Changes

Either way, ConTeXt will use fonts properly stored in its tree structure (for example, any fonts you would have downloaded from [https://www.fontsquirrel.com Fonts Squirrel] [https://fonts.google.com Google Fonts], or see [[Available Free Fonts]]).

** People who handle a lot of fonts can be more structured by using *: <code>tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/truetype/vendor/fontfamily</code>.

:* MAC: <code>export OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts/;:/System/Library/Fonts;:$HOME/Library/Fonts</code>:* GNU/LINUX: <code>export OSFONTDIR=$HOME/Library/Fonts/;.fonts:/Systemusr/Libraryshare/Fonts;$HOME/Library/Fontsfonts</code>

;2. Run ConTeXt to index the files:* update of and the file databasefonts : <codetexcode>mtxrun --generate</code>:* update of the fonts database: <code>mtxrun --script font --reload</codetexcode>;3. Check by looking for the specific font you want to use next:* a very . A common example :<codetexcode>mtxrun --script font fonts --list --file all --pattern=*helvetica*</codetexcode>

Let's take a an example: we want to use [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Serif Noto Serif].

It not, you have to download and store it first. The Google website provides a zip file with the 4 alternative variations (Regular 400, Regular 400 italic, Bold 700, Bold 700 italic).

; #1. Store them is in a dedicated folder [[#Fonts location on your computer|indexed by ConTeXt]].

:*run <code>mtxrun --script font --list --file -pattern=*noto*</code>:. You should obtain something like<texcode>familyname weight style style width variant fontname filename subfont fontweight

notoserif bold bold normal normal normal normal notoserifbold NotoSerif-Bold.ttfnotoserif bold bold italic normal normal normal notoserifbolditalic NotoSerif-BoldItalic.ttfnotoserif normal italic normal normal normal notoserifitalic NotoSerif-Italic.ttfnotoserif normal normal normal normal normal notoserif NotoSerif-Regular.ttf

; #3. Your You are done! You can use the font anywhere in your input files with {{cmd|definedfont}} :* and it's good to add <code>*default</code> to enable benefit from default features, like for example [http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf#&#91;169,{%22name%22:%22Fit%22}&#93; kerning].

* It's not nice to have to write \definedfont[filename:YourSuperFontyoursuperfont-WeightStyle weightstyle*default at xxpt] each time you want to use a particular font. * That why it's worth defining a '''typescript'''. It's just 3 steps, and less than 5 minutes. Then, you will be able to easily switch between fonts with {{cmd|tf}}, {{cmd|it}}, {{cmd|bf}}, {{cmd|bi}} (see [[Font_Switching#Font_styles_and_alternatives|Font styles and alternatives]]), and all the typesetting of your document will use a consistent set of fonts.* [[Typescripts_examples| Many typescripts are ready ]] for use on usual free and commercial fonts, and obviously for the [[ConTeXt_distribution's_Fonts|ConTeXt distribution's Fonts]].

; #2. The boring step, define the links between ''[https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/a0270f13065d116355a953c6f246cbba26289fc2/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-sel.lua#L514 ConTeXt basics names]'' and the ''People-readable names''.

\setups[font:fallback:serif] % security: if not found==> bask back to defaults% \definefontsynonym[ConTeXt bascics basics name] [Human readable] [features=default]

You will probably want to use your new customized typescript definition across different documents, so you have to install them in the distribution. Here is , we remind the definition.:

# Save your file as <code>type-(fontname|foundrysome-name-you-like).tex</code>, for example here <code>type-mynotoserif.tex</code>

# You are It's done!Now, two lines at the beginning of any input will declare to typeset with the new fonts:<texcode>#* you can add \usetypescriptfile[mynotoserif] at % this is the beginning 'some-name-you-like' part of any input filethe saved filename#* and \setupbodyfont[mynotoserif] will declare % this is the first argument to \definetypeface</texcode> ====Note:==== The naming convention for typescript files has changed in LMTX <blockquote> There has been a change in the naming of typescript file, a simple <code>"type-"</code> prefix isn't anough anymore, you have to change it to <code>"type-imp-" </code>(e.g. type-imp-sourceserif.tex) to typeset with your new fontbe found by ConTeXt. Valid file extensions for a typescript file in LMTX (and MkIV) are "tex", "mkiv" and "mkxl". Wolfgang [20 Dec 2020]</blockquote>  [[Category:Fonts]]
