= How to use fonts in ConTeXt =
'''The ConTeXt way of handling fonts are [[TypeScripts]].''' It’s a system of abstraction and aliases, which may seem “strange” at first for new users of ConTeXt.
* If it fits your needs, consider first to use the former [[Simplefonts]] module, now in the core as {{src|font-sel.mkvi}}.
* There is now a [http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf manual chapter on fonts].
* If you happen to use [[XeTeX]] then you can forget almost all the magic and start using your system fonts (see [[Fonts_in_XeTeX]]).
Another important thing is that it also does not share font map files with LaTeX and, specifically,
'''ConTeXt does not make pdfetex pdfeTeX read <tt>pdftex.map</tt>.'''
(this is at the root of a great many problems reported by users only familiar with PSNFSS)
