  • Welcome to TeX.SX! The font encoding has nothing to do with the font name. I do not know pylatex that well, but can't you simply include a font package (usepackage in LaTeX)?

  • According to the docs it is possible to append packages and raw LaTeX strings, but as this solely revolves around Python and a library I'm voting to close as off-topic. Maybe you should simply ask the question how to include a package as issue.

    Try doc.preamble.append(Command('usepackage', 'helvet')) in your python code.

  • @Skillmon Yes ! This works ! Thank you very much. I just had to add 'pl.' in front of 'Command' to make it work: 'doc.preamble.append(pl.Command('usepackage', 'helvet'))'

You can add stuff to your preamble using doc.preamble.append(). To add helvet to your preamble use:



doc.preamble.append(Command('usepackage', 'helvet'))


This needs



from pylatex import Command


to work out, if you imported pylatex and not only submodules and functions from it, use pylatex.Command instead.



From what I gathered by a quick look on the documentation of pylatex you might be able to add arbitrary stuff to your document (making a horizontal line possible) by doing:



from pylatex.utils import NoEscape


and then



doc.append(NoEscape(r'hrule')) # or whichever macro you want to use for your horizontal line


I'm not sure what NoEscape is needed for, perhaps it isn't needed, but I can't try because I don't have pylatex installed.

  • This is great ! Thank you very much ! Just a quick question: How can I change the thickness of the line ? I tried "doc.append(pl.Command('rule','0.4pt','linewidth'))" but it does not work.
