[Tex/LaTex] Fonts for Mathematics and Text

book-designexamplesfontsmath-modeunicode-math

Are there some examples of long, real-world documents showing the variety of text and mathematical fonts now available? With unicode-math there are now many more fonts for text and mathematics, both commercial and public-domain, than before. It is easy enough to find short examples, but what I would like to see would be different versions of a long document (e.g., an article or chapter from a book), with each version set in a different font (e.g., Lucida, Minion-Math, Latin Modern, Tex-Gyre, Mathtime, etc).

This type of question seems to come up frequently in this forum and others and I will answer it myself. However, I would also like to see other examples too.

I have posted several versions of a couple of book chapters at the following website: http://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/gv219/aofd/fonts/ There you will find the same 100-plus page document typeset with Lucida, Minion-Math, MathTime, Cambria, Tex-Gyre and others. Comments, and other examples, would be welcome.

Also, as an update, for the final version of the book I ended up using Minion for text, Cronos for sans serif, and Minion-Math for math, and you can see this at http://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/gv219/aofd

[Tex/LaTex] Use TeX Gyre fonts with latex+dvips+ps2pdf

I've now solved the problem with adding auto-pst-pdf to the code

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage{fontenc,unicode-math}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\setmathfont[Ligatures=TeX]{TeX Gyre Pagella Math}
\begin{document}
Test in Pagella

\[\sum_{k=1}^n k=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]
\end{document}

And compiling it with lualatex -shell-escape file.tex produces the following out put containing just TeX Gyre Pagella and TeX Gyre Pagella Math.

Screenshot of correct result

Great thanks to @egreg for providing this hint.

Improved due to @Ulrike Fischer's comment

There is obiously no way to solve the problem as I wanted, so I edited my code once again

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{fontenc}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setromanfont[Ligatures=TeX]{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}
\setmathfont[Ligatures=TeX]{texgyrepagella-math.otf}
\begin{document}
Test in Pagella

\[\sum_{k=1}^n k=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]

\begin{pspicture}(3,3)
  \psline{->}(1,1)(3,2)
  \psline{->}(1,1)(3,1)
  \rput(2,2){$x$}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Processing it with xelatex file.tex produces the wanted PDF-file, containing the TeX Gyre Pagella and Pagella Math

Thanks to @egreg and @Ulrike Fischer for their hints. More improvement is welcome, I think there's a lot to learn for me.

[Tex/LaTex] Using multiple system fonts

If you just want chunks of text to be a different font you can simply set up environments for them using whatever semantics makes sense for your document. The main thing to remember is that you should use \newfontfamily to define a font switching command for each font rather than using the \fontspec command directly. For example:

% Compile with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}

\newfontfamily\calibrifont{Calibri}
\newfontfamily\cambriafont{Cambria}
\newfontfamily\georgiafont{Georgia}

\newenvironment{calibri}{\calibrifont}{\par}
\newenvironment{cambria}{\cambriafont}{\par}
\newenvironment{georgia}{\georgiafont}{\par}

\begin{document}
\begin{calibri}
This text is in Calibri
\end{calibri}
\begin{cambria}
This text is in Cambria
\end{cambria}
\begin{georgia}
This text is in Georgia
\end{georgia}
\end{document}
