; #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.

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>|And let's add the two lines, using Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (ref:texgyrepagella):<context source=yes>\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella]\setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]\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>}} = 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>  == Example =={{TwoColumnsUnderLevel1|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>TwoColumnsHighlight
