If you are not using all predefined font styles, you could set your monospace, sans, serif, or whichever style you aren't using to the font you want to use and use the predefined command (e.g. \sf) to access that font. Severin On 6/13/13, Sander Maijers wrote:

I want to adjust my document to have Lucida as main typeface, but with brief passages (a few words at most) in a typeface that has the IPA glyphs like Gentium.

I've skimmed the manual and the ConTeXt garden Wiki but I do not yet understand which commands I should use where and with which options to achieve this -- preferably in a concise way.

Could someone please explain and point out what most current documentation I should read and in which order to fully understand how to work with typography in ConTexT? (Obviously I am not a typographer or typesetter, I just write documents.)

I am in a hurry now to complete my document so I would appreciate concrete hints to help with my current need. Still, I am interested to learn a lot about this functionality in the long term.

Do you know the simplefonts module ?

I had read about it some time ago, but I had not yet noticed this Wiki page : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX#How_LuaTeX_handles_system_font...

How can I select a different typeface (that can be found by simplefonts) for a specific region of text, like a few words?

Hi Sander, this an extension to my previous reply. \definesimplefonttypeface enables a typeface, instead of a font. As you might already know (and I tend to mix) Times Italic and Times Bold are two different fonts, but the same typeface. Here is another sample: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Times] \definesimplefonttypeface[mytypeface][TeX Gyre Pagella] \definesimplefont[myfont][TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] This is the standard font. But here comes {\mytypeface another {\em typeface}.} And here comes {\myfont another {\em font}.} \stopTEXpage \stoptext I guess I should wikify this. I hope it helps now, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
