What is the accepted, clean way of causing a LaTeX document to consistently use a Sans Serif font? Most of the users here are happy with the Roman type face produced by LaTeX. One user however strongly prefers a Sans Serif typeface. This user is not particularly sophisticated so what I'm looking for is a simple directive or two that will cause his documents to consistently use this type of font. By consistent I mean the the \em directive will use a slanted SS font, section headings will be in SS, footnotes will be set in a small SS font and so on. I'm aware that this *might* be very ugly but in the interests of giving this user a chance to decide for himself... The \sf directive at the beginning of the document will cause the standard body type to be SS but everything else uses the Roman typeface. In my attempts to achieve this goal it appears that I have been lead to hack at the individual style files which doesn't seem quite right. I've looked at lfonts.tex but I'm not sure where to proceed there either. Has anybody solved a similar problem? If so I'd like to hear from you. Thanks, - Keith F. -- Keith R.
