LaTeX Font Selection
Recently I redesigned my default letter template in latex. I use the scrlttr2 package from the koma-script suite. In some .lco-file you may adjust a lot of settings.
But how to change the default font? And which fonts exist by the way?
First of all, I installed the texlive extra fonts:
apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra
In your document you select now the fontpackage if there is one. E.g.
\usepackage{charter}
And/Or you change the default font family:
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{bch}
Sometimes you have to do both. But who wants to read the manual for every font. Only to see, that this font is absolut awful...
The FontCatalogue on www.tug.dk helps you very much with the selection. You see for every font the syntax to include it and some text written with it. Perfect! Have a look at:

LaTeX hyphenation with babel package
I recently wrote a German paper with kile and LaTeX.
In the header, I included the folowing line:
\usepackage[ngerman] {babel}
But the hyphenation didn't work (or at least: it worked but made the hyphen elsewhere) and there came always one warning:
No hyphenation patterns were loaded for(babel) the language `ngerman'(babel) I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.
Problem solved: The tetex-extra package was missing or maybe texlive-lang-german would have been sufficiant.
apt-get install tetex-extra
