Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ GNU Texinfo font name

[asarch]

Hi!

I just was wondering what is the name of the font used in the GNU Texinfo PDF files and also if I could use it for documents of my own.

Thanks!

Hi there,
most pdf viewers are capable of displaying the file's properties, there you should see a second tab called `fonts'.
On the console, you could use pdffonts

Code: Select all

pdffonts whatever-file-you-want-to-see-the-used-fonts.pdf

Thank you very much!

I've been checking some font names, for example, this is from the Texinfo manual in the PDF format from the server:

Code: Select all

$ pdffonts texinfo.pdf

The fact is, how would you set the same font in your LaTeX source file as the server PDF Texinfo (or even as the generated one)?
