1: I would like to use the document font (Helvetica, phv) in the minitoc.

2: I would like to increase the width of the minitoc so as to reduce the occurrence of line wraps, such as the one that appears in the fourth minitoc entry.

I could not find these answers in the minitoc documentation.

Thank you.

Hi Kurt,

if I add this to your code, everything is in Helvetica (phv):

\renewcommand{\familydefault}{phv}

Thanks for posting code! I and every reader who likes to make a suggestion that works, has to add by himself:

It would be easier for readers to post a compilable code (complete, small), it improves the chance to get a working answer.

Thanks!

Hi, Stefan.

The document included the command \renewcommand{\familydefault}{phv}, before I posted my message, yet, minitoc did not use this font.

I added the command \usepackage{helvet}. This did not remedy the situation. I have removed it, for now.

The document contains over 3,300 lines, and, is growing rapidly. I will attempt to abbreviate it for posting in this thread. In the mean time, do you have other suggestions? Also, what are your thoughts on widening the minitoc width?

Regards,

Kurt

Hi Kurt,

it should not be hard to cut down a copy of the document, removing like 95% of actual text to just keep preamble, structure, dummy filler text, as long as it is compilable and produces the wrong output. Otherwise it's hard to guess what in the document causes it. I posted 9336 answers here with solutions, that's only possible when I can test code quickly to propose a fix.

Hi, Stefan.

I am providing an abbreviated version of my document.

Thank you.
