Fonts

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

NOWADAYS, IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE.

• Use fonts provided with ConTeXt

  Really the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 1 minute.

• Use fonts found on the web

  Also the basics, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 5 minutes.

• Use fonts of your Operating System

Advanced stuff

and you will switch between each other with \switchtobodyfont[notoserifscxxx] like it's done for this example of the available fonts.

You have to define "definefontfallback"

A quite complete example: Alegreya_Typescript

And to swith during

• Style_and_Color_Parameters
• \definefontfamily
• \definedfont

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