[Tex/LaTex] Changing KOMA Script font family

Question

I'm using KOMA-Script and I would like to know how can I change the default font to FreeSans, or any other font-family? Also, how can I change all text to sans-serif?

Answer 1

For fonts that are packaged for use with LaTeX, the Font Catalogue usually tells you how to use them.

If you specifically want to use FreeSans (which, as far as I know, has not been packaged for LaTeX), the easiest way is to use the fontspec package and XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.

% Compile with xelatex or lualatex.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% for testing

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{FreeSans}

\begin{document}
\lipsum
\end{document}
