Post by QwareeqMathematics »

Hi Guys ;

How Could I add a lot of other fonts that \LaTeX use ? For example, New York Times Title font , Hand Writing font , ......etc.

Thx

Fonts Package

Post by QwareeqMathematics »

Code: Select all

I found this website that gives several packages for the different fonts. But , the problem when I use any package , it converts all document to that font.

How could I use these fonts for such one line only in some pages or for some paragraphs ??

You might want to read this webpage on font selection in LaTeX:

You might also want to consider using XeLaTeX with the fontspec package, which should allow you to use almost any arbitrary font installed on your system:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... /fontspec/

I know you didn't ask my opinion, but personally, I think it's bad typography to use multiple fonts in the same document, unless they're members of the same family and there is a special reason for the switch.
