To ==Overview== 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:

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.

Annotations:* The first two lines say: ** We only enter unicode ** We only use unicode fonts* Thirds line Both scripts (setupcapitals) say ConTeXt to use the Capital Letters defined in the fonts* Two scripts are defined:*# the scripts named ''[serif][nimbus]'' and*# the script named ''[sans][nimbus]''* 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.Usage is implemented as follows:

* The chain starts with {{cmd|setupbodyfont: it }} command calls the ''typeface nimbus''. Then the * The ''typeface nimbus''# calls the ''typescript [serif][nimbus]'' for the {{cmd|rm-}} fonts# calls the , or ''typescript [sans][nimbus]'' for the {{cmd|ss-fonts.And inside these scripts the }} fonts are mapped to the different font styles.

To show how to call a typescript directly we extend ==Extension== The fonts can be changed by extending the script a litte:

Annotations:* A thrid typescript is defined named Note that ''typeface [nimbus]''* usetypescript calls the and ''typescript [nimbus]'' in which the ''typeface are different.  Calling {{cmd|usetypescript}}[nimbus]'' is definedensures that the two {{cmd|definetypeface}} commands, embedded within {{cmd|starttypescript}}, as shown above, are called: * ''typeface \definetypeface [nimbus]'' and ''typescript [rm] [serif] [nimbus]'' are two totally different things* if the ''typescript \definetypeface [nimbus]'' would not be called via usetypescript then the ''typeface [ss] [sans] [nimbus]'' would not be defined
