This page is a draft (currently kind of a personal notebook) which I hope will evolve into some kind of beginner's guide to understanding what's going on in ConTeXt as far as fonts are concerned. Currently I can hardly understand anything about it, but I keep on asking on the mailing list;) (Consider reading: * http://archivecontext.contextgardenaanhet.net/threadsvn/contextman/context-reference/20080304.225545.5990b35d.en/co-fonts.html) and Ipdf - Chapter on fonts* [[A Beginner'm going s Guide to post Using Fonts in Mark IV]]. The idea is that the answers herepage says ''how'' to easily use fonts (or rather typescripts) in Mark IV, so that you just take a ready-to-use recipe from there and paste it into your document.

<cmd>usetypescriptfile</cmd> loads a given file (<code>[[source:type-gyr.tex|type-gyr.tex</code> ]] in this case). This file usually contains definitions of ''typescripts''. The core typescript files (such as [[source:type-tmf.tex|type-tmf.tex]], [[source:type-one.tex|type-one.tex]] in pdTeX or [[source:type-otf.tex|type-otf.tex]] in LuaTeX/XeTeX, ...) are already preloaded, so you would usually need this only to load your own definitions. <code>\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]</code> will soon become obsolete (TeX Gyre will be the default). <cmd>usetypescript</cmd> kind of "selects" (?) the specified typescript from that file. It takes up to three parametres and their rôles are still cryptic to me...
