How to use one of the provided fonts: 4 steps, 10 sec.
- #1. First, be aware of the 21 fonts provided.
-
- If required, you can regenerate the font database
mtxrun --script font --reload --force
- If required, you can regenerate the font database
- #2. Give a name to the set of fonts you want to use and select a first font
-
- Use the command \definefontfamily. Sometimes, the name of the set of font is called the "typescript identifier"
- Let's take an example, for a Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as roman (=rm)
\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][rm][refcode to the serif font]
- #3. Declare it as your default font family for your document
-
- Use the command with \setupbodyfont
\setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier]
- #4. Specify the font size
-
\setupbodyfont[xxpt]
To learn how to use different alternative styles of a given font, like regular / bold / italic, see the Font_Switching in the Basics.
Example
-
Let see what give the defaults:
\setupbodyfont[12pt] {The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
-
And let's add the two lines, using Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (ref:texgyrepagella):
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella] \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier] \setupbodyfont[12pt] {The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
How to use more than one of the provided fonts: 1 step, 5 sec.
- #1. Very similarly to above, just select a second font
-
- for a Sans Serif font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as Sans Serif (=ss)
\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]
- for a monospaced font, for which TeX practice is to refer to them as TypewriTer (=tt)
\definefontfamily[MyFontIdentifier][tt][refcode to the monospaced font]
Example
-
This basic input is typeset with the default font, Latin Modern:
\setupbodyfont[12pt] {\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\rm\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\rm\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ \\ {\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\ss\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\ss\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ \\ {\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\tt\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\tt\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
-
And by adding the two lines discussed above, and using the reference to Tex Gyre Pagella Serif font (texgyrepagella) we obtain:
\definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [rm] [texgyrepagella] \definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [ss] [texgyreadventor] \definefontfamily [MyFontIdentifier] [tt] [texgyrecursor] \setupbodyfont[MyFontIdentifier] \setupbodyfont[12pt] {\rm The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\rm\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\rm\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ \\ {\ss The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\ss\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\ss\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ \\ {\tt The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\tt\bf The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\ {\tt\it The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog}\\
