Loading of the package ulgothic.txt + + \usepackage{ulgothic} + +makes LaTeX use them as the default typewriter font family, +i.e., the font family that is used with \ttfamily or +\texttt. + +Notice that the URW Letter Gothic fonts are supported with +T1 (european) and TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you +should issue the commands + + \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} + \usepackage{textcomp} + +in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which +is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported. + +The Letter Gothic fonts appear somewhat larger than many +other font families, when used at the same nominal size. +This can be fixed by loading the package so with the option +[scaled=...]. For instance, + + \usepackage[scaled=0.9]{ulgothic} + +loads the Letter Gothic fonts, scaled down to 90% of their +"natural" size. Omitting the factor, i.e., + + \usepackage[scaled]{ulgothic} + +selects a default scaling of 85%, which makes the height of +the letters match CM typewriter. + + +NFSS classification: + +encodings family series shape(s) FontName(s) +-------------------------------------------------------- +T1, TS1 ulg m n, it LetterGothic-Bol, + LetterGothic-BolIta + +Note that the series "m" is assigned to a set of "Bold" +fonts, because they are not very dark and blend blend well +with the normal series of other typeface families.
