By using the key value \texttt{fontset=$\cdots$} in the \verb|\documentclass| command, you can select a different set of fonts. Ten fontsets are predefined, including the default set (see Table~\ref{tab:2}). Three work only with \pdfTeX, four work only with unicode engines, and three work with either. These options include a mixture of serif or sans serif text and math fonts, as shown in the table. To access the predefined font sets, you \textit{must} have the directory \texttt{fontsets} as a subdirectory of your working directory, including its files as named. -Among the predefined fonts, Termes and NewTX are serifed fonts similar to the digital font Times New Roman. STIX Two is more similar to the original metal-type Times font. Linux Libertine is a serif font inspired by 19\textsuperscript{th} century book type. Lucida is a serifed font designed for high legibility at small size or on low resolution devices. This font is excellent for mathematics and includes a complete bold-face math font, but it is not free. Heros and NewTX-sans are sans-serif text fonts similar to Helvetica. NewTXsf is a sans-serif math font which draws upon glyphs from the STIX font. Fira is a humanist sans-serif text font designed in association with the Firefox browser. Finally, Computer Modern (and its extension Latin Modern)---the traditional ``\LaTeX\ font''---is a Didone font, with high contrast between thick and thin elements. +Among the predefined fonts, Termes and NewTX are serifed fonts similar to the digital font Times New Roman.
