Thank you. But I still Don’t unterstand. I believe, I can write so:

\definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Palatino]
\setupbodyfont[myfamily, 10pt]

But then I have no italics, bold or small caps. When I write only:

\setupbodyfont[palatino, 10pt]

all is well. What’ wromg here?

I believe, it is possible to use in Conext the otf-fonts I have in my computer. I generated the database, the quert shows me, that the font is there, but I can not get it in my file. And when I read the chapter in the Manual or whatever I can find, I read a lot about Typescripts and unterstand absolutely nothing. I find how to make a typescript for palatino, which makes no difference, but I don’t unterstand why I shall make a typescript and how.

Is there a text which tells step by step what I have to so and why? Now the situation is: I have a lot of Fonts and can use just four. That was much easier with LaTeX…

The context suite provides the \definefontfamily command which let you select a font (the name of the font goes into the third argument) without the need to write a typescript. Below is a example where I used fonts from my ms office installation.

\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [serif] [Cambria]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [sans] [Calibri]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [mono] [Consolas]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [math] [Cambria Math]

\setupbodyfont[myfontcollection]

\starttext

{\rm\input ward }

{\ss\input ward }

{\tt\input ward }

\startformula
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\stopformula

\stoptext
