How is setmainfont used in fontspec Stack Exchange?
setmainfont sets up the main document font and common variants such as bold and italic if they are available, so it is usualy used in the preamble. fontspec actually selects a one-off font at the point of use.
When to use \\ setansfont vs \\ setmainfont?
A document might use sans serif fonts for certain parts (for instance, titles), so it’s much better to use \\setsansfont for deciding what font to use as sans serif. Similarly for the monospaced font, if at all used in the document.
Can you load a Japanese font in xecjk?
A rather primitive workaround is to just load a suitable Japanese font using fontspec. Of course this way the additional typesetting capabilities of the xeCJK package cannot be used. The resulting code would be as follows:
What do you do with the fontspec command?
These are the main font-selecting commands of this package. The \\fontspec command selects a font for one-time use; all others should be used to define the standard fonts used in a document, as shown in Example 1. The mentioned Example 1 does not really clarify much.
Is it OK to use \\ fontspec in LaTeX3?

This makes sense, since under (-webkit) “developer tools” in the “resources” tab, I only see the black-italic font loaded (second in my CSS file).
What do the different types of fonts mean?
Psychology of script fonts: Generally, script fonts evoke ideas of elegance, creativity, freedom, and femininity. Their curved and flourished styles also communicate a more hands-on, personal approach to business.
Do you have to specify a font path?
The path doesn’t have to be specified absolutely, so if you have your font (s) in e.g. texsource/fonts and your source is in texsource, you can use: Since it’s usually inadvisable to use the \\fontspec command directly, a more usual use would be to use one of the main font selecting commands, or ewfontfamily.
Why do I get error messages when I use fontspec?
At first it didn’t seem to work at all, but now I realized that it shows the following error messages when I implement \sepackage {fontspec} So it looks like it doesnt work, but when I press “show PDF” I can see that it actually worked… ? You can also see that in the log above, first some errors and then it says “Requested font
