Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before (2013 / 2015 ?) and LuaTeX development.

Nowadays, Fonts are a piece of cake

#1 Use fonts provided with ConTeXt

Really the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 1 minute.
#2 Use fonts found on the web

Also the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 5 minutes.
#3 Use fonts of your Operating System

Few preliminary commands, then it's as easy as #2

Deep dive into typescripts
- Alegreya Typescript: a quite complete example (2019), MkIV for the Alegreya fonts by Huerta Tipográfica / Juan Pablo del Peral, downloadable from Google Fonts.
- Summary of experiences of three Fraktur (2019)

Font chapter of the reference manual
- 2001 reference manual (!!! WARNING !!! TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP)
- 2013 reference manual never officially released, with a font chapter
- the 2013 font chapter as a separate document

I just have realised that \definefont requires fontname of font not identifier neither familyname.
