      Using Linotype's "ITC Charter" typeface family
                         with LaTeX

The name of the font family Linotype ITC Charter is "lch".
Thus, the command

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{lch}
  
makes LaTeX use ITC Charter as the default roman font
family.

|  Notice that ITC Charter is supported with T1 (european)
|  and TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should 
|  issue the commands
|
|    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
|    \usepackage{textcomp}
|
|  in the document preamble.  The obsolete OT1 encoding,
|  which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_
|  supported.


Math typesetting:

The Charter text fonts blend well with the Lucida New Math
fonts, which can be used through the package lucbmath.
Notice that the Lucida fonts need to be scaled down to 90%
so as to match Charter.  The below code sample changes also
the typewriter font to Lucida Typewriter sans:

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{lch}
  \usepackage[expert]{lucbmath}
  \def\DeclareLucidaFontShape#1#2#3#4#5#6{%
    \DeclareFontShape{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{<->s*[.9]#5}{#6}}
  \renewcommand{\ttdefault}{hlst}

(Notice that the Lucida fonts are a commercial product; they
are _not_ available in your LaTeX system, unless you have
actually puchased them!)


NFSS classification:

  family  series  shape(s)    PostScript FontName
  ---------------------------------------------------
  lch     m       n, it, sc   CharterITC-Regu,     
                              CharterITC-ReguItal,
                              CharterITC-ReguSC  
  lch     b       n, it, sc   CharterITC-Bold,     
                              CharterITC-BoldItal,
                              CharterITC-BoldSC  

Encodings:  T1 (Cork), TS1 (Textcompanion).  The TS1
encoding comprises only those gylphs that belong to the
ISO-Adobe character set, plus the \texteuro.
