How to use \usepackage{garamond} with Classic Thesis?

Question

I've been working with classicthesis for a few weeks now for my thesis and I would like to use the following package instead of the Palatino font: \usepackage{garamond}

You certainly know that, in order to use it, you have to write this piece of code before writing anything in the body, just after \begin{document}: \garamond

It works with a simple test made with the article class (or even book), but it does not work with Classicthesis. Therefore, here is my question: Where do I have to put \usepackage{garamond} in the preamble? Do I have to change directly classicthesis.sty?

This is the code of my preamble :

% book example for classicthesis.sty
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,footinclude=true,headinclude=true]{scrbook} % KOMA-Script book
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Answer 1

On TeXLive 2014, there is no garamond.sty, but ebgaramond.sty. Just include it after \usepackage{classicthesis} to 'guarantee`, that the font change is activated.

\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage{classicthesis}

\usepackage{ebgaramond}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\Large
\chapter{Garamond}%

\blindtext[10]

\end{document}

Answer 2

I have already seen the garamond package, but in my opinion it's not the best option.

There are other options available, in particular for better supporting math.

1. \usepackage{ebgaramond,newtxmath,ebgaramond-maths}

   

2. \usepackage{ebgaramond}\usepackage[ugm]{mathdesign}

   

3. \usepackage{garamondx} (requires installing the font with getnonfreefonts)

   

Here's the source

\documentclass[10pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[eulerchapternumbers]{classicthesis}

% option 1
%\usepackage{ebgaramond,newtxmath,ebgaramond-maths}

% option 2
%\usepackage{ebgaramond}\usepackage[ugm]{mathdesign}

% option 3
\usepackage{garamondx}

\usepackage{kantlipsum}

\begin{document}
\chapter{Garamond}

We start with a known formula
\[
\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}}\,dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}.
\]
\kant[2]
