Using fonts with TeX was once a Jedi fight, before (2013 / 2015 ?) and LuaTeX development.
Nowadays, Fonts are a piece of cake
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 of available on your computer.
-
#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
The actual use of fonts within your document are details 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...
