< [[XeTeX]] | [[Fonts]] >
Fonts get special treatment in [[XeTeX]]. By supporting a rich, within-TeX means of font specification, one avoids the usual difficulties associated with the TeX font mess: no dealing with map files, encodings, Karl Berry naming schemes, tfms, or virtual fonts. This page describes the various typescripts introduced with [[source:type-otf.tex|type-otf.tex]] (shared with LuaTeX, up-to-date) and [[source:type-xtx.tex|type-xtx.tex]] (XeTeX specific - might need a revision).
* <code>encoding=uc</code> is made obsolete: no font encoding specification is needed any mode since only Unicode font encoding is supported anyway
* <code>features=default</code> will set tex-text option, but note that that file is not present in minimals yet
* <code>[name:\typescripttwo\xetexcolon mapping=tex-text][encoding=uc]</code> should be replaced by <code>[name:\typescripttwo][features=default]</code>
* some others ...

==Using PostScript fonts== Note: It's '''not''' possible to use oldfashioned Mac resource fork fonts (where you have a "suitcase" with screen fonts) with ConTeXt! This example uses PostScript fonts installed in the texmf tree: <texcode>\starttypescript [sans] [urw-grotesk] % PostScript name file name instead of an encoding \definefontsynonym [URWGroteskT-LighNarr] [file:u004242t] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [URWGroteskT-MediNarr] [file:u004244t] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [URWGroteskT-LighNarrObli] [file:u004262t] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [URWGroteskT-MediNarrObli] [file:u004264t] [features=default]\stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [urw-grotesk] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [URWGroteskT-LighNarr] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [URWGroteskT-LighNarrObli] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [URWGroteskT-MediNarr] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [URWGroteskT-MediNarrObli] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [SansItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [SansBoldItalic]\stoptypescript \starttypescript [my] [urw-grotesk]% \definetypeface [urw-grotesk] [rm] [serif] [schola] [default] \definetypeface [urw-grotesk] [ss] [sans] [urw-grotesk] [default] [encoding=uc]\stoptypescript \usetypescript [my][urw-grotesk]\setupbodyfont [urw-grotesk,ss,8pt] </texcode> If you'd like to use active (OS-installed) fonts, replace "file:filename" with "name:public name" like this: <texcode>\definefontsynonym [Eco-Regular] [name:Eco101Roman] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Eco-Bold] [name:Eco301Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Eco-Italic] [name:Eco102Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Eco-BoldItalic] [name:Eco302BoldItalic] [features=default] </texcode> (Sample from [[http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080120.125423.babb9aea.en.html this thread]].)
