Quick use of a new font

Let's take a example, we want to use Noto Serif. The google website enable us to download a zip file with the 4 alternative variations (Regular 400, Regular 400 italic, Bold 700, Bold 700 italic).

#1. Store them is a dedicated folder
  • create a "Noto-serif" in the ConTeXt distribution tex/texmf-fonts.
  • unzip and store the .ttf file in tex/texmf-fonts/Noto-serif/.
#2. Regenerate ConTeXt databases
  • the file database: mtxrun --generate
  • the fonts database: mtxrun --script font --reload
  • and check the situation mtxrun --script font --list --file -pattern=*noto*:
familyname   weight   style    width    variant   fontname              filename                   subfont   fontweight

notoserif    bold     normal   normal   normal    notoserifbold         NotoSerif-Bold.ttf
notoserif    bold     italic   normal   normal    notoserifbolditalic   NotoSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
notoserif    normal   italic   normal   normal    notoserifitalic       NotoSerif-Italic.ttf
notoserif    normal   normal   normal   normal    notoserif             NotoSerif-Regular.ttf
#3. Your are done! You can use the font anywhere in your input files with \definedfont
\definedfont[file:NotoSerif-BoldItalic at 12pt]
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Use of the different font variations


#1. Define a new typescript in your input file, with \starttypescript.
  • Define the links between filenames and People-readable names with \definefontsynonym.
  • In this example, the typescript is called "mynotoserif".
\starttypescript [mynotoserif]
% \definefontsynonym[Human readable]       [file:filename without extension]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Regular]    [file:NotoSerif-Regular]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Italic]     [file:NotoSerif-Italic]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Bold]       [file:NotoSerif-Bold]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [file:NotoSerif-BoldItalic]
\stoptypescript
#2. The boring step, define the links between ConTeXt basics names and the People-readable names.
  • It's good to add a fallback.
\starttypescript [mynotoserif]
  \setups[font:fallback:serif]          % security: if not found==> bask to defaults
% \definefontsynonym[ConTeXt bascics name] [Human readable]       [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[Serif]                [NotoSerif-Regular]    [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic]          [NotoSerif-Italic]     [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBold]            [NotoSerif-Bold]       [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic]      [NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [features=default]
\stoptypescript
#3. Define the pack of the 4 variations as the roman typeface of the typescript "mynotoserif" 
\starttypescript [mynotoserif]
  \definetypeface [mynotoserif]    [rm] [serif] [mynotoserif]    [default]
\stoptypescript
#3. You are done! Finally, we have the following input file
\starttypescript [mynotoserif]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Regular]    [file:NotoSerif-Regular]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Italic]     [file:NotoSerif-Italic]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-Bold]       [file:NotoSerif-Bold]
  \definefontsynonym[NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [file:NotoSerif-BoldItalic]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [mynotoserif]
  \setups[font:fallback:serif]
  \definefontsynonym[Serif]                [NotoSerif-Regular]    [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic]          [NotoSerif-Italic]     [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBold]            [NotoSerif-Bold]       [features=default]
  \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic]      [NotoSerif-BoldItalic] [features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [mynotoserif]
  \definetypeface [mynotoserif]    [rm] [serif] [mynotoserif]    [default]
\stoptypescript

\setupbodyfont[mynotoserif]
\setupbodyfont[12pt]
{    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
{\bi The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\

And it gives:
