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 it possible and furthermore constructive to make LaTeX automatically format specific words in specific way? Let's say, for example, I'd like to have every occurrence of the word "hello" in a bold cyan monospaced font, whereas the rest of the document remains normal, sans serif and black.   How can I achieve that without having to do a search&amp;replace to place "hello" into a custom command every time before I compile the .tex file?

If you were asked to show examples of beautifully typeset documents in TeX &amp; friends, what would you suggest? Preferably documents available online (I'm aware I could go to a bookstore and find many such documents called 'books'). Extra bonus for documents whose LaTeX source is available.  This is not an idle question. Seeing great examples of any craft is both educational and inspiring, let alone explaining why we prefer TeX to Word or other text editors.  For instance, I like how Philipp Lehman's  looks. I don't know enough LaTeX to realize how much customization was done, but the ToC looks polished.  Your nominations, please ...

In mathematics, I sometimes encounter Gothic letters, I mean the letters $\mathfrak A, \mathfrak B, \mathfrak C, \mathfrak D, \dots, \mathfrak a, \mathfrak b, \mathfrak c, \mathfrak d, \dots$.  To get them in $\LaTeX$ one would use $\mathfrak{A}$ etc.  For example, in the book Model theory by Chang and Keisler, structures are denoted $\mathfrak A = (A, \dots)$, $\mathfrak B = (B, \dots)$ and so on.   I would like to know how to write this by hand.

The unique style of the diagrams at  has an informative but nice hand-drawn touch. I guess they are actually drawn by hand but just recently on our partner site for Mathematica someone asked how to draw a similar diagram such as this one with Mathematica's plot functions ().    Now without Mathematica this should be possible as well but I have a hard time getting the details right. Can such a diagram be created in TeX with a similar design? My first attempt does not look particularly great but here it is (the font is from ):      \documentclass{standalone}     \usepackage{tikz,color}     \usepackage{pgfplots}     \usepackage{fontspec}     \setmainfont{Humor-Sans}      \begin{document}     \begin{tikzpicture}     \pgfplotsset{every axis/.append style={line width=1pt}}      \begin{axis}[%         axis x line=bottom,         axis y line=left,         xtick={1.2, 2.9, 4.5},         xticklabels={-3 days, -1 day, 5 minutes},         yticklabels={}     ]     % 1st plot     \addplot [cyan!80!white, samples=200, domain=0:6] {0.05*rnd+3+(sin(deg(x))^2)/sqrt(x)*exp(-(x-2))};     % white background for 2nd plot     \addplot [white, samples=200, domain=0:6,line width=4pt] {0.05*rnd+0.4*x+2+x^2*sin(deg(x))^2*exp(-x)};      % 2nd plot     \addplot [red!80!white, samples=200, domain=0:6] {0.05*rnd+0.4*x+2+x^2*sin(deg(x))^2*exp(-x)};      \end{axis}       \node at (2.7,4.6) {downhill};     \draw  plot[smooth, tension=.7,line width=2pt] coordinates {(1.2679,5.5206) (1.9454,5.493) (2.4017,4.9261)};      \end{tikzpicture}      \end{document}

Does anybody know how I can get exactly that symbol for the set of real numbers in LaTeX?   Additional image:    In this picture you have the symbol for the set of integers, real numbers and complex numbers. I think this must be a package.

Are there any  professional alternatives  to TeX/LaTeX which produce equal or even better typesetting? Maybe expensive commercial ones. The software counts if it is comparable or superior to LaTeX (with microtype) in typesetting text or math (or both). In any case, please mention both aspects in your answer.  I am only aware of ConTeXt (which is partly based on TeX).  Note that I am not looking for an alternative for my personal use, I am just asking out of curiosity.

thanks for your help in advance. I was wondering how to use the mainfont type for some features in the math environment. For example, let's say I'm using "font A" which I've uploaded using some otf file for the text and for math environment I'm using default LaTeX math font. While font A doesn't have greek letters, I'd still like to use it for the math environment when feasible (for example, letters of the alphabet and words like "max," "lim," etc.) How can I get my math environment to use font A for this but default math environment for the items that aren't accounted for in font A?  (Disclaimer: I know people will say you shouldn't mess with fonts/math environments like this, and I generally agree, but choosing not to do something and not being able to do it are separate things--and I'd still like to know how!)

What is the easiest way to make a cursive, lowercase ell in LaTeX math mode?

Browsing through a copy of Counterexamples in Analysis (Gelbaum  &amp; Olmsted), I'm quite enjoying the typeface used for 'script' letters (see links to examples below); visually it's somewhere between what I'd now call calligraphic and fraktur, and semantically it's used where now we'd use mathcal, mathfrak or mathbb.  I was therefore procrastinatiously looking for a LaTeX-usable font to include these characters, but couldn't seem to find any. I'm certain they're not unique to this text or publisher, so figured my lack of success was probably more to do with searching with the wrong keywords. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful.

I draw figures in Inkscape. When I label elements within the figures with variable names that I have used in the underlying TeX document, I would like them to look exactly the same as in the document. (e.g. l does not look the same as $l$)  What is the name of the math mode font so I can select it correctly in the Inkscape font list?  If the exact font should not be available, what is a similar looking font that is present on most systems?
