Hi Uwe, Thank you for getting back to me. I'm sorry if if my inquiry sounds stupid. (I will concede that it is mildly dense.) Even so, I'm trying to track down which fonts the different packages use without making any modifications. I know that it is very easy to change the font to an alternative either using a package, or if you use xetex, through fontspec.
But, not all of the classes use Computer Modern as the default typeface. (Yes, the majority do). The Tufte classes, for example, make use of Palotino/Helvetica/Bera Mono. For nearly all of the other classes I'm compiling a summary for: standard classes, AMS-LaTeX, Memoir, Beamer, Tufte, etc. I have been able to find an explicit reference that says, "The default typeface is computer modern." I have not been able to find this reference for KOMA, and it makes me uneasy to say it without an host of references to back it up. Google has been essentially worthless for tracking the information down. This is what prompted by original question to the group. > The default font is ComputerModern as described in the LyX UserGuide. I appreciate this pointer. I finally got frustrated and compiled a sample document and then hacked it open. The embedded fonts were cms (computer modern sans) and cmr (computer modern roman), just like the standard documents. This evidence, taken with what you've offered, make me comfortable that computer modern is indeed the default. Is there anyone who's had a contrary experience? Cheers, Rob
