Should one use fourier with erewhon?

TeX - LaTeX Asked on June 29, 2021

Consider the following MWE.

documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}

usepackage{fourier} 
usepackage{erewhon}

begin{document}

This is my offer.

end{document}

The output looks as follows:

If instead one comments usepackage{erewhon}, one obtains this other result:

Look at the ff of the word ‘offer’. It’s obvious that they differ. Other than that, though, I haven’t found much difference between using fourier alone or fourier with erewhon (they’re just slightly, very slightly, different). Then, my question is three-fold:

  1. What’s the case for fourier and the case for fourier plus erewhon?

  2. Is this different ff intended or buggy?

  3. If intended, which of the ff is typographically better, if any (and for what reasons)?

PS: the question comes from @egreg’s suggestion in her answer to this question, but I thought that asking this here could be useful to other fourier potential users.

Thank you all very much in advanced for your time.

One Answer

Since the question is really old and none of those who commented posted an answer, I'll do it myself. Given the comments to the OP, I would say that the best approach is to use

usepackage[utopia]{newtxmath}
usepackage{erewhon}

This is the font setup I use in most of my documents and I'm very happy with it.
