= 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 you use [[LuaTeX]], see [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX]]
* If you want to keep using [[pdfTeX]], read on.
Specific page deals with
* [[Fontsize|What defines the size in a font?]]
* [[Optical Size]]
* [[Ligatures]]
= Font support & configuration =
* Using [[psnfss]] metrics in ConTeXt
* Matt Gushee's introduction to [http://havenrockmatt.comgushee.net/doc/textipstex/bookfonts.html virtual fonts], especially for getting expert fonts to work.
* [[URW Garamond]]
* [[Lucida]] : large font family designed by Bigelow & Holmes; suitable e.g. for presentations
There are ways to trick ConTeXt into using different conventions, but if you do that you are likely to run into trouble.
