Switch font after ToC in memoir

Question

I have a long document (thesis) and I would like to use two different fonts. For the first part, containing the front page and table of contents, I would like to use mathpazo. After that, I would like to switch to the default font of TeX. Here is a MWE showing the structure and where I want to switch:

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}

\begin{document}  
    Front page

  \clearpage
  \tableofcontents
  \clearpage

    %%
    %The default font of LaTeX should be used from here and onwards
    %%

    \section{Main section 1}
    Text ....
    \section{Main section 2}
    Text ....
    \section{Main section 3}
    Text ....1

\end{document}

What is the best way to do this? And how do I switch to the normal font after the ToC?

Answer 1

One way can be not to touch the global font commands by loading mathpazo in your preamble. You can switch the font locally inside a group:

\documentclass{memoir}

\begin{document}  

\begingroup
  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pplx}
  \normalfont
  Front page

  \clearpage
  \tableofcontents
  \clearpage
\endgroup

\section{Main section 1}
Text ....
\section{Main section 2}
Text ....
\section{Main section 3}
Text ....1

\end{document}
