i am writing thesis and need to have separate font (Calibri-like) for title page. How to change font family (for example, to "Allerta") for one page only?

    Often one makes the title page inside a special environment (you show now code, so I have no idea what you are actually doing). Since envs form groups, any changes to fonts etc inside this env stays inside this env. – daleif Nov 05 '20 at 09:13

    Does this answer your question? How do I use a particular font for a small section of text in my document? – Sam Nov 05 '20 at 09:19
  • I tried this and it seems to work: {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont VILNIUS}

    The next question is where to find font codes?

  • What do you mean by "font codes"? – Sam Nov 05 '20 at 09:47
  • I ment Family -> Font Name. I have alrady found this list: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25249/how-do-i-use-a-particular-font-for-a-small-section-of-text-in-my-document May be the is moe extensive list to find "Windows Calibri" analog? – Jonas Klimantavicius Nov 05 '20 at 09:51
  • If you’ve set up a command to use your font, such as completing the command \newfontfamily\allerta{ in Fontspec, you can write \clearpage\allerta ...\clearpage\normalfont. If you wanted things like the header and footer to also change font, that would be slightly more complicated. – Davislor Nov 05 '20 at 17:57
  • I’m not completely sure what you’re asking, though. Could you give a brief example? – Davislor Nov 05 '20 at 17:59

As far as I understand your issue, you want to be able to use any font, not only the fonts provided with the default TeX distribution.

You can easily achieve this by loading the fontspec package and using XeLaTeX as your compiler. You can now download the fonts you like from places like Google Fonts, DaFont, and others and add the font files to your project. In the example below, I downloaded the Roboto font from Google Fonts and added the files into a fonts/ directory in my project.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lipsum}


\newfontfamily{\mycustomfont}{Roboto}[
    Path            =   fonts/,
    Extension       =   .ttf,
    UprightFont     =   -Regular,
    BoldFont        =   -Bold,
    ItalicFont      =   -Italic,
    BoldItalicFont  =   -BoldItalic
]


\begin{document}


\section{Introduction}
\lipsum[1]


{\mycustomfont \lipsum[1]}


\lipsum[1]


\end{document}

Note that you could use the Calibri font if you have it installed on your system. Just make sure that you have the correct licenses to use the font. All you need to do is to add the absolute path to the fonts directory on your machine to the Path = <path> entry inside the \newfontfamily command.
