==Task== To This page describes how to map Nimbus a Sans on rm-fonts Serif font to the {{cmd|ss}} command and Nimbus a Serif on ss-fontsfont to the {{cmd|rm}} command. This page also describes how typefaces differ from typescripts.

The This example uses Nimbus Sans and , which is a GPL font. Check whether Nimbus Serif fonts are installed at your System and also recognized is available by ConTeXt. If running the following command:

does not shows you minimumThis should reveal a list similar to the following:

please visit If the instruction [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX#Building_the_font_database|how font is not shown, you might have to install fonts to MkIV]].the font, which can be found on some systems at:

/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts You do not have to may use this Nimbus fonts. For this example you can use any Unicode a different font you like. If you use different ; please see [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX#Building_the_font_database|how to install fonts do not forget to exchange the font names in the example script belowMkIV]] for details.

Regular, {\it Italic}, {\bf Bold}, {\bi Bold-Italic}, {\sc KaPiTaLe} \showbodyfont \stoptext</texcode> Both scripts (serif and sans nimbus) map the fonts names to the different (existing) font style. Usage is implemented as follows:

* The {\it Italic{cmd|setupbodyfont}} command calls the ''typeface nimbus''.* The ''typeface nimbus'' calls the ''typescript [serif][nimbus]'' for {{cmd|rm}} fonts, or ''typescript [sans][nimbus]'' for the {{cmd|ss}}fonts.

Annotations:* The first two lines say: ** We only enter unicode ** We only use unicode fonts* Thirds line (setupcapitals) say ConTeXt to use % Use the Capital Letters defined in nimbus typescript, which defines the fonts* Two scripts are defined:nimbus typeface.*# the scripts named ''[serif]\usetypescript[nimbus]'' and*# the script named ''[sans]\setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,10pt]''* Both scripts map the fonts names to the different (existing) font style.* Both definetypeface-lines define the typeface ''nimbus''. The first defines the rm-fonts and the second the ss-fonts. * setupbodyfont says to ConTeXt witch typeface to use with which parameters.

The chain starts with setupbodyfont: it calls the ''typeface nimbus''\starttext.. Then the ''typeface nimbus''# calls the ''typescript [serif][nimbus]'' for the rm-fonts# calls the ''typescript [sans][nimbus]'' for the ss-fonts.And inside these scripts the fonts are mapped to the different font styles.</texcode>
