Garamond kills bold Fonts

Post by ChelseaBoot »

I have a feeling that this involves some combination of \renewcommand but I think it is best to have the advice on this forum. When I use Garamond fonts, everything becomes immediately lighter, in particular the \begin{description} … \end{description} parts.

With Garamond:

Code: Select all

 \documentclass[10pt]{book}

\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage{garamond}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction and Ideas}
\begin{description}
\item[Item 1]
\item[Item 2]
\end{description}

\section{More Ideas}

\end{document}
Without Garamond:

Code: Select all


\documentclass[10pt]{book}

%\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
%\usepackage{pslatex}
%\usepackage{garamond}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction and Ideas}
\begin{description}
\item[Item 1]
\item[Item 2]
\end{description}

\section{More Ideas}

\end{document}
