LaTeX font identification

Question

I've been struggling with identifying this beautiful font

From the properties of the Pdf file I think it's Arial ! and I found in some forums this it's a commercial font and the good alternative is helvet (I am using Ubuntu) ! But After compiling, it doesn't look the same !

Here are the list of fonts that the Pdf shows :

I thought it's Arial because it's the font dominating ! but I think I was wrong, how can I have that font in LateX ?

Answer 1

I think it is cmbright. Here is the output of the same text above.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage[margin=1.2in]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage{cmbright}
\begin{document}

\lettrine[lines=2, findent=3pt, nindent=0pt]{S}{}mart 
devices are rapidly emerging as popular appliances with increasingly powerful computing, networking, and sensing capabilities. Perhaps the most successful examples of such devices so far are smartphones and tablets, which in their current generation are far more powerful than early personal computers (PCs). One of the key differences between such “smart" devices and traditional “non-smart" appliances is that they offer the possibility to easily incorporate third-party applications through online markets (Figure 1.1 depicts such differences)\footnote{here}.

Answer 2

Maybe it is cmbright: g and o correspond:

Answer 3

Looks like standard computer modern. But sans serif fonts are not always easy to differentiate.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\sffamily
devices are rapidly emerging as popular\\
networking
\end{document}
