I am trying to create a presentation using latex (texmaker) - Beamer
I was wondering how to use segoe
font in latex. I searched the forums like crazy to install the fontspec
package but I had no luck.
Here is one link I have found. But, I could not get enough information.
If you really want to dive into using a variety of fonts with LaTeX, I strongly recommend you use the awesome fontspec package in combination with either XeTeX or LuaTeX. fontspec allows you to select any open type font (OTF) that you have installed on your machine using a command like:
\newfontfamily{\Segoe}{Segoe Script}
You can find lots of handwriting or calligraphy fonts on sites like FontSquirrel, e.g. here or here.
I also recommend you check out the documentation of the fontspec package because it demonstrates advanced uses of open type features (e.g. stylistic variants), especially with the Zapfino font.

Could some one please tell me how to install the fontspec package on Linux and texmaker
Thanks.
I see that we have to use XeTex package. But the style is not valid anymoroe in that case
MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\usepackage[british,UKenglish,USenglish,english,american]{babel}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newcommand{\tick}{\ding{52}}
Beamer
use Segoe, check out latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=11261fontspec
already is pre-installed. And XeTeX is not a package, but one of theoutput engines.
