<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi. I'm very new to LaTeX, having just
started working with it a few weeks ago. So please be patient with some
very basic questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I made a resume/CV using Andrew McNabb's really
interesting template at <A
href="http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/latexres/">http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/latexres/</A>
I've converted a resume I made with that to pdf, and am really happy with
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Now, of course, I need to make a cover
letter. I'd like my cover letter to have a similar font and formatting to
the resume I made from McNabb's template. How can I do this? How do
I change the default font for my document?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have made some sample letters using the built-in
"letter" document class, and scrlttr2, but I don't understand how to control the
font beyond [10/11/12pt] in the initial setting of the document class.
What else can I do to change the standard font of my letter?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Pointers to useful documents/tutorials would be
good also. I've found a lot of quite advanced treatises about fonts, but
nothing that just spells out for me how to set a default font for my document
and start writing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks. I really look forward to
understanding LaTeX someday, and maybe even varients of
it.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
