Hi Mattias (please, excuse my previous misspelling of your name),
here you have it:
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][TeX Gyre Heros]
\definefontfamily[mainface][tt][TeX Gyre Cursor]
\definefontfamily[mainface][hw][Lucida Casual]
\definefontfamily[mainface][cg][Lucida Casual]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\doloopoverlist{\rm,\ss,\tt,\hw,\cg}
{{\recursestring%
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.\par}}
\stoptext
Lucida Casual is handwriting and calligraphy in the sample. But you only
need one of them.
I hope it helps,
Pablo

Consdidering that either way, iow. both for Markdown or org-mode, I bet that some work is to be done on the exported markup before producing PDF, I wonder if you write/tweak ConTeXt markup in Emacs?

I can imagine, but I've a long way before mastering ConTeXt...still I'm confident that for producing a book it is better option than fiddling with LaTex - I did two books long ago using it along with LyX - but for preparing the content, it could be easier to do it using markdown/org-mode.

Hi Matthias, With a relatively recent version of ConTeXt (LMTX or MkIV), the following should work: \definefontfamily[myserif][rm][Lucida Casual] \starttext The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \setupbodyfont[myserif] The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \stoptext This is the easiest way to access it.

[NTG-context] Best way to access casul fonts
Hi, I'm trying to access Lucida Casual. I see in type-imp-lucida-typeone.mkiv that there is, indeed, a typescript for it, but I can't figure out how to switch to it. That is, I want to make some text be Lucida Casual. I gather from a previous thread that I should be using \definefontstyle, but I don't know how to go about this. Currently I'm just defining a new typescript and making Lucida Casual a synonym for Serif and then using \switchtobodyfont --- but this feel silly. I searched the wiki and skimmed the reference manual, but to no avail. Perhaps I don't know what I should be looking for. Any help would be appreciated. What's the easiest way to access a casual font? What's the cleanest way?

[NTG-context] Fwd: Lucida-1.901 (2023-01-21) available
https://tug.org/pipermail/lucida/2023-January/000921.html A new version (1.901) of the Lucida OpenType fonts from TUG is available. As with previous updates, there's no additional charge if you've already purchased licenses; you can use the same download information sent to you at the time of purchase to get the new fonts. (If you've lost the download info, you can email us at lucida-admin at tug.org.) I will append the changes for this release. The same information is also online at https://tug.org/store/lucida/NEWS.txt. To summarize, the most significant changes have been to the math fonts, especially the regular-weight LucidaBrightMathOT. Many of these changes were discussed in greater detail in the recent article about Lucida math by Hans Hagen and Mikael Sundqvist: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb43-3/tb135hagen-lucida.pdf The four Lucida Sans fonts and the three specialized fonts (Blackletter, Calligraphy, Handwriting) are not changed at all from the last release (not even version numbers or dates). All other fonts were changed. On behalf of TUG, I thank Hans, Mikael, and Michael Sharpe, who among them did essentially all of the technical font editing for this release. And we must thank Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes (they approved this release, as always), without whom nothing could be done. Bug reports and character/feature requests are welcome (email to this list is best), though, as usual, we cannot promise any particular timeline for the next release. Happy typesetting, Karl [Berry] ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
