Okay, so maybe a simpler solution could be to adjust the code generated by using "palatino", "times" or "pslatex" according to the mentioned l2tabu document (shortened quote:) ------8<--------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3 Fonts [...] 2.3.1 times.sty The times.sty package is obsolete (see psnfss2e). It does set to the ``Times'' font, to ``Helvetica'', and to ``Courier''. However it does not use the appropriate mathematical fonts. What's more, Helvetica is not scaled correctly which makes it appear too big. So if you want to use the combination Times/ Helvetica/ Courier you should do this: Replace: \usepackage{times} by \usepackage{mathptmx} \usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet} \usepackage{courier} [...] 2.3.3 pslatex.sty The pslatex.sty package works internally like mathptm.sty+ helvet.sty (scaled). However, it uses a Courier scaled too narrowly. The main advantage with using pslatex.sty is that it does not work with T1, and TS1 endodings. Replace: \usepackage{pslatex} by \usepackage{mathptmx} \usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet} \usepackage{courier} 2.3.4 palatino.sty The palatino.sty package behaves like times.sty - apart from setting to ``Palatino'', of course. This is why it should not be used any more. Replace: \usepackage{palatino} by \usepackage{mathpazo} \usepackage[scaled=.95]{helvet} \usepackage{courier} --------->8------------------------------------------------------------ That would require no changes to the user interface, only to the generated latex code. mathpazo, helvet & co are part of latex since at least 2000, is that "old" enough to assume sufficient accessibility?
