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 started to write my CV in LaTeX. My document begins as \documentclass[a4paper]{amsart} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[finnish]{babel} \begin{document} \begin{center} {\large \textbf{\textsc{ANSIOLUETTELO}}} \end{center} \end{document}  But pdfTeX for Mac says: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) .... LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmr/bx/sc' undefined (Font)              using `OT1/cmr/bx/n' instead on input line 6.  [1{/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] [2] (./ansioluettelomod.aux)  What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to get a ẞ in my LaTeX document. How can I do this? I already tried:   Using other fonts: dejavu and libertine Using \MakeUppercase{ß}, which sometimes produces nothing, sometimes produces "SS" Using {\sc ß}, which sometimes produces nothing, sometimes produces "SS" Using XeTeX and lualatex: Just leaves out ẞ and warns about the Glyph that it could not find Using \symbol{"1E9E}, which also produces nothing   How can I do this?

Every time I read an old math paper, I'm pretty exited about how perfectly it looks.  See , for example:    Everything, though a not-so-perfect-scan, somehow looks "real" to me. It's the little differences that I believe are important here. The not-too-perfect alignment of letters for example. Some are more up than others, some more down, even tiny bits. And sometimes, lightning and saturation is not all-too-perfect, too.  I really like the look of it, but sadly I prefer writing on a modern-day-keyboard instead of an old typewriter (mainly for software-reasons, the hardware alone would be fine). So... is there any way, just for fun, to create a LaTeX document, coming out as PDF or whatever, that, when printed, looks like that proof?  There are plus-points if it looks like a very old proof, e.g. the things Frege did in his Begriffsschrift, old-style-letters would be perfect there, but again, professional and not too oldstyle. But I couldn't easily find a picture of the Begriffsschrift online that have a high enough resolution...

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.

My friend and I are working on the same subject and I asked her to see her work. I noticed that her pdf rendering (if it's really that) is a lot different than mine even though we use the same "template". We both use TexMaker with MikTeX, hers is on Mac, mine is on Windows.   Left is mine, right is hers.     If anyone knows what cause the difference here and could help me getting the same thing that would be great.  Thank you.

What is the font that's used in Mac OS X's graphical user interface (GUI), in the menus, dialog boxes, etc.? Is it different from what was used in the classic Mac OS (i.e. OS 9 or older)? If so, what are the fonts back then? I like the font but never knew what it was. Thanks.

I'm looking at , which was closed as off-topic a few days ago. Just a few minutes ago, the OP radically revised it; it doesn't even resemble the original question anymore. In fact, the two versions only share about seven words and some punctuation. Here's a screenshot of the most recent revision:    So, the question for the community is this: Is this proper, or should it be rolled back?  Edit: I went ahead and rolled it back because it has a couple of answers already (responding to the old version). But I would still like to know the community consensus on this.

When I open a PDF in a non-Acrobat PDF viewer, they look fine, but when I open one in Acrobat, the fonts look absolutely terrible. They look very low resolution and I'm not sure how to increase them.  I've tried PDFs from internet, exporting from Word, and making LaTeX documents.  How can I correct this problem?

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?

Could someone with experience in using these exercise typesetting packages please offer a quick compare and contrast of these packages to help me choose?  Packages under consideration are:         Having read briefly the documentation, they all seem to do the same thing generally, so could you please focus on the differences?  Some differences will not be obvious until I've learnt and used all the different packages but I want to better appreciate the differences now, a priori.

I quite like the look of the font used in the code blocks that appear on Stack Overflow.    What, dear listener, is the font face used for such?

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?

If I have an Adobe Illustrator file, and I save it as a .pdf - it looks like the fonts are included in that .pdf file. (I think this because when I open the .pdf file in Reader it looks the way I expect it to.) However, when I open this same .pdf file on a different computer (or workstation) with Adobe Illustrator - Illustrator says I 'don't have the font I need'. This doesn't make sense to me because - If I can see the document correctly in reader, I would expect it to be there for Illustrator as well. Can someone explain why this is? I am asking because saving a file as a .pdf for print seems to handle most font troubles that come up - but sometimes I need to change the text in a file before I print it... I am hoping there is a way to open a .pdf so that .ai recognizes that the font is in there.  But I am unsure on the details of saving as a .pdf in Illustrator, how fonts are handled, and what is possible.

I recently came across  answer on . It appears to be written in a font designed to look like hard-to-read, old fashioned handwriting. As such, to make it easier to read, I copy/pasted it into gedit (a text editor that does not support formatting — like Notepad). To my surprise, the strange formatting stayed. Upon further inspection (i.e., Googling the most strange looking characters, noticing the year appears to be written partially normally) I came to the conclusion that they are a set of strange letter-like characters in Unicode.  My question has two parts:   Am I correct about what these characters are? If so, why does Unicode contain extra characters that appear to serve no purpose other than that of fonts?
