Sans Serif font

Post by Noobix Cube »

Hey can anyone recommend a really good sans serif font that is a standard package for a MikTex compiler?

Take a look at the TeX Catalogue and the fonts that are provided [1]. I guess you will find a suitable font for your document. If you could formulate your ideas more concrete, we may be able to do some suggestions.

Depends a little bit on the font package. For example, using cmbright it's enough to include the package to have the whole document with a sans serif font. It is not recommendable to write a whole document with such a font, except presentations.
