Section headers in Century Gothic, text in Garamond

Question

I'm trying to comply with the following graphical profile in a LaTeX2e document. Ideally, I'd like to specify all these things in a package, which I can then import to instantly comply with the specifications.

Header 0 (document title): Century Gothic Bold, 20 pt, caps
Header 1: Century Gothic Bold, 16 pt
Header 2: Century Gothic, 14 pt
Header 3: Century Gothic Italic, 12 pt
Text: Garamond, 10 pt
Captions: Garamond Italic, 12 pt

I've been looking around to find a way to use the Century Gothic font in LaTeX, but found nothing useful. The only examples I've found require XeTeX, which I don't know and would like to avoid having to learn just for this.

How do I implement these specifications using LaTeX2e?

(Importing more packages is of course completely OK, as long as they are publicly available.)

Answer 1

Assuming you have these fonts installed on your system, by far the easiest way to do this is with XeLaTeX. There is very little to learn about XeLaTeX; it's just regular LaTeX with one package (fontspec) which allows you to load any font on your system. The rest of the problem simply reduces to using a few regular packages to specify the various element formats.

% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX      Must use XeLaTeX to compile
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode  File must be encoded at UTF-8
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{caption}
% commands from fontspec
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
\setmainfont{Garamond}
\newfontfamily\headingfont{Century Gothic}
% commands from titlesec
\titleformat*{\section}{\headingfont\fontsize{16}{18}\selectfont\bfseries}
\titleformat*{\subsection}{\headingfont\fontsize{14}{16}\selectfont}
\titleformat*{\subsubsection}{\headingfont\itshape}
% commands from titling
\pretitle{\begin{center}\headingfont\fontsize{20}{24}\selectfont\bfseries\MakeUppercase}
\posttitle{\par\end{center}\vskip 0.5em}
% commands from caption
\DeclareCaptionFormat{plain}{\fontsize{12}{14}\selectfont\itshape#1#2#3\par}
% regular make title commands
\title{A title}
\author{An author}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{A section}
Some text.
\begin{figure}[h]
A figure.
\caption{A figure caption}
\end{figure}

\subsection{A subsection}
Some more text.
\subsubsection{A subsubsection}
Some more text.

\end{document}

I'll leave putting this into a package as an exercise. (See the clsguide docmentation for all the basics.) I've also added semi-arbitrary values in the second argument of the \fontsize commands; you should adjust them to what you require.
