change font of certain part of the text

How do I use a particular font for a small section of text in my document?

I am looking for changing the font just of a little part of my text, not a section title or anything, just some text in my document. If I use \usepackage{font} in the doc heading, then I change the whole document's font, but I only want to change the font of certain text.

How can I achieve this?

I think this is not a duplicate because its scope is if one uses something like \usepackage{gfsartemisia-euler} to load a font. The problem is that I cannot do \usepackage{gfsartemisia-euler} just locally inside the document but it must be done in the preamble. However how can I achieve that only a small section of my text is written in gfsartemisia-euler and the rest of the document including math including theorems and fancy headers just in standard font? — student, Oct 30 '12 at 10:37

You can set the fontfamily using \fontfamily{<family>}\selectfont:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathpazo}

\begin{document}
Text in Palatino

{\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont 
Text in Times%
}

\end{document}

ok, I've done it that way, but the problem I have now is:
using chancery font (which I can select for the whole document with no problems) throws me this message: Font shape T1/chancery/m/sc' undefined, usingT1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line ## ...

But as I said, I am able to select chancery font at the heading of the document for the whole of it with no problems... Any ideas?

For the rest of the document I'm using the Iwona font, which also lies in the T1 fontenc package... (or so I guess...)

sc means small caps: Chancery does not provide this shape. – Stefan Kottwitz Aug 19 '10 at 19:49
you are right... I've changed to pzc fontfamily, and all worked as expected! this things of fonts is quite confusing...
Thank you very much

Why did you put the % after "Text in Times"? – Zimano Jul 12 '19 at 13:17
