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
