= Getting access Using [[LuaTeX]] as the processing engine in ConTeXt allows one to directly use fonts installed on the user's system . Instead of converting all fonts =into the standard <code>.tfm</code> and <code>.vf</code> formats (as outlined in some [[This Way - My Way#MyWay|My Way]] documents<ref>[http://dl.contextgarden.net/websitesarchive/atl/tex/OpenType.pdf OpenType in ConTeXt] by Adam Lindsay</ref><ref>[http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/expertfonts.pdf Installing Expert Fonts: Minion Pro] by Idris Samawi Hamid</ref>), LuaTeX creates these metric files automatically at run-time. This greatly simplifies font installation in ConTeXt.

= How LuaTeX can use non-TeX handles system fonts (in OpenType, TrueType or Type1 format) directly. =

Mac OS users should note that many of their system LuaTeX can use fonts come packaged in the non-TeX format (e.g.dfont OpenType, TrueType or Type1 format) directly. When ConTeXt processes a file that uses such non-traditional fonts, the actual fonts themselves are loaded in LuaTeX's embedded section of fontforge to extract their metric information. This format removes the need for tfm and vf files on your disk, but it is Macalso a somewhat lengthy and often memory-specific and isn't recognized by LuaTeX ; but hungry process. Fortunately, the result of that internal preprocessing are also saved inside the free software [http://fondutexmf cache.sourceforge.net/#Fondu fondu] program Future runs using the same font (not just this file, but all files using that particular font) can be used to convert dfont fonts to TrueTypethen use the cached version of the metrics instead.

The first time Mac OS users should note that you run  context myfilethe current version of LuaTeX (0.tex on a file that uses such non-traditional fonts (which is probably always60), has severe problems dealing with the actual new TrueType collection fonts themselves have to be loaded in luatex's embedded section of fontforge to extract their metric informationSnow Leopard (Mac OS 10. This removes the need for tfm and vf files on your disk, but it is also a somewhat lengthy and often memory-hungry process6). That is why the results of that internal preprocessing are also saved inside the texmf cacheThe older Mac OS . Future runs using the same font (not just this file, but all files using that particular font) can then use the cached version of the metrics insteaddfont format works fine nowadays.

You need to specify where the fonts should be looked for, by setting the <code>OSFONTDIR</code> environment variable. For instanceOn Windows,this might be achieved by running

if the fonts should be found in <code>c:/windows/fonts/</code>; or. For Unix machines,

if indicate that the fonts should be found in both <code>/usr/local/share/fonts</code> and <code>$HOME/.fonts</code>.

The font database will then be automatically generated in the next run of <code>context</code> . You can also generate it manually by typing mtxrun --script font --reloador equally

This normally only happens for fonts that are still in development like [[TeX Gyre- Old Content]] and [[Latin Modern]].

You need to add the command <code>\checkcharactersinfont</code> or(better) <code>\enabletrackers[http://contextfonts.aanhet.netmissing]</svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fontscode> in the preambleof your document.pdf The new manual chapter on fonts]

== With the <code>simplefonts</code> module References ==

[http://wwwcontext.ctanaanhet.orgnet/tex-archivesvn/macroscontextman/context-reference/contriben/contextco-simplefonts simplefontsfonts.pdf The new manual chapter on fonts] is a third-party module written by Wolfgang Schuster.

For instance, assuming the [http://wwwpragma-ade.josbuivenga.demon.nlcom/general/manuals/deliciousmfonts.html Delicious fontspdf Old Fonts Manual by Hans Hagen] are properly installed and recognized by ConTeXt, you can simply write:

<texcode>\usemodule[simplefontshttp://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf New Fonts Manual by Hans Hagen] % load the module\setmainfont[Delicious] % set Delicious as main (serif) font

=== Installing <code>simplefonts</code> ==Using fonts =

* If you're using Handling fonts in LuaTeX along with TeXlive 2009, <code>simplefonts</code> is already installedcan be done* If you're running in a simple but limited way, using the [[ConTeXt Minimals]], Simplefonts - Old Content|<code>simplefonts</code> can be installed like [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Installing_third_party_modules any third-party module]:]; first* in the standard way, using [[TypeScripts -setup.sh --extras="t-simplefonts"Old Content]]

<{{cmd>|usetypescriptfile</cmd> }} is the preferred command because it takes care of the<{{cmd>|starttypescriptcollection</cmd>}}/<{{cmd>|stoptypescriptcollection</cmd> }} environments. === Very simple example of typescript === If you are new to typescript you might have a look at this [[Simple Typescript Example]] to get a first idea how to use it.

Each of the typescripts below defines a keyword to use with <{{cmd>|setupbodyfont</cmd>}}. Usually this is the same as the name of the typescript, but there is one exception (<code>antykwa-torunska</code>)

* Antykwa Toruńska (ts name: <code>antykwa-torunska</code>; only serif; defines <tt>antykwa</tt> as keyword for <{{cmd>|setupbodyfont</cmd>}})

But ... how is it any different, then? Well, the difference is that in Mark IV, we can use an Opentype font directly, so that what is done here: when we want to use Palatino, the [[TeX Gyre- Old Content]] equivalent (“Pagella”) is called and we can use its Opentype “features”; read on.
