Font handling in ConTeXt is “strange” for LaTeX users. It's a system of abstraction and aliases, complex and mighty … But there's help:


Configuration

  • Using psnfss metrics in ConTeXt
  • Matt Gushee about virtual fonts
  • Fonts rely on Encodings and Regimes, and it helps to know what happens underneath the hood, from time to time.

  • Don't forget to look at cont-sys.tex!
