I would like to change font for the chess symbols, but it doesn't work. I have tried to copy the code on the documentation of chessfss but with doesn't work. Can you help me, please? Herewith, my minimal example. (In the document where this is going to be used I use XeLaTeX).

% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{chessfss}


\begin{document}


\setfigfontfamily{maya}
\setboardfontsize{20pt}
\boardfont
KkQkRrBbNnPp


\end{document}

If you want to select a figurine font you should use \figfont not \boardfont. But the pfb-files for maya are not in the enpassant package on CTAN (due to licensing reasons), you would have to create them manually. With e.g. pirat you can do this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{chessfss}
\pdfmapfile{=chess-enpassant.map} %perhaps needed ...
\begin{document}
{\setfigfontfamily{pirat}
 \figfont
 KQRBNP}


{\setboardfontfamily{pirat}
 \boardfont
 KkQkRrBbNnPp}


\end{document}

  • Thank you! I confess I haven't understood how the package works properly! I don't want necessarily to use the figurines in maya, but I don't like the default one. By any chance, do you know where is a list of fonts available that I can possibly choose? – Logos Nov 29 '20 at 20:20

    well chessfonts_gallery.pdf (in the chessfss package) shows all fonts I converted. But I think I didn't add which fonts are on ctan, so you will have to try. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 29 '20 at 20:24
