How can I go back to the default font after using \sf?

Question

e.mccormick · Answer

On OS or in general?

theeric · Answer

Just on OS, thanks!

theeric · Answer

For some of the fonts, brackets don't contain only the select text you want to change. So I'd want to change back.

But I couldn't find the default font, so I though I'd ask!

e.mccormick · Answer

Only what is in { } should be changed.  Or if you mean for resizing, $\Huge Huge\normalsize normalsize $ `$\Huge Huge\normalsize normalsize $`

e.mccormick · Answer

Hmm... brackets not containing it?  Odd.

e.mccormick · Answer

Which fonts are you seeing that with?

theeric · Answer

`\it` is close, but not quite the same. Plus,
$normal[]\left[\right]\rightarrow\it it[]\left[\right]$

theeric · Answer

thomasters tutorial mentioned the two fonts that did contain the text! I think \boldsymbol was one, and I forget the other.

theeric · Answer

In
$normal[]\left[\right]\rightarrow\it it[]\left[\right]$
The first pair of brackets for each is just typing, and the next are `\left[\right]`

theeric · Answer

\it seems to condense the letters some, but the letters look similar otherwise.

e.mccormick · Answer

$\it Italic$
$\rm Roman$
Hmmm....  I think it supposed to be \em or \sl but I do not see them as working.

theeric · Answer

Thanks for giving it a shot :)

e.mccormick · Answer

$\it Italic \normalfont normalfont$  =(

theeric · Answer

Haha, I wish it was that easy, like 
ormalsize !

e.mccormick · Answer

It is supposed to be. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Fonts

theeric · Answer

$regular \\Roman   {regular}$

theeric · Answer

Is that the normal font? I guess it looks the same!

theeric · Answer

$[]\sf[]\Roman []$It does nothing, huh. I thought it had in the live reply for a moment..

e.mccormick · Answer

$\tt asdf$  Hmm..  tt works.
$\it Italic~ \rm rm \leftarrow $ rm for roman.

theeric · Answer

Oh, thanks!

theeric · Answer

This may remain a mystery for ages..

e.mccormick · Answer

Well, these are the old commands so I'm surprised MathJax even supported them.

theeric · Answer

I'm not up to date on all this stuff!

theeric · Answer

Thanks! Take care!

e.mccormick · Answer

This has more the new stuff int he editor. Easy place to prototype and copy over. It does support a few things that here does not, but a lot of it works fine. http://www.codecogs.com/eqneditor
