I found the solution using the package plnfss - it's probably very similar to the LaTeX font selection scheme. I created a file jluag.tex %ag is for AvantGarde \input plnfss \input ot1cm.pfd % plain font description file for CM fonts %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \selectfont % activate the font with requested attributes \usefont{OT1}{pag}{m}{n} % switch to AvantGarde; the fd file ot1utl.fd will For other fonts, search for files like "ot*.fd" The syntax seems to be LaTeX2e font selection "\usefont {encoding} {family} {series} {shape} " http://tex.loria.fr/general/new/fntguide.html The {series} {shape} parameters required some experimentation for me, but probably obvious LaTeX font gurus.
