= 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}}.:* 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 =={{TwoColumnsUnderLevel1TwoColumnsHighlight
Let see what give the defaults:<context source=yes>\setupbodyfont== [[12ptUse fonts distributed with ConTeXt| Use fonts distributed with ConTeXt]] === {The quick brown fox jumps over * How to use the lazy dog}\\[[ConTeXt distribution's Fonts|21 provided fonts]].{\bf The quick brown fox jumps over * These are the lazy dog}\\{\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\</context>basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.|And let's add the two lines, using Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (ref:texgyrepagella):<context source=yes>\definefontfamily == [MyFontIdentifier] [rmUse_the_fonts_you_want| Use any other font ] [texgyrepagella]=== \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]* Case 1: Quick "one shot" (< 5min.)\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>* Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)

; #1. Very similarly to above, just select a second font:* for a Sans Serif font, for which TeX practice The actual use of fonts within your document is to refer to them as detailed in '''Sans Serif[[Font Switching]]''' (=ss)::* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][ss][refcode how to the sans serif define font]<size, * how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic /texcode>small caps:* for a how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced font, for which TeX practice is to refer or to them as '''TypewriTer''' (=tt)another fonts with {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}:* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][tt][refcode how to the monospaced font]</texcode>underline, strike...
Let's take a example, we want to use * [https://fontssource.googlecontextgarden.comnet/specimen/Noto+Serif Noto Serif?search=s-fonts- the source browser]for s-fonts- files, that a user can run (to get an example) or use as module for own fonts * Lua Font Goodies with examples.
; #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 Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a dedicated folder:* create a "Noto[[Fonts -serif" Old Content|specific zone in the ConTeXt distribution <code>tex/texmf-fonts</code>wiki]].:* unzip and store the .ttf file in <code>tex/texmf-fonts/Noto-serif/</code>Work is also need to merge content of [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX]] here.
; #3. Regenerate ConTeXt databases
:* the file database: <code>mtxrun --generate</code>
:* the fonts database: <code>mtxrun --script font --reload</code>
; #4. Find how are called the 4 styles for ConTeXt:* {{cmd|definefontfamily}}:* <code>mtxrun --script font --list --file -pattern=*noto*</code>{{cmd|definedfont}}
; #5. Define them as a new typescript (ConTeXt vocabulary)
:* Use the command {{cmd|starttypescript}}.
<texcode>\starttypescript [serif] [notoserif] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Regular] [fileCategory:NotoSerif-Regular] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-ItalicFonts] [file:NotoSerif-Italic] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Bold] [file:NotoSerif-Bold] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [file:NotoSerif-BoldItalic]\stoptypescript</texcode>
