= 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>
To learn how to use different alternative styles 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.)

Let's take a exampleFinally, for older content, refering to mkii, we want keep a [[Fonts - Old Content|specific zone in the wiki]]. Work is also need to use merge content of [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif Noto Serif[Fonts_in_LuaTeX]]here.
; #1. Download
:*The google website enable us to download a zip file with the 4 alternative styles:
:** Regular 400
:** Regular 400 italic
:** Bold 700
:** Bold 700 italic
; #2. Store them is a dedicated folder:* create a "Noto-serif" in the ConTeXt distribution <code>tex/texmf-fonts</code>.{{cmd|definefontfamily}}:* unzip and store the .ttf file in <code>tex/texmf-fonts/Noto-serif/</code>.{{cmd|definedfont}}
; #3. Regenerate ConTeXt databases
:* the file database: <code>mtxrun --generate</code>
:* the fonts database: <code>mtxrun --script font --reload</code>
; #4. Find the name of the new font[[Category:Fonts]]
Text replacement - "pragma-ade.com" to "pragma-ade.nl"

* [[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"
