= 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 =={{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.)
= How to use more than one of the provided fonts: 1 step, 5 sec. =
; #1. Very similarly to above, just select a second font
:* for a Sans Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''Sans Serif''' (=ss)
:* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]</texcode>
:* for a monospaced font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''TypewriTer''' (=tt)
:* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][tt][refcode to the monospaced font]</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}\\

= How to use my new font: 6 steps, 5 minutes =
Let's take a example, we want to use [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif Noto Serif].
; #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>.
:* unzip and store the .ttf file in <code>tex/texmf-fonts/Noto-serif/</code>.
; #3. Regenerate ConTeXt databasesThe actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in '''[[Font Switching]]''':* how to define font size, :* the file database: <code>mtxrun --generate<how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic /code>small caps:* the how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced, or to another fonts database: <code>mtxrun --script font --reload</code>with {{cmd|switchtobodyfont}}* how to underline, strike...
; #4. Check if the 4 files are identified by ConTeXt now::* <code>mtxrun --script font --list --file -pattern=*noto*</code>Advanced stuff =
; #5. Define them as a new typescript (ConTeXt vocabulary) in your input file.:* Use the commands {{cmd|starttypescript}} and {{cmd|definefontsynonym}} to declare== The Manuals ==
<texcode>\starttypescript * [serif] [notoserif] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerifhttp://www.pragma-Regular] [file:NotoSerifade.nl/general/manuals/fonts-Regularmkiv.pdf 2016 Fonts manual, all the details]for advanced users \definefontsynonym* [NotoSerifhttp://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-Italic] [file:NotoSerifreference/en/co-Italicfonts.pdf the 2013 font chapter]as a separate document \definefontsynonym* [NotoSerif-Bold] [filehttp:NotoSerif-Bold] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [file//pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf#[145,{%22name%22:NotoSerif-BoldItalic%22Fit%22}] 2013 reference manual]\stoptypescript</texcode>never officially released, with the 2013 font chapter
; #6. Define them as part of your font family, here as a roman<texcode>\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [notoserif]</texcode>== Deep dive into typescripts ==
Finally* [https://source.contextgarden.net/?search=s-fonts- the source browser] for s-fonts- files, we shoud have:that a user can run (to get an example) or use as module for own fonts * Lua Font Goodies with examples.
<texcode>
\starttypescript [serif] [notoserif]
\definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Regular] [file:NotoSerif-Regular]
\definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Italic] [file:NotoSerif-Italic]
\definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Bold] [file:NotoSerif-Bold]
\definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [file:NotoSerif-BoldItalic]
\stoptypescript
\definefontfamily Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a [MyFontIdentifier[Fonts - Old Content|specific zone in the wiki]] . Work is also need to merge content of [[rmFonts_in_LuaTeX] [notoserif]here.
\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}\\
