Text Formatting ⇒ different font

[Nadia]

Dear all,

I just finished writing my thesis in Latex and then I realized that the pdf version of the thesis has two different fonts. How would I sort this out please.

Many thanks and best regards,
Nadia

Hi Nadia,

congratulations on finishing your thesis!

Well, you should tell us details so we could tell you the reason. Perhaps post your document preamble here. In addition you could post screenshots as attachments to show which font you mean that is wrong.

Hi Steven,

[Stefan Kottwitz]

At the end of the preamble i can see those lines for laoding fonts:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathptmx}% Times Roman font
\usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet}% Helvetica, served as a model for arial
\chapterfont{\usefont{T1}{qhv}{b}{n}\selectfont}

So you are loading the fonts Times Roman, Helvetica and TeX Gyre Heros which is similar to Helvetica. Remove what you don't need.
