[Tex/LaTex] How to change the text font without changing the font for equations

fontsmath-mode

How to change the text font in a document to "Times" and keep the font for equations unchanged (i.e Computer Modern)?

Best Answer

One thing I like to do, which might be related to what you want, is to put this in my header:

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptm}

It changes all my body text to Times, but is not the same as

\usepackage{times}

because it doesn't change the typewriter font to Courier, and it doesn't change the sans-serif font to Helvetica; it leaves both of those as the standard Computer Modern versions.

Probably the most common solution at present using free fonts is mathptmx

\usepackage{mathptmx}

This package supersedes times and mathptm.

The commercial mathtime is available in a 'lite' version in a free (cost) package, but you need to pay for the full version. See http://www.pctex.com/mtpro2.html

As noted in the answer by mafp, the newer newtx bundle is now available and addresses issues present in mathptmx.

Package hfoldsty contains:

\RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}

Then LaTeX uses the EC fonts without other font settings (8-bit version of the standard CM fonts). Install cm-super to get the vector fonts (Type 1) of the EC fonts. Bitmap fonts (PK fonts, Type 3) are resolution dependent.

Alternatively you can load the more modern LM (Latin Modern) fonts that are derived from the CM/EC fonts:

\usepackage{lmodern}
