latex使用各种系统字体

问题描述

我们在使用latex写文档时，一般会使用中英文的默认字体，但是在某些特殊需求下，我们可能需要变换使用下其他字体，通常系统一般自带了很多字体，关于有哪些字体，可以打开Word，打开其中的字体选项，下拉列表中那么多，我们如何在latex中也很方便地使用，看下面

解决方案

首先确定一下你本机上存储字体的文件夹，然后查看你相中字体的信息，以Ubuntu为例，查看字体信息如下：
otfinfo -i /usr/share/fonts/TTF/FreeSans.ttf
输出如下：

Family:              FreeSans
Subfamily:           Regular
Full name:           FreeSans
PostScript name:     FreeSans
Version:             Version 0412.2268 
Unique ID:           GNU: FreeSans Normal: 2012
Manufacturer:        GNU
Vendor URL:          https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/
Copyright:           Copyright 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 GNU Freefont contributors.

使用上述结果中的Full name即FreeSans在latex文档头中进行设置，例如：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,kantlipsum}
\setmainfont{FreeSans}
\begin{document}
\kant[1]
\end{document}

关键在于使用正确的字体名来设置你的latex文档头

当然，你也可以从网上搜索下载喜欢的其他字体，使用上述方法，在latex中使用该字体。
