Installing the fonts on Debianįirst you have to decide if you install the fonts to TEXMFLOCAL or your home directory. But again, this is up to your decision.įrom now on I assume that you have purchased the Adobe Garamond family include Expert Font Set. Garamond would qualify with a few options. You need to make sure that the font you like has proper math support.
Of course you can choose to convert otf fonts, but you might come into license hell by this, unless you are a lawyer and can read the small print. In fact, if you don't have more needs it might be even much cheaper to get the fonts in type1 format instead of otf, but I have not experience with that. That is well documented and clearly explained. If you will be using latex based on pdftex and not luatex or xetex engines, you need the type1 fonts. distribute nice-looking versions from your own web site.submit the same article with a public fonts to arxiv.
print your articles with the commercial fonts.So you are out here if you use commercial fonts. Ok, I try to give as many answers as possible: Decide if you need it and can use itĪs you already know, ArXiv does not accept pdfs created from latex code. I'll just revert back to the default font when I upload it there.Įdit: Apparently OpenType should be the way to go, even though they are harder to use in pdflatex. But tell me what you think about that.Įdit: I am well aware that does not accept proprietary fonts, but not putting my thesis there is not an option. I'd be more than happy to offer as much of my current reputation as I can to such a person. I truly believe that, if one such person would accept to make a comprehensive and detailed walkthrough, it might be one of the most useful post around. I could not find an A-to-Z method to install fonts and use them in LaTeX for a Linux distribution, but I've seen many topics in SX where people display a great knowledge of those things. How should one deal with mathematical expressions? Possibly: which alternative fonts should one use? Usually, I would just go for trials and errors but as I have to purchase first, it doesn't seem to be the best option. Most threads in SX typically only focus on very specific parts of the process, and it's extremely confusing.
how to install the font (either as it is or via a conversion).Also, are Type1 fonts extracted somehow from OpenType as good as native Type1 fonts or is there a quality loss?ĭepending on the answer(s) to the previous question: On the other hand, Type1 is what LaTeX natively uses (but I do not know how to handle it). OpenType is totally fine for XeLateX, from what I understand, thanks to fontspec. Given the circumstances, should I go for: thesis, which I would like to upload on once finished.
Now, I'm thinking of two different uses for the font: However, I simply cannot switch permanently for LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX (but I can however use them, if it's not too involved, for CV and letters), ConTeXt being even less suitable. Many "easy solutions" I have found involve switching to XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX or ConTeXt. You see, there is a constraint: as I'm using, I'm somehow stuck with LaTeX (pdfLaTeX). For the record, note that I am working under Debian and I'm not at all used to handling fonts. Many people ask questions about using fonts in LaTeX, and I've spend many hours (really) searching for a bulletproof and up-to-date method to use them. Note that focusing on this particular font makes sense to me, as it is one of the most discussed font around. However, given its cost, I would like to make sure that I make the right choice of format, and that I will be able to use it without problem in my documents. thesis (more about this in a minute) and, as I truly love Adobe Garamond, I would like to use it.
