How to use only serif fonts in whole document?

Question

I'm wondering how to use only serif fonts in whole document. Remark: I use one of the KOMA Script document classes, which employ sans-serif fonts for chapter and sectioning headers.

I've managed to change the table of contents with KOMA, but e.g. setkoma commands won't work for all the headings.

This is my main document:

\input{chapter/header}
\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}
\makeindex
\makenomenclature
\begin{document}%
\begin{spacing}{1}%Normal Spacing
\renewcommand*{\theHchapter}{0.\arabic{chapter}} %so that no double Chapter I (prob with hyperref)
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{-1} %No number in front of Chapter
\maketitle
\clearpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\hfill
\clearpage
\input{chapter/Declaration}
\clearpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\hfill
\clearpage
\input{chapter/Abstract}
\clearpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\hfill
\clearpage
\renewcommand*{\theHchapter}{\arabic{chapter}} %so that no double Chapter I (prob with hyperref)
    %TOC etc.
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4} %Numbers in front of Chapter etc
\setcounter{tocdepth}{4} 
\pagenumbering{Roman}

This is my header.tex:

\documentclass[a4paper,%
                            english,%
                            numbers=noenddot,%not 1.1. but 1.1 (früher: pointlessnumbers)
                            oneside,%
                            bibliography=totoc,%früher: bibtotoc
                            listof=totoc,%früher: liststotoc
                            %draft
]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\pdfoutput=1
\pdfcompresslevel=9
%\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{bmp}{}{}            %see epslatex.ps
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.png,.jpg,.mps} %see epslatex.ps
\graphicspath{{bilder/}}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}%zuständig für umlaute und scharfes s (ß)

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — Stefan Pinnow, Mar 07 '18 at 14:56
Are you looking for the document class option egregdoesnotlikesansseriftitles? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 07 '18 at 15:01
Please don't remove your code. You might consider editing it to make it more minimal, but deleting it now you've got an answer is just destructive. — cfr, Mar 08 '18 at 04:28

To make all the headings "no sans serif" - or for short "serif" - there is a special documentclass option:

\documentclass[egregdoesnotlikesansseriftitles]{scrbook}
\begin{document}
\chapter{test}
test
\end{document}

Update for koma v3.39 or newer

The option now has the boring name sfdefaults=false:

\documentclass[sfdefaults=false]{scrbook}
\begin{document}
\chapter{test}
test
\end{document}

@StevenB.Segletes no :) easy to remember name, don't you think? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 07 '18 at 15:04

@StevenB.Segletes you have to be really annoying to make a package author add such an option:-) – David Carlisle Mar 07 '18 at 15:04

@campa please direct your complains at egreg :) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 07 '18 at 15:09
It worked! Tried to do it beforehand, but it completly changed the documents format ... . Thank you so much! Wasted hours on this – mldmnn Mar 07 '18 at 15:14

I suspect that the option "egregdoesnotlikesansseriftitles" was, until now, the most obscure and/or least-documented of all options of the koma-script document classes. No more! :-) – Mico Mar 07 '18 at 15:14
Why did they choose this name? Quite hard to remember imho ... – mldmnn Mar 07 '18 at 15:16

Everybody should know egreg. The rest is intuition. – AlexG Mar 07 '18 at 15:18

@mldmnn I guess the name was chosen because of this comment: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/289853/why-does-koma-script-mix-serifs-and-sans-serifs#comment701328_289853 – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 07 '18 at 15:22
@Mico There are already a few answers about it, e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/382974/36296 – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 07 '18 at 15:24

@mldmnn, if you were serious in your question, just go to https://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&filter=all and notice who is the #1 all-time user here. egreg is at the pinnacle of the TeX food chain. – Steven B. Segletes Mar 07 '18 at 15:27

@mldmnn Another way to picture it is this, your profile, https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/156599/mldmnn, shows your presence on this site has reached a total of 28 people, at this moment. Compare it to https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg, which shows that, at the moment, egreg has reached a total of 33.7 million people by his presence here. One may not always agree with egreg's preferences, but one should never foolishly ignore his advice. Gravitas!!! – Steven B. Segletes Mar 07 '18 at 15:40
@StevenB.Segletes - If egreg is the equivalent of an Orca on TeX.SE, what are we? Dolphins? Sea lions? Baby seals?! – Mico Mar 07 '18 at 17:30

@StevenB.Segletes The food chain theory makes total sense! It also explains why David Carlisle has the second most rep, because egregdoesnotlikepinapplepizza, thus he is safe from the food chain – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 07 '18 at 17:32

Unlike the rest of us cud-chewing ruminators on the TeX prairie. Mere sport for the apex predators. – Steven B. Segletes Mar 07 '18 at 17:40

Best option name ever! – egreg Mar 07 '18 at 18:40

I must be at the bottom of the chain since I'm vegan. – cfr Mar 08 '18 at 04:30
That's what I'd call an "egregious" option! :) – gusbrs Apr 25 '18 at 15:49
