Is it possible to identify the font used in a specific document/picture?  Answers to this question should identify:   Possible methods to do this (perhaps one answer per method) and adequately describe how to use it (as opposed to merely stating it); Ways of finding the identified fonts, if possible (free or not); and Any prerequisites associated with the method used, if required (for example, "In order to use method X, your document has to be in format Y").   This question is meant as an FAQ, based on an . Its aim is to facilitate the community with the general procedures involved in font identification. Similar cases are solved on a per-usage basis on 's  tag.

I would change the font of section and subsection of my document. I have created it using book class. I would use this font:    According to Adobe pdf propriety, this font is AvantGarde-Demi. How can I use it in Latex. what command I should use to recreate this in latex. I think I should use titlesec package right?

I wanted to know how to set font of a document to Times New Roman and size to 12 for text and for Chapter Heading 14 only, for the whole document. I don't want to use the fontspec package for this. Please help me out on this.

I'm trying to find a good way to have the LaTex default font "Computer Modern" (CM) a bit thicker (also called "blacker"). I really like this font, especially when it comes to math mode, so answers like "Change the font." don't qualify, sorry. :) The only problem is that CM has very thin lines, so the font looks very light. There are several methods to make CM "thicker" (I'm not talking about the bold series of the font! This one looks different and is not what I am looking for.) which can be found elsewhere on tex.stackexchange:  1) Use FakeBold in XeLaTex:   2) Use pdfliteral as suggested here:   3) Use pdfrender as suggested here:   However, the answers given there don't suit here: 1) Needs XeLaTex (I only have PDFLaTex and I cannot install additional software, as I'm not a system administrator.) Results produced with 2) + 3) look very good. Actually it looks exactly like I intend it to be. However, it only looks good with certain Reader software (Evince and certail versions of Okular). With other Reader software (like other versions of Okular or even the Adobe Reader) the base line of characters is not quite the same or there are white artefacts inside the letters.  I think, the only option to resolve the problems is to create a proper font. (The solutions in 2) and 3) don't create a new font, they are hacks that manipulate the way the original CM font is displayed.) And here is my question: How do I create a "vectorbased" (not pixelbased) proper font from Computer Modern which has the same "thickness" attributes like the results obtained with pdfrender/pdfliteral in 2) and 3) ? I don't really know anything about fonts. The basic idea should be to take the original CM font and to do some adjustments to its geometry. There is a German post:    There they talk about a "blacker" parameter in a "metafont source file" of CM. However they produce a pixel-based font and I'm not exactly sure what they are actually doing there.  Upshot: I'd like to have a thick (not bold) CM-like font which looks good with any reader software and it should be usable with PDFLaTex. Thanks for your help.    To give you an impression what I have in mind: Here's a (famous) article whose "oldschool" look I try to resemble with a modified CM font:    I've magnified it and compared it with my own "pdfliteral" results and my conclusion is that it is indeed a thicker CM (probably due to the fact that it was printed and scanned afterwards as is indicated by the not quite horizontal text lines on some pages).  I now get an idea of how to clearify my question: Using METAFONT, how do I create a new font from the original CM metafont source files () but with a higher blackness parameter?

I am just curious that the following format looks good to you or not? The preamble I used is just   \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}  \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \usepackage{amssymb}   I don't feel it's so good because the first paragraph has no indent but the second does. If the first paragraph is much longer, than it's fine. But if not, it looks strange. Should I leave it, or you have suggestions for this?

I'd like to use LaTeX to typeset a novel. Could you recommend me any template?  What I mean is a template (some .tex file) where I can include my chapterN.tex files (mainly plain text) and get a pretty good design with zero work :)

I am using a LaTeX template from my university to typeset my thesis. I am making references to R and I have defined a new command with:  \newcommand{\R}{R}   in order to get the roman "R". The formatting of the thesis means that chapter titles are written in a sans serif font. When I type a chapter title e.g. "\R{} source code" it does not appear in serif, rather in the same sans serif font at the rest of the title.  Is there a way to force the "base" font to be used, regardless of which font is in use at that time?  Sorry for no minimal working example - I'm just not sure which part of the preamble causes the chapter titles to be sans serif!

This is a follow up question of .  The formatting problem has nothing to do with cleanthesis.sty.  The problem is that if I use the charter font, page numbers greater than 99 are not formatted correctly in the table of content.  \documentclass[draft=on]{scrbook} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{charter}  \listfiles  \begin{document} \tableofcontents \section{Section 1} \blindtext[100] \section{Section 2} \blindtext[500] \section{Section 3} \end{document}

I am using the book document class. I would like to have Chapter name (Interduction, Results, Discussion, ...conclusion...) to appear in every page, in the right side small vertical (color filled) box (box size, let say 3cm). So, instead of chapter name in the header or footer, I want it to keep it in right side color filled box ..... sometime we see the style in Dairy, and also in many books as well.  For the first chapter, this right side box will appear at the upper top right margin....then in next chapter the box will be little lower and will have different color.  Is there anyone who can help me on this?

I'd like to know how this text gets adapted onto these 3D models. Could it be a PNG  which gets mapped. Or is this text pre planned how it would be layout onto the model? what's the method involved in this technique? Would the text layout need to be the same ratio done with a graphic editor like Photoshop or Illustrator? and have the mesh modelled in the same metric unit so the text can later fall correctly in place? All information is appreciated, unfortunately my college instructors are really lame in giving information....  Thank you.
