Abstract

A project to demonstrate installing and using a custom text font (TrueType format). Font files are stored in project folders and a latexmkrc file is used to ensure the LaTeX compiler can find font files in the project folders. Created to accompany an Overleaf help article. Tested with pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX.

Example: Using Folders to Manage Custom Font Files

% This example demonstrates adding a custom TrueType font
% to your Overleaf project. The custom font is Delphine, 
% which was sourced from https://sjfonts.sourceforge.net

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{iftex} % to access the \ifLuaTeX command

% NOTE: the following test is required for reasons explained
% in section 3 of The LuaTeX Reference Manual, available
% from CTAN: http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/doc/luatex/luatex.pdf

\ifLuaTeX
\protected\def\pdfmapline {\pdfextension mapline }
\fi

% Use \pdfmapline to update pdfteX's font map---telling it
% about our custom font Delphine. The syntax used in \pdfmapline
% is described in "The pdfTeX user manual" which is available on
% CTAN: http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/doc/pdftex/manual/pdftex-a.pdf

\pdfmapline{+delphine < Delphine.ttf <T1-WGL4.enc}

% Define a new command to use Delphine
\newcommand\delphinefont[1]{{\usefont{T1}{delphine}{m}{n} #1 }}
