Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ change font with fontspec

[sudanix]

Hello,

I have a problem in changing my article font.
I want to use Consolas font, its installed in my Windows.

here is the tex file:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Consolas} 

\begin{document}

hello,
How i can load consolas font ?
the font is installed in my system, and i can use it from other software.
Thanks.

\end{document}

i got the error:

Couldn't find `Consol.cfg'

miktex-maketfm: No creation rule for font Consolas.

! Font \zf@basefont=Consolas at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or insta
lled font not found.
\zf@fontspec ...ntname \zf@suffix " at \f@size pt
\unless \ifzf@icu \zf@set@...
l.5 \setmainfont{Consolas}

?

How can i solve this problem?
I use Miktex 2.8 , and i compiled it with XeLaTeX.

Thanks in advance.

1. Double-check if Consolas font resides in C:\Windows\Fonts, along other fonts.

2. After that try loading another font present in Fonts folder instead of Consolas in your code (which works fine on Linux, btw) and see if it works.

Are you sure you're compiling with XeLaTeX? Those errors look like the kind you get if you try compile a fontspec document with regular latex.

If you wanted to stick with regular latex or pdflatex, consider the inconsolata package, which provides a font that is almost indistinguishable from Consolas, if I remember what consolas looks like anyway.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{inconsolata}


\begin{document}
\ttfamily

@ meho_r :
I checked again , and i found it in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts .
and i try to use another installed font (Calibri) but i get the same error !
but its work fine for some fonts..


@ frabjous:
yes im sure, and i should use XeLaTex because my article will contain non-latin sentence.

Any Suggestions ?

Thanks for helping.
