If you want to experiment with fonts, or you are simply searching for that unique look of your own, check out the LaTex Font Catalogue. Nevertheless, Nimbus is still far better font type than Arial. That might depend on your system, and LaTex setup though. The dirty little secret here is that when you do this, you might not be getting the true Helvetica but rather it’s very close cousin Nimbus Sans. Please compare the sample below with Arial, and decide for yourself: For example using scaled=0.92 will give you size equivalent to 9pt. Quick note about the scaled parameter – you can use it to resize your font. How do you do that in LaTex? There is nothing simpler – just stick the following two lines in your preamble: \usepackage Sometimes you are required to use the ubiquitous Times New Roman font. Personally I think the font has it’s own unique charm, but nevertheless it is not suited for everything.

It’s the default font known as Computer Modern which was created by Yoda Donald Knuth himself. But there is another reason why it is easy to spot a LaTex document from a mile away. First of all, they do look very pretty in print since they actually use professional typesetting techniques to make the text flow nicely on the page which makes them stand out when juxtaposed against stuff generated by Microsoft Word.
LaTex documents have a very distinctive look.
