[Tex/LaTex] How to set not italic or not bold

fonts

It is well known that you can make the font italic or bold using \textit{} or \textbf{}. However, if I have an italic or bold font, what command can I use to make it nonitalic or nonbold?

Best Answer

You can use \normalfont

\documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
 \textit{Some italic and {\normalfont non italic} text}

 \textbf{Some bold and {\normalfont non bold} text}

 \emph{Some italic and {\normalfont non italic} text}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Italic/bold font in Lyx

Opening the font in Font Manager it appears that the Oxford font does not have bold and italic features -- these show as being provided by the rendering library, as opposed to being provided by a font file. I would guess that LyX just fakes these features in the editor view.

As you yourself mention in a comment, fontspec (the package that handles loading of True Type and Open Type fonts) can fake these features, by adding to the preamble

\setmainfont[AutoFakeBold,AutoFakeSlant]{Oxford}

Note that you have to use the XeTeX engine for this to work (at least the fake bold), so use View --> View (Other formats) --> PDF (XeTeX), and the equivalent for updating. This does not work with the LuaTeX engine.

[Tex/LaTex] How to make a vector bold and italic inside an equation

You could use the bm package and its command \bm. One of the very nice things about this package is that \bm works equally well on letters and symbols; thus, one doesn't have to remember to use \mathbf on letters and \boldsymbol on symbols. Another nice aspect -- especially useful for your setup -- is that you get bold-italic rather than bold-upright output.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bm}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\bm{F} = k\bm{x}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
