I am trying to compose with *TeX a document that looks like a GDR manual. Basically I need to set a different font, style and color for chapter, section, subsection and subsubsection labels.
It is quite easy to change the color and style: I exploited, for instance, specific commands of the xcolor and titlesec packages (namely definecolor and titleformat, if you ask).
Since I mainly use LaTeX to compose scientific papers (where the font is quite standard), I just recently started to look for ways to have different fonts inside a document.
According to the information that I managed to retrieve, the easiest way to change the font is to use XeTeX/LuaTeX and fontspec. But how am I supposed to change each single sectioning style? I have only found references about how to change the default, sf, sc, etc. font.
Is there any better way to set font, style and color with respect to my goal? How do I change file size to a give value in points?
Moreover, can I place the "Chapter N" and "Name of the Chapter" parts of a chapter sectioning wherever I want? I would like to obtain the same effect as here, where "Trade Dress" should be "Chapter N" and "STATEMENT", instead, the "Name of the Chapter".
\newfontface\sctitle[Color=ff000000]{Linux Biolinum Bold}\titleformat{\section}{\sctitle\Large}{\thesection~}{0pt}{}(and analogous ones for subsections, chapters...) give the effect that you are looking for? – guillem Jan 17 at 14:53*.ttffile on the directory/home/<your username>/.fonts/and wait a few seconds. That's what I did anyway. On the other hand, thefontspecpackage offers the optionExternalLocation, so you can alternatively use\newfontface\sctitle[Color=ff000000,ExternalLocation=/font/path/here/]{font name.ttf}. Mind the last/on the font path! – guillem Jan 18 at 6:52
