Org Mode LaTeXFonts

Hi, wondering if a fellow emacs user could help.
I'm trying to get my org-mode setup to export latex documents using arial. I installed arial using getnonfreefonts and writing out a tex file and putting the relevant /usepackage commands in the header works.

In Emacs I edited Org Format Latex Header to include

\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault} %% Only if the base font of the document is to be sans serif

.
I also edited the Org Export Latex Packages Alist to include  scaled uarial. The default list already contains T1 fontenc.

But when I export, the header does not include

\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault} %% Only if the base font of the document is to be sans serif

and does not export with Arial font. (I need Arial as a requirement for work).

Everything else about org mode has been left as was when installed.

I can provide info such as export to pdf processes and such if it's required

[EDIT] If it helps this is the corresponding section of my .emacs:

 
  '(org-export-latex-packages-alist (quote (("scaled" "uarial" nil) ("" "babel" nil))))
 '(org-format-latex-header "\\documentclass{article}
\\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\\usepackage{amsmath}
\\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}
\\pagestyle{empty}             % do not remove
[PACKAGES]
[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\\renewcommand*\\familydefault{\\sfdefault}
% The settings below are copied from fullpage.sty
\\setlength{\\textwidth}{\\paperwidth}
\\addtolength{\\textwidth}{-3cm}
\\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{1.5cm}
\\addtolength{\\oddsidemargin}{-2.54cm}
\\setlength{\\evensidemargin}{\\oddsidemargin}
\\setlength{\\textheight}{\\paperheight}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-\\headheight}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-\\headsep}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-\\footskip}
\\addtolength{\\textheight}{-3cm}
\\setlength{\\topmargin}{1.5cm}
\\addtolength{\\topmargin}{-2.54cm}"))

Thanks,
Ben.

Re: Org Mode LaTeXFonts

I have a furthur issue now that an org file like so:

#+TITLE:Dissertation Data Analysis
#+AUTHOR: Ben J. Ward
#+OPTIONS: num:nil ^:nil f:nil
#+BABEL: :session *R* :results silent
#+LATEX_CLASS: article
#+LATEX_HEADER: \renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}
#+begin_src R :exports results
evolution <- read.csv(file="~/Evolution Results.csv", header=T)
library("lattice")
#+end_src

* Visualization of Data
** Overall trend in Minimum inhibitory concentration values over time.
#+srcname:fig1
#+begin_src R :results output :exports results :file fig1.pdf
 xyplot(MIC.~Challenge, data=evolution)
#+end_src

#attr_latex: width=0.8\textwidth,placement=[p]
#+label: fig:one
#+caption: Fig1. Overall increace in MIC values as challenges continue.
#+results: fig1
[[file:fig1.pdf]]

Results in a blank pdf, other than the title and author, and a .tex file like thus:

% Created 2010-12-11 Sat 21:17
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\tolerance=1000
\usepackage[scaled]{uarial}
\usepackage{babel}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\providecommand{\alert}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

\title{Dissertation Data Analysis}
\author{Ben J. Ward}
\date{11 December 2010}

\begin{document}

\maketitle



\end{document}

Is anyone wise in the working of org and babel that might help me? (I know how to use it, not so much fixing it)

Thanks,
Ben.

Re: Org Mode LaTeXFonts

I have had trouble with Arial. It doesn't seem to compile correctly Had to change to TeX Gyre Adventor. I have no idea why.

I don't know why either, but if you're going to go with a TG font, TeX Gyre Heros (tgheros) would be a much closer match.
