I am trying to find the font I saw in some lecture notes. I think they are TeX native fonts but they might as well be fonts from Latex's packages? Please see attachment. Is there a place I can find the fonts that are native to TeX, by that I mean METAFONT?

  • they don't look like the (original) computer modern fonts. key identifying points: old-style numerals (course and date), and no "fi" ligature (in "definition"). – barbara beeton May 06 '16 at 18:33
  • possibly kpfonts, which is based on palatino. There are not very many Metafont fonts other than Computer Modern. – musarithmia May 06 '16 at 18:44

    you can use pdffonts or the Properties dialogue in a PDF viewer to see what fonts are used – musarithmia May 06 '16 at 18:45
  • @AndrewCashner Thanks, I opened the pdf view properties dialogue and it worked. – Kun May 06 '16 at 18:49

    So was I right? (kpfonts/kepler, palatino, TeX Gyre Pagella, something in that category?) – musarithmia May 06 '16 at 18:51
  • @AndrewCashner I think the author used some URWpalladioL typeface. I am not quite sure though because the properties page give me many different fonts. – Kun May 06 '16 at 21:35
  • @AndrewCashner Okay, so actually there is an even easier way. I just copied a segment of the text of interest to Microsoft word, and it worked like magic.. telling me the typeface and font size. – Kun May 06 '16 at 21:39
  • The package used is \usepackage{mathpazo}. – Kun May 06 '16 at 21:48
  • @Kun, mathpazo loads the URW Palladio font family, based on Palatino. – musarithmia May 06 '16 at 21:55
