= Next ? =Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before XeTeX and LuaTeX development. Nowadays, using fonts is simple.
For exampleYou will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts in your input file.At the end, how with one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use the 7 weights of Noto Serif SC ?* Extra-light 200* Light 300* Regular 400* Medium 500* Semi-bold 600* Bold 700* Black 900any fonts available on your computer.
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 {{TwoColumnsHighlight|=== [[Use fonts distributed with ConTeXt| Use fonts distributed with \switchtobodyfontConTeXt]] === * How to use the [notoserifscxxx] like it[ConTeXt distribution's done Fonts|21 provided fonts]].* These are the basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.| === [[ConTeXt_distribution's_Fonts#OverviewUse_the_fonts_you_want| for this example of the available fontsUse any other font ]]=== * Case 1: Quick "one shot" (< 5min.)* Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)}}

You have to define "definefontfallback"* [http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf 2016 Fonts manual, all the details] for advanced users* [http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf the 2013 font chapter] as a separate document* [http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf#[145,{%22name%22:%22Fit%22}] 2013 reference manual] never officially released, with the 2013 font chapter
A quite complete example: [[Alegreya_Typescript]]== Deep dive into typescripts ==
And * [[Typescripts examples]] look at the existing examples to swith during 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"** [https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/open-type-syntax.html Syntax for OpenType features] from Adobe* [[Fontsize|What defines the size in a font?]] (2019)* [[Optical Size|How to set up a font family with optical size options]]* [[Protrusion]] (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).

== Already prepared typescript files ==Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a [[Fonts - Old Content|specific zone in the wiki]]. Work is also need to merge content of [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX]] here.
