LATEX Font Guide

LATEX font guide

Carleton College LATEX workshop

LATEX interacts with fonts diﬀerently than most software you are accustomed to. It does not natively support using system fonts; you can’t just choose Comic Sans from a drop-down menu and use it in your document. (This is probably for the best.) Nevertheless, LATEX does support a variety of fonts. This document will showcase a few that are of high quality and have excellent math support.

Using a font in your document

To use one of these fonts in a document using one of the Carleton templates, go to the preamble and look for these lines: % The Latin Modern font is a modernized replacement for the classic % Computer Modern. Feel free to replace this with a different font package. \usepackage{lmodern}

To switch to a diﬀerent font package, just replace lmodern with the name of that package. (It is very important not to load multiple font packages; they can conﬂict and cause strange behavior.) For example, to us the kpfonts package, you should replace the third line of the above with the following: \usepackage{kpfonts}
