Text Formatting ⇒ Garamond font in LaTeX?

[ffarr]

Hello, can I use "Garamond" font in LaTeX? If not, how can I use Do I need to install special packages?

I use this:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\cambiaFont}[2]{{\fontencoding{T1}\fontfamily{#1}%
\selectfont#2}}

And in the text i just need to put:

Code: Select all

\cambiaFont{put}

Put is the font code. "cambiaFont" is just the name of the new comment, in Italian is "change font".

Thank you!

Hi,

I would use mathdesign together with Garamond this way:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[urw-garamond]{mathdesign}

Hi Stefan, one question: will it change the font of the whole text?
If not: how can I change the font of the whole text with one command in the preamble?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

This will affect the whole document. Specifically, all serif (roman) text will be changed, both in text and math, the latter by the mathdesign package.

Other font families, such as sans serif text and typewriter text will not be changed.

Ok good, thank you. I believe I need to download the package, because it doesn't do the pdf anymore. Where do I get it?

Hi,

I recommend to check first if the package can be installed by your package manager. This can be mpm (MiKTeX), tlmgr aka TeX Live Manager (TeX Live) or a OS package manager (such as with Linux).
Usually you can find the package manager in the start menu.
