The situation:
In my document I occasionally set terms using
\textsf{...} to visually set them apart from the surrounding text. This is different from showing emphasis, so using \emph{...} instead is not an option. It is more like a quote, but it actually is not, so using quotation marks instead of a different font is inappropriate as well.The problem:
The default fonts for my document (
\documentclass[10pt,a5paper]{scrbook}) are reported by \fontname\font as ecrm1000 for roman and ecss1000 for sans serif, the latter of which is but way too heavy, thus dragging attention.I changed the ss font by
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{cmbr} already (then reported as ebmr10), which looks much more promising, but has a slightly greater ex, which does not really look good, and trying to scale it by \fontsize{8}{9} makes it too small, not even mentioning the mess of adapting sizes for footnotes and other elements.Setting the text in ecss1000, but with
\color{grey2} (which i defined \definecolor{grey2}{rgb}{0.2,0.2,0.2} indeed) it looks tolerable for my eyes, but this can not be the final solution. For more sensitive eyes this might also be unbearable.The quest:
Is there any sans serif font that suits ecrm1000 (in terms of the height) or is there any font combination else that I could use? Or what would the proper candidate be for substituting ecrm1000, so that it matches cmbr/ebmr10?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
