[Tex/LaTex] How to set default monospace font for \texttt{} in LuaLaTeX

fontstypewriter

I am able to set default text font using \newfontfamily\mainfont{}.

Here is an example.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\mainfont{DejaVu Sans}
\begin{document}
Foo
\texttt{Bar}
\end{document}

How can I similarly set the default monospace font that is used for text rendered with \texttt{}?

Read the main part of fontspec documentation. At page 7, you find

So you should do

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{DejaVu Sans}
\setmonofont{Libertinus Mono}[
  Scale=MatchLowercase
] % or whatever font you prefer

\begin{document}

Foo
\texttt{Bar}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Conflict between color, graphicx and libertine

These option clashes happen when a package is requested to be loaded on two different positions, like by you and inside another package, but with different options. The package is loaded by the first \usepackage (or its twin \RequirePackage); it isn't loaded again when it is requested again. It simply can't be loaded a second time. Therefore the new options can be activated and previous options might conflict with the second usage. So LaTeX creates an error to report this issue to you.

The way to fix this is to declare the options beforehand using \PassOptionsToPackage{<options>}{<package>}. Then they are used wherever the package is loaded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
    \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames}{color}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{libertine} % most likely loads 'color' itself
    %\usepackage{lmodern} % doesn't load 'color'
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
    %\bye
\fi
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I can't test it by myself, because I don't have the libertine package installed.

PS:

I don't think you need to set pdftex manually. Normally packages do a good job recognizing the driver by themselves. Also you might want to use the extended xcolor package instead of color.

[Tex/LaTex] Font substitution with XeLaTeX

As Andrey points out, the key is the concept of "interchar tokens". Suppose you have some CJK characters that doesn't appear in the normal font and you want to use another for them; say that the characters are U+4E01 and U+4E02.

Then the following will do:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{<a font>}
\newfontfamily{\JapSubstFont}{<another font with the missing chars>}

\XeTeXinterchartokenstate=1
\newXeTeXintercharclass\JapSubst

\XeTeXcharclass"4E01=\JapSubst
\XeTeXcharclass"4E02=\JapSubst

\XeTeXinterchartoks 0 \JapSubst = {\begingroup\JapSubstFont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks 255 \JapSubst = {\begingroup\JapSubstFont}
\XeTeXinterchartoks \JapSubst 0 = {\endgroup}
\XeTeXinterchartoks \JapSubst 255 = {\endgroup}

Each time that a character in the \JapSubst charclass will be at the start or end of a "word" or be preceded or followed by a "normal" character, it will be typeset in the \JapSubstFont.

One can also specify a range:

\count255="4E01
\loop\ifnum\count255<"5000
  \XeTeXcharclass\count255=\JapSubst
  \advance\count255 by 1
\repeat
