How to use one of the provided fonts: 4 steps, 10 sec.

#1. First, be aware of the 21 fonts provided.
#2. Give a name to the set of fonts you want to use and select a first font
  • Use the command \definefontfamily. Sometimes, the name of the set of font is called the "typescript identifier"
  • Let's take an example, for a Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as roman (=rm)
  • \definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][rm][refcode to the serif font]
#3. Declare it as your default font family for your document
#4. Specify the font size
  • \setupbodyfont[xxpt]


Example

  • This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    
  • And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (texgyrepagella) we obtain:
    \definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella]
    \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    


How to use more than one of the provided fonts: 1 step, 5 sec.

#1. Very similarly to above, just select a second font
  • for a Sans Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as Sans Serif (=ss)
  • \definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]
  • for a monospaced font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as TypewriTer (=tt)
  • \definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][tt][refcode to the monospaced font]


Example

  • This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    \rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\
    \ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\
    \tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\
    
  • And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (texgyrepagella) we obtain:
    \definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella]
    \definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [ss] [texgyreadventor]
    \definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [tt] [texgyrecursor]
    \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    \rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\
    \ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\
    \tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\\
