I know this question has already been answered here
How do I use a particular font for a small section of text in my document?

I understand that in order to use additional font with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX one can choose to proceed with: 

\newfontfamily\myfont{font name}

then defining a command

\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textmyfont}{\myfont}

then using the command

Text in the default font. \textmyfont{Text in the new font.} Again text in the default font.

But what if I want to have multiple fonts throughout my document? How do I specify the use of a specific font I load with one \textmyfont command? How will it know which font to choose out of many I loaded?
Say, I loaded three fonts:

\newfontfamily\myfont{font1}
\newfontfamily\myfont{font2}
\newfontfamily\myfont{font3}

how would I modify \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textmyfont}{\myfont} command to recognize each font separately? \myfont2 and \myfont3 is not working! And then how would I use the actual \textmyfont command to reference a specific font to a specific part of the text?

    if you want three font families you should give them different names, but don't use numbers, they are not allowed in command names, use letters, eg. \newfontfamily\myfontA{font1}, \newfontfamily\myfontB{font2}. – Ulrike Fischer Mar 28 '22 at 09:14
  • Then I define \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textmyfont}{\myfontA} command to recognize myfontA but the command \textmyfont stays the same. If I put it before some text, the command will choose myfont instead of myfontA. So how would I modify the actual command? Or I can rename \textmyfont command to anything I want like \textmyfontA? – tryingout Mar 28 '22 at 09:23
  • yes, you can also define \textmyfontA. – Ulrike Fischer Mar 28 '22 at 10:04
