First, have a look at the 21 provided fonts and their "nickname":

  • Latin Modern: latinmodern modern,latin-modern, modernvariablelight
  • Tex Gyre
    • pagella ➔ palatino
    • termes ➔ times
    • heros ➔ helvetica
    • bonum ➔ bookman
    • scholas ➔ choolbook
    • adventor ➔ avantgarde
    • cursor ➔ courier
    • chorus ➔ chancery
  • DejaVu : dejavu and dejavu-condensed]
  • Gentium : gentium
  • Antykwa Poltawskiego : antykwa-poltawskiego
  • Antykwa Toruńska: antykwa-torunska


How to use one of the provided fonts

#1. Declare the font you want to use for your document with \setupbodyfont
  • \setupbodyfont[thefontnickname]
#2. Specify the font size
  • \setupbodyfont[xxpt]

To learn how to use different alternative styles of a given font, like regular / bold / italic, see the Font_Switching in the Basics.

Example

  • Let see what give the defaults:
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    {The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    
  • And let's add the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font:
    \setupbodyfont[pagella]
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    {The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    

How to use more than one of the provided fonts

#1. Very similarly to above, just add more font in your font family.
  • 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]
  • for a math font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as MatheMatics (=mm)
  • \definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][mm][refcode to the math font]
  • the limit is that in TeX practice, we only have one roman, one sans serif, per font family.
  • in order to use more (like variation condensed, extralight etc...) we have to define other font family (MyFontIdentifier-condensed, MyFontIdentifier-light)

Example

  • This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:
    \setupbodyfont[12pt]
    {\rm    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\rm\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\rm\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    \\
    {\ss    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\ss\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\ss\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    \\
    {\tt    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\tt\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\tt\it 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}\\
    {\rm\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\rm\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    \\
    {\ss    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\ss\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\ss\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    \\
    {\tt    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\tt\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
    {\tt\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
