I've been using the pxfonts
package to typeset my document since I liked the look of the text fonts. I now have cause to use the fontspec
package but now my favoured pxfonts don't load. I'm getting the LaTeX warning that it is substituting "EU2/lmr/m/n" for "EU2/pxr/m/n".
I suspect the issue is that I'm too new to fontspec
and don't know what I'm doing. (Also using LuaLaTeX for the first time, but I think that's not so much the cause of the problem.)
What's the right way to load these "pxr" fonts using fontspec
?… Clearly the pxfonts
package is not it. (I will have a very small amount of maths also, so I'll need the relevant maths fonts loaded too.)
Sorry if this is well trodden ground – I looked at other questions that arose when I searched for "pxfonts fontspec" but I couldn't make enough sense of what was being said to answer my question.

pxfonts
is not “officially” deprecated, but it is so “typographically”, because there are several flaws in its design. Such flaws have brilliantly been fixed by Michael Sharpe who provided the packagenewpxtext
andnewpxmath
instead.However,
newpxtext
isn't compatible withfontspec
, because it's based on “classical” 256 slot fonts.You can obtain a very similar result using
newpxmath
for math fonts and a Palatino based text font:
