  • the command \rm, as Roman, will switch to Roman font
  • the command \ss, as Sans Serif, will switch to Sans Serif, font


  • Give a name to the font you want to use for both with Command/definefontfamily
    • \definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][rm][refcode to the serif font]
    • \definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]
