Hi fouad,

welcome to the board!

for example write the first paragraph with a " times new roman" font, the second with "arial", the third with " courier new"

those are truetype fonts. I guess you've quoted them because you've meant a serif font, a sans-serif font and a monospaced font. The standard font used by LaTeX is Computer Modern, some commands to change the font typeface are

• \rmfamily - switch to Roman (serif)
• \sffamily - switch to Sans Serif
• \ttfamily - switch to Typeweriter (monospaced)

10x for answering.
i know that.
can u give me plz an example of a code.
Can i write like this in the winshell window:
/rmfamily

/rmfamiy

Hi fouad,

you could just try.
Or compile this document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
hi all

\ttfamily
hi everyone

\sffamily
hi everybody

\rmfamily
good bye
\end{document}

Use the backslash \ instead of / at the the beginning of commands.
