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}   
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}    
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage{setspace} 
\usepackage{hyperref} 
\usepackage[tight,french]{minitoc}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[parts,pdfspacing,dottedtoc,eulerchapternumbers]{../classicthesis} % ,manychapters
%\usepackage[osf]{libertine}
\usepackage{ebgaramond}

  • usepackage{<packagename>} has always have to be in the preamble, you'll get an error otherwise. In this case i would say putting it after Package classicthesis should do the trick. Altough i haven't test, cause there is no code to test.

    Hi, I edited your post in order to give better formatting. Note that I deleted the personal stuff. This is just because we do like to have a clear question & answer structure here. In order to help you: You should provide some minimal compilable code for us. Nobody wants to set up a new document which might not replicate what you are having. Show some code and you will get help quickly.

  • There was a third one : \usepackage{ebgaramond}. That is the answer I tried and it works.

  • @domi: There was no 3rd one -- if so, I would see it;-)

  • Of course it was yours :-)) : "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." That is what I did.

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}

  • It works the way you indicate.

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}

    enter image description here

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

    enter image description here

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

    enter image description here

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]

\end{document}

  • I don't know the O.P.'s distribution, but garamondx is included in MiKTeX. Also, one drawback of eb-garamond is that it has no boldface font.

    @Bernard The absence of a boldface font is not a problem: nobody should use boldface Garamond to begin with. I use to say it's like Ben Hur wearing a wristwatch.

    @egreg: Buster Keaton did it in The Three Ages (actually , it was a wrist-sun dial:-). That said, one may need bold or semi-boldface Garamond for good reasons.
