Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before XeTeX and LuaTeX development. Nowadays, using fonts is simple.
Using fonts
You will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts in your input file. At the end, with one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use any fonts available on your computer.
-
Use fonts distributed with ConTeXt
- How to use the 21 provided fonts.
- These are the basics you may want to start with, in 2 or 3 steps, less than 3 minutes.
-
Use any other font
- Case 1: Quick "one shot" (< 5min.)
- Case 2: Comprehensive approach (~10min.)
The actual use of fonts within your document is detailed in Font Switching:
- how to define font size,
- how to use alternative styles like regular / bold / italic / small caps
- how to switch between serif, sans serif, monospaced, or to another fonts with \switchtobodyfont
- how to underline, strike...
Advanced stuff
The Manuals
- 2016 Fonts manual, all the details for advanced users
- the 2013 font chapter as a separate document
- 2013 reference manual never officially released, with the 2013 font chapter
A little beyond the basics
- Practical application TO BE WRITTEN (==> reference to manuals pages ? to articles, to existing pages ?)
-
- How to work with fonts which include:
- different weights (light, extra-light, dark, extra-bold)
- different widths (condensed, expanded)
- different style (inline, shadowed, outline)
- and explain the whole vocabulary
- a font
- a style switch
- a fontfamily
- a typeface
- a typescript
- a typescriptcollection
- How to work with fonts which include:
Deep dive into typescripts
- the source browser for type-imp- files.
- 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)
- Typescripts_examples (Cf Thomas Hala) and Palatino Linotype under MKIV.
- Using Font Fallbacks (and perhaps a different page for Fallbacks for math fonts)
Activate fonts features
- Small caps
- Pseudo Small Caps by Vit Zyka (2011)
- Ligatures (2017)
- Protrusion (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).
- old style numbers
- Kerning
- the source browser for s-fonts- files, that a user can run (to get an example) or use as module for own fonts
- Lua Font Goodies with examples.
- Featuresets
Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a specific zone in the wiki. Work is also need to merge content of Fonts_in_LuaTeX here.
