[Tex/LaTex] What’s the internal font name of the Kp-Fonts

fontskpfonts

I have checked thekpfonts.sty: 

\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{jkpss\kp@petitesmajuscules\kp@flig\kp@style}

It seems that this name jkpss\kp@petitesmajuscules\kp@flig\kp@style is not correct. So what's the real name of this font?

So how to invoke Kpfonts as a second font?

Best Answer

As I already commented, the low level names of all Kp-Font variants are documented in the manual. But I must admit, that this may be hard to understand.

So I thought, I should show some examples here. Regarding your question in comments see at the end.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{lmodern} % "Latin Modern" as default font set

\newcommand*{\testfont}[2]{\textsf{#1 (\texttt{#2}):} {\fontfamily{#2}\selectfont

code output

For your document you should define one or two commands depending on, what you like better. I will use here the basic Kp-Font roman, as seen above it is jkp:

  • A switch similar to \rmfamily or \bfseries: \newcommand{\kproman}{\fontfamily{jkp}\selectfont}, but then you have to set it in a group. Compare what I did in the example inside of \newcommand*{\testfont}.

  • Similar to \textrm or \textbf a grouping command: \newcommand{\textkproman}[1]{{\fontfamily{jkp}\selectfont#1}}, note the doubled braces for the grouping.
