@Alan: It is definitely similar. I interpreted this question as being more about which obscure combination of characters makes up the font family name for Chancery. In this case, it is pzc.– TH.Mar 7, 2011 at 6:12

You can change the font family using \fontfamily.
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand*\chancery{\fontfamily{pzc}\selectfont}
\begin{document}
Normal Computer Modern. {\chancery Chancery.} Back to CM.
\end{document}

@Regis: If you are using XeLaTeX see also this answer which shows a similar but simpler approach using
fontspec. Mar 7, 2011 at 7:32 -
1This answer got me wondering.. Is there some kind of manual or document that contains a list of all these font families? I know the, but that's only for document wide font changes. I'd like to have a list of existing fonts with their shorthand names (like
pzcin your example).– romeovsMar 7, 2011 at 13:48 -
@romeovs: We were actually just contemplating this on meta. I'm unaware of such a document. I just looked in
chancery.styto figure out the answer to this question. I think you should ask a question asking for exactly that list. What I'd like is a list of fonts, the packages to use for them, and the font family names for them as well.– TH.Mar 7, 2011 at 16:06 -
@romeovs for the standard fonts, the document
psnfss2e.pdf(texdoc psnfssshould find it). For all of the possible fonts there is the online LaTeX Font Catalogue. For XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX the available fonts are any fonts installed in your system. Mar 7, 2011 at 18:55 -
The above code works but not when I change pzc to something else? Aug 31, 2015 at 11:32
