lazy dog}\\basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.{\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\| {\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\=== [[Use_the_fonts_you_want| Use any other font ]] === * Case 1: Quick "one shot" (</context>5min.)* Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)

Very similarly The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in '''[[Font Switching]]''':* how to abovedefine font size, just select a second font:* for a Sans Serif fonthow to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic / small caps* how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced, for which TeX practice is or to refer another fonts with {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}* how to them as '''Sans Serif''' (underline, strike... = Advanced stuff = == The Manuals ==ss) * [http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf 2016 Fonts manual, all the details] for advanced users* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifierhttp://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf the 2013 font chapter]as a separate document* [sshttp://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf#&#91;145,{%22name%22:%22Fit%22}&#93; 2013 reference manual]never officially released, with the 2013 font chapter == Deep dive into typescripts == * [[refcode Typescripts examples]] look at the existing examples to the sans serif fontbuild 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</texcodecode>for lining numbers:* * <code>kern=yes</code> for a monospaced font, kerning** See [[Ligatures]] (2017). <code>liga=yes</code> for common ligature and <code>dlig=yes</code> for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''TypewriTer''' discretionary ligature (like st), <code>calt=tt)yes</code> for contextual alternates. ** for small caps, the font must propose Caps variation like "EBGaramondSC12-Regular.otf" et "AlegreyaSC-Regular.otf"** [https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/open-type-syntax.html Syntax for OpenType features] from Adobe* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier[Fontsize|What defines the size in a font?]] (2019)* [tt][refcode Optical Size|How to the monospaced set up a fontfamily with optical size options]]</texcode>* [[Protrusion]] (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).
