[NTG-context] How to use fonts without typescripts?

Hi,

Defining typescripts to use a font is very painful. How can I use a font
without using a typescript?

Use \definefontfamily which is essentially the successor of the old
simplefonts module.

\definefontfamily [windows] [rm] [Times New Roman]
\definefontfamily [windows] [ss] [Arial]
\definefontfamily [windows] [tt] [Courier New] [features=none]
\definetypeface   [windows] [mm] [math] [termes] % use \definetypeface 
to load a math font

\setupbodyfont[windows]

\starttext
\showbodyfont
\stoptext

If you just want a very small amount of text in a different font you can use:

\definefont [useWarningFont] [name:arialbold*default at 22pt]
\starttext
This is the regular body text font but {\useWarningFont BE AWARE} that others can be used.
\stoptext
