I am trying to find the font I saw in some lecture notes. I think they are TeX native fonts but they might as well be fonts from Latex's packages? Please see attachment. Is there a place I can find the fonts that are native to TeX, by that I mean METAFONT?

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.

Is there a general way to change the font of a particular symbol without switching packages?  For example, suppose I'm using Computer Modern for my entire document, but I want the "subset" operator to look as it does in mathabx.  How can I redefine it to appear in this way?

I've been using LaTeX for about 3 months, and I'm hooked. My background is programming, so for the basic, google is sufficient. I did some research on amazon.com and found these two books with many positive feedback:    However, most of people said they are more like references than a real book. And if they really are, then I think I'd rather look up at CTAN. What I'm looking for is a book that can teach me how to program in LaTeX, for example:   Write my own package   Create animation  Create and using macro in LaTeX ....   I know there are many options around, however to pick the right one is not an easy task. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm currently writing a user guide containing a lot of keyboard shortcuts. I'm looking for a "keyboard" font where single characters or special keys (like tab or backspace) appear like the "real" key (i.e. with a box around; hope you get the idea).  Is there any package available for this or do I have to wrap one of the existing PS/TTF Fonts?

I am trying to customize  document, it's a CV template for XeTeX. What I'd like to be able to do is change the main font. I belive the section of the code I need to change is this:  %FONTS \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text} \setmainfont[SmallCapsFont = Fontin SmallCaps]{Fontin}   I downloaded and installed Fontin just to be able to see the document in its original form before trying to customize it. It works fine.  Now I need some other fonts to try, and I can't figure out how to find out the font names I could use. I tried a few well-known names like Times and Verdana, these fonts were not found. Also tried some font names I have found in different documents and webpages, eg. Cambria, TeX Gyre Bonum, Lucida Grande, which were rejected because either they were not found or their names contained an illegal character: a space. (Which pretty much stunned me since the fontspec documentation is full of multi-word font names...)  The documentation on the fontspec package (v2.1e 2010/11/17) doesn't help me much. All it says about this is "TODO: add explanation for how to find out what the font name is."  So how do I find the names of the fonts I can use?    Edit: I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with the latest TeXlive 2010 from tug.org.

How do I get straight quotation marks, i.e., " and ' in TeX?  (No, \verb changes the font and this is unacceptable.)  [Edit]  I forgot to mention that I’m using XeLaTeX, and fontspec is a necessity.  The first two proposed answers did work, without fontspec.

Does anybody know how to make the following symbol in LaTeX? I think it is some calligraphic \mathcal{E}.     It is not anywhere in  and online font recognizers do not recognize it.   The general font in the book I got this symbol from, Introduction to Quantum Optics by Grynberg, is not very extraordinary: this is a formula containing the strange symbol:

When I compilethis MWE:   \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \begin{document} Test $x_\mathit{in}$ \end{document}   ...it works perfectly with latex and pdflatex. If I try to use htlatex on it, it chokes:   ! Argument of \new:mfont has an extra }. &lt;inserted text&gt;                  \par  l.7 Test $x_\mathit{                     in}$   What am I doing wrong?   (BTW: if someone can point me to a comprehensive document about htlatex, please do... my google-fu is quite low today).   EDIT I discovered that if I write:   ...$x_{\mathit{in}}$    (with the extra set of braces) it works. But I am still wondering why...  This is standard (distribution-provided) full LaTeX installation in Ubuntu 14.04.

Can someone identify the fonts used in the words "nature methods" in the following image?    I think that the word "nature" is in Times or Times New Roman (?) but can't figure out what font the word "methods" is in.  Any ideas?

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that I cannot obtain non-integer (or non-preloaded) font sizes (say, 9.876pt) using \fontsize.  If this is true, how do I do this in LaTeX?  Do I have to resort to the \font ... at ... primitive?  (The reason I need this is that I'd like to implement a more LaTeXy way to do the \diminuendo macro from .)

I am using the pdfpages package to include some other PDF documents into a LaTeX document I'm processing with pdfLaTeX.  One of the included PDFs has some uncommon fonts.  They are embedded in the original PDF, and show up fine when looking at the document in Acrobat (Reader or full).  However in the final processed document, certain glyphs do not show up in Acrobat.  pdffonts shows that all of the fonts used in the original PDF are also embedded in the final PDF from the processed LaTeX. The problem is occurring with both TeX Live 2007 on a Fedora 16 box and MikTeX 2.9 on Windows 7.    Any idea what's going on here?

I want to use the  font in my pdfLatex document.  What steps should I do for using a downloaded font   Should I download the TTF or the OpenType version? Where should I store the font? Should any font processing be done? How can pdfLatex find this font?   I am using TexLive 2011 installed in a custom location (/somepath/texlive/2011) on Ubuntu

I looked around but did not find that anyone has asked this before, but what are the fonts that are standard/recommended while writing academic reports/papers?

One of the annoying aspects of LaTeX is the limited number of fonts that come by default, and the pain involved in making new fonts 'LaTeX' ready. I have a collection of truetype fonts that I'd like to prepare for use, and I definitely want to make sure I have vector versions of these fonts (i.e not type 3/bitmapped versions). Is there a relatively painless way to do this ?

I have the following LaTeX-document:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel}  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  \title{Sample} \author{Litb}  \begin{document}  \maketitle  \begin{abstract}  This is a report about my praxis phase at the company foo bar which I enjoyed. \end{abstract}  \end{document}   Much to my frustration, compiling with pdflatex creates a document with Bitmap-fonts. The reader's font-list shows that it uses Type3 fonts.  If I remove the fontenc loading, then I get a PDF using vector-fonts, but I heard that I should keep it, for having native German Umlauts working.  Does anyone know how I can get vector fonts with T1, and why it keeps using bitmap fonts if I have that package-load line in it?

I like the ProggyClean fonts a lot and would like to see them in my terminal. The "True Type Font" versions aren't great, but the bitmap (raster, *.fon) fonts are excellent. This should be a virtue since the Linux fonts are all raster as a matter of course.  I think the Linux font format is PSF2 (among others?) and is detailed here: .

Given a directory of font files (TTF and OTF) I'd like to inspect each font and determine what style (regular, italic, bold, bold-italic) it is. Is there a command line tool for unix flavored operating systems that can do this? Or does anyone know how to extract the metadata from a TTF or OTF font file?
