Abstract

A very common complaint from beginners to the TEX system and its derivatives is “where are the fonts?” or “am I restricted to the default font?”. In this chapter we will see first how to access different font families and within them special symbols. Moreover, we will see size-changing commands and also deal with typographical issues, which the wealth of fonts available to TEX makes necessary.
