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...
Advanced stuff

TODO: continue to link with existing and up-to-date wiki material + references to manuals + improve structure (See: To-Do List) |
A little bit further
Vocabulary, What is the scope of ==> reference to manuals pages ?
- a font
- a style
- a fontfamily
- a typeface
- a typescript
- a typescriptcollection
How to work with fonts which include:
- different weights (light, extra-light, dark, extra-bold)
- different widths (condensed, expanded)
- different style (inline, shadowed, outline)
- What defines the size in a font? (2019)
- Optical Size (!!! WARNING !!! 2010 = TO KEEP OR NOT ?)
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)
- Using Font Fallbacks (and perhaps a different page for Fallbacks for math fonts)
- Creating virtual math fonts from type 1 fonts (still needed?)
Activate fonts features
- Small caps
- Ligatures (2017)
- protrusion
- 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.
- Font chapter of the reference manual
- 2001 reference manual (!!! WARNING !!! TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP)
- 2013 reference manual never officially released, with a font chapter
- the 2013 font chapter as a separate document
