Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Franklin Gothic (with Linux)?

[sombrancelha]

Hello all,

How can I use the fonts Franklin Gothic Book and Franklin Gothic Heavy? I use Linux.

Thanks

If you have Franklin Gothic installed as system font, you should use the XeTeX typesetting system in combination with the fontspec package. It allows direct access to Truetype (TTF) and Opentype (OTF) fonts.

Thanks for the quick reply.

However, I'm having problems using charachters such as ã,é and ú.

I googled for support for unicode, and it says all you have to do is use utf-8, but for some reason it does not work. Building through the terminal (xelatex teste.tex) gives

Code: Select all

! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:á\enddocument not set up for use with LaTeX.

This is the file I'm trying to build:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{revtex4}

\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{color,graphicx}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\font\textfont="Franklin Gothic Demi"

\begin{document}

\textfont aaá

\end{document}

Replace inputenc by xunicode and abandon the ae package. Take also a look at xltxtra and study the manuals of all the involved packages thoroughly.
