Finding standard Latex font names may be less than trivial at times. See here for basic information: http://tug.org/pracjourn/2006-1/schmidt/schmidt.pdf For the family names of the standard postscript fonts, look at table 3 in the following doc: ftp://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf For the TeX Gyre fonts, you should use their own docs. For instance, Pagella's name should be qpl (not tested). In general, TeX Gyre fonts come with their own latex packages that simplify their use. For instance, pagella can be used by loading the tgpagella package in your preamble (instead of using the \rmdefault command) : \usepackage{tgpagella} Hope it helps, Stefano -- __________________________________________________ Stefano Franchi Associate Research Professor Department of Hispanic Studies Ph: +1 (979) 845-2125 Texas A&M University Fax: +1 (979) 845-6421 College Station, Texas, USA [email protected] http://stefano.cleinias.org
