Re: [XeTeX] default fonts for text and math in xelatex (ubuntu, texlive 2011)
Hello Ross,
thanks for the explanation - it is much clearer now.
I am able to list all fonts on ubuntu with *fc-list* command.
How should I know which of them supports math fonts and which of them is
monospaced (like Courier New)?
Regards,
Peter

0
The superscripted 2 .
which really shows what fonts are used. As far as I understood well, words
changed, back as normal are set with LMRoman10-Regular-Identity-H
(Latin Modern as you wrote). \mymono changed this is with mono to DejaVu
Sans Mono.
But what font is used for $E=mc^2$? Is it CMMI10,CMR10 and CMR7? Where
can I get more info about these fonts?
Why isn't the the equation written in DejaVu Sans Mono as defined with
\mymathmono?
Because anything written in math mode obeys a different set of typesetting
rules to what is used in ordinary text. This involves spacing, positioning
and sizing of super- and subscripts as well as choice of font face for each
class of character or symbol. This is what makes TeX output look so much
more attractive than what any other software produces.
To change things, you'll need to study the mathspec or unicode-math
packages, if I've got the names correct. Otherwise study the LaTeX
Companion, for ways to handle Math Alphabets using non-XeTeX methods, which
should still work, but with a limited range of fonts.
Kind regards,
Peter
Hope this helps,
Ross

[XeTeX] default fonts for text and math in xelatex (ubuntu, texlive 2011)
Hello all,
what is the default font setting for text and for math in xelatex?
what is loaded if no font is defined before \begin{document}?
I would like to change the default math font to monospaced in ubuntu (using
texlive 2011) then change it back.
Thanks for the help in advance.
peter

For text it's Latin Modern.
You can check the fonts used with the pdffonts utility (from xpdf package).
With given \pagestyle{empty} you can exactly determine which fonts are used for
which kind of text or which kind of mathematical expression. Since XeTeX can
use TFM files I am pretty sure that it simply uses the usual Computer Modern
fonts.
