If required, you can [[Mtxrun#= Using fonts| regenerate the font database]]:<code>mtxrun --script font --reload --force</code>=
= #1You will find here the preliminary steps before actually playing with the fonts in your input file. How At the end, with one or two commands, you will make your document enable to use the any fonts included by default in the distribution =available on your computer.
There is mainly 2 basics fonts you want to setup : serif and sans serif.
* TeX practice refer to first one as '''Roman=Serif''' and '''Sans=Sans Serif''.
* the command \rm, as Roman, will switch to Roman font
* the command \ss, as Sans Serif, will switch to Sans Serif, font
# Give a name to the font you want to use for both with [[Command/definefontfamily]]
#* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][rm][refcode to the serif font]</texcode>
#* <texcode>\definefontfamily[MyFontFamilyName][ss][refcode to the sans serif font]</texcode>
