Using SwitchDefault works for kurier and kurier light. But for both I
would also have to add \renewcommand{\bfdefault}{b} to the preamble.
I don't think this is necessary, because the font definition files
(at least "t1kurier.fd" for T1) contain the usual substitutions:...
Thanks for having a look.
It is strange why the kurier.sty file then do \renewcommand{\bfdefault}{b}
albeit this is not necessary.
The edef just adds c to the \rmdefault established by the option
regular vs light to ensure the orthogonality of the options.
This means you can write
+Font kurierc...
Many thanks for this hint. Jürgen kindly already changed this.
The next problem is that
\usepackage[math]{kurier}
activates the kurier math font. But as I cannot use kurier.sty, I would
have to add the most of kurier.sty's content to the preamble.
Using kurier as math font is only sensible if kurier is also the document
default font.
I don't think so. Personally I like my document being typeset in a serif font but only math should
use the nice-looking kurier math font.
There are 2 use cases:
1. It seems the package authors intended it to be combined with a
different sans-serif rather than a serif font, as the package replaces
\rmdefault.
But I think that this is a bug. If I want to have all my test in sansserif I can change
\familydefault or set everything into \textsf. But it cannot be the idea to use a sansserif font for
serif stuff. I'll ask the package author about this.
2. Use a modified version of the definitions of kurier.sty to define a
"sans" math-version using the kurier math fonts.
That is quite a lot of code. I'll wait for the reply of the package author.
BTW: the "iwona" font is a similar "humanistic sans" font but somewhat
more "conservative" with closed strokes.
I have already seen this but this font package does exactly the same as the kurier package -
redefining \rmdefault. Therefore I did not yet act.
I'll provide a pathch to support it if the kurier question is resolved.
thanks and regards
Uwe
