__NOTOC__
Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before (2013 / 2015 ?) XeTeX and LuaTeX development. Nowadays, using fonts is simple.

You will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts in your input file.
At the end, with one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use any fonts of available on your computer.

The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in '''[[Font_SwitchingFont Switching]]''':
* how to define font size,
* how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic / small caps
= Advanced stuff =
* [[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 ('''!!! WARNING !!!''' 2010 = TO KEEP OR NOT ?2012 need update).
* [https://source.contextgarden.net/?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.
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.
