How to use the provided fonts: 3 steps, 5 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[14pt]
    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[14pt]
    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
    




    • There is mainly 2 major kind of fonts you want to setup : serif and sans serif.
    • the command \rm , as Roman, will switch to Serif font
    • the command \ss , as Sans Serif, will switch to Sans Serif font
