Hi,
Would somebody explain me in detail, how I can use for example typeface
Times New Roman instead of Computer Modern? Which command to use and
how? I need syntax in detail. Descriptions are obscure for me. I need
codes in detail for fontnames too.
Best regards,
Istvan

Also see http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf for
details about how to switch to other fonts.

Hi,
Ok, I have seen showfont.pdf, and have tried
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtotypeface [times] [12pt,rm],
and they work. But what are [rm], [encoding=ec] and why is included
[times] twice? I do not understand the syntax. I have seen both
mfonts.pdf and mtexfont.pdf, but I have found nothing, which would form
the basis for start. Of course I have seen cont-enp.pdf too.

This is the basic syntax of "using" a typeface (defining typefaces is
different).
\definetypeface [name of typeface] [style] [font style] [font name]
[special mappings] [extras]
You can give anything as the name of the typeface. In the above
example it is times. When you switch to that font, you need to use the
name of the typeface. So you could have also done
\definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtobodyfont[mainface, rm 12pt]
The style (rm), and font style (serif) are needed for internal
purposes. This is telling context that times is a serif font
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif) and it will be used as the roman
(rm) style of the typeface. Other options are sans serif
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif) used as sans-serif style,
which is indicated by [ss] [sans].
The special mappings tell context if something special needs to be
done for that font. I have only seen this being used for math fonts.
In other cases you can leave it to default.
The extras specify, encoding, scaling, (and in case of math fonts, the
text typeface in math operators). In the above, encoding=ec tells
ConTeXt to use ec encoding (also called cork encoding)
see http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/Encodings.html#Encodings. The
more commonly used encoding with context is texnansi (also called
LY1).
