This question is connected to this question of mine. The font used in those books is very similar to the default serif font of latex, that is using utf8 encoding characters. Below I am showing you an image of a word in the book,

enter image description here

And using the default, I got this,

enter image description here

So, what should I do to get the former font?

    utf8 is not a font, but an encoding. – Bernard Aug 09 '21 at 07:53
  • Yes, thanks @Bernard. Can you edit the question please? – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 08:38
  • Try the package mlmodern, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/596861. – gernot Aug 09 '21 at 08:39
  • I've modified your post, but I'm not sure it's correct: I supposed you didn't specify any particular font, i.e. you were using the default. If it's not correct, you can edit your post to make it right. – Bernard Aug 09 '21 at 08:43
  • "Using the default" you got something, but you haven't shown any code so I can only guess: I'd say it's the same font in both pictures. The second one uses probably \huge, and you played with the magnification such that the two pictures are the same size. The \huge font looks then lighter, as it is supposed to do. But again, no code... – campa Aug 09 '21 at 08:47
  • @campa You can check it yourself, see the fonts in the book through the links and compare it with the default one. – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 08:51

    If you have the book you can get the exact list of fonts used from the pdf reader font menu – David Carlisle Aug 09 '21 at 09:11
  • @David Carlise I have tried many ways, but I did not get the result, may be I could get the font, then, what to write in code in latex(and that also did not helped)? And font may not support LaTeX, and there is many questions... – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 09:19
  • if you use lualatex or xelatex you can use any system font, so if you showed the fonts used someome could help – David Carlisle Aug 09 '21 at 09:35
  • @David Carlisle I dont know if this is what I should do or not. I uploaded the image in font squirrel and got this. – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 09:53
  • no that is just guessing. If you have bought the book and have the pdf you can get the exact font list from the pdf using say pdffonts utility or the acrobat reader fonts menu – David Carlisle Aug 09 '21 at 09:59
  • @David Carlisle sorry sir I was unable to do. But, I want to use the font 'symbola' detected by the font squirrel. I even downloaded and uploaded the ttf file, I don't know what to do further. How can I use that font throughout the document? – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 10:50
  • I still believe that the book uses just standard Computer Modern fonts. Probably a KoMa class, given the sans-serif section titles. I precisely get your pictures by looking at \normalsize at 750% magnification, and at \huge at 400%. Larger fonts in CM are lighter by construction. – campa Aug 09 '21 at 10:50
  • as campa says it is probably computer modern (or latin modern) that the book is using but if you want symbola use lualatex and \usepackage{fontspec}\setmainfont{symbola} is all you need – David Carlisle Aug 09 '21 at 10:56
  • @campa could you show the probable font you got, and write some code in answer? – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 11:22
  • What is the name of the book, please? – Sebastiano Aug 09 '21 at 11:32

    @Sebastiano Go through the link in the question – DlIfE Aug 09 '21 at 12:10
  • @DlIfE I have seen the pdf. All the fonts are CM and Sans Serif font. – Sebastiano Aug 09 '21 at 12:28
