= 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]] and their "nickname"is simple.
; #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][nickname of 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>|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 add more font in your font family. :* 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>:* for a math font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as '''MatheMatics''' (=mm):* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][mm][refcode to the math font]</texcode>:* the limit is that in TeX practice, we only have one roman, one sans serif, per font family.:* in order to use more (like variation condensed, extralight etc...) we have to define other font family (MyFontIdentifier-condensed, MyFontIdentifier-light) == Example =={{TwoColumnsUnderLevel1TwoColumnsHighlight

Let's take a example, we want to use [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif Noto Serif]. 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= Advanced stuff =

; #1. Define them as a new typescript (ConTeXt vocabulary) in your input file.
:* Use the commands {{cmd|starttypescript}} and {{cmd|definefontsynonym}} to declare
<texcode>\starttypescript Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a [serif] [notoserif] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerifFonts -RegularOld Content|specific zone in the wiki] [file:NotoSerif-Regular] \definefontsynonym. Work is also need to merge content of [NotoSerif-Italic] [file:NotoSerif-ItalicFonts_in_LuaTeX] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Bold] [file:NotoSerif-Bold] \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [file:NotoSerif-BoldItalic]\stoptypescript</texcode>here.
; #2. Define them as part of your font family, here as a roman
<texcode>
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [notoserif]
</texcode>
; #3. You are done! Finally, we have the following input file:
<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 [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [notoserif]
\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}\\
</texcode>

For example, how to use the 7 weights of Noto Serif SC ?
* Extra-light 200
* Light 300
* Regular 400
* Medium 500
* Semi-bold 600
* Bold 700
* Black 900
You have to define specific name like
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifscextralight]
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifsclight]
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifscreg]
* \starttypescript [serif] [notoserifscmed]
and you will switch between each other with \switchtobodyfont[notoserifscxxx] like it's done [[ConTeXt_distribution's_Fonts#Overview| for this example of the available fonts]].
There are any ready to go typpescript file, tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/ for example :

You have to define "definefontfallback"

I just have realised that \definefont requires fontname of font not identifier neither familyname.
