= How to use one of the provided fonts: 4 steps, 10 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>

This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:
<context source=yes>
\setupbodyfont[12pt]
{\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\rm\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\rm\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
\\
{\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\ss\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\ss\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
\\
{\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\tt\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\tt\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
</context>

And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (texgyrepagella) we obtain:
<context source=yes>
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella]
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [ss] [texgyreadventor]
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [tt] [texgyrecursor]
\setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]
\setupbodyfont[12pt]
{\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\rm\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\rm\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
\\
{\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\ss\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\ss\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
\\
{\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\tt\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\tt\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
