[Tex/LaTex] How to use Roboto Condensed font

fonts

It's a very nice font and available from Google Font. Is it a way I can use it? Many tanks!

Best Answer

Download the font: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/roboto
Install it into your system.
Typeset the following using xelatex or lualatex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setsansfont{Roboto Condensed}
\begin{document}
\textsf{Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.}
\end{document}

Mini-Howto on selecting fonts with fontconfig

XeTeX relies on OS-specific libraries to load fonts. In case of Linux it is the fontconfig library. It's quite easy for basic use.

If the font is already installed in the system (and many will be), it can be selected simply by its name. You can find out the precise name to use by issuing fc-list and examining the output (perhaps with the help of grep).
If the font is not listed, it can be installed manually. Fonts can be installed system-wise or user-wise. I recommend the second way, because it does not require additional privileges and won't pollute the system directories. To install a font, simply place it in the .fonts directory in your home directory. You may need to create the directory if it doesn't exist, and you may need to enable display of hidden files to see this directory in your file manager. Once the font has been placed in the directory, run fc-cache to regenerate the font cache, then try the first step again.

EBGaramond with Monotype Garamond Bold

This example mixes EBGaramond with Monotype's Garamond in pdfLaTeX. Note that this code will not compile as written for you. You would need to substitute a suitable alternative for the bold Garamond I've used. (Or configure TeX support for it on your machine, if you have the same font.)

EBGaramond with URW Garamond Medium

Note that URW Garamond includes a restricted set of font shapes in comparison with EBGaramond. So small-caps bold will be typeset in non-small-caps upright medium, for example, as there is no medium small-caps available.

EBGaramond with Extended URW Garamond Bold

This uses fonts from garamondx which extends the URW families provided in garamond. You may wish to adjust the scaling factor, as in the other examples. Like garamond which provides the standard URW Garamond, garamondx can be installed using getnonfreefonts-sys.
