Using URW Grotesk in headers for page numbers

TeX - LaTeX Asked on May 17, 2021

I want to use URW Grotesk in the header. The format I want is:
RE chapter name LE page number, LO section name, RO page number.

I have modified the example given in fancyhdr documentation to change the font to required one. I have managed to get the section and chapter name in the required font, but am unable to change the font for thepage and it defaults to main font of the document. How can one change the page number font as well?

MWE

documentclass{book}


usepackage{fancyhdr}

renewcommand{chaptermark}[1]%
{markboth{{fontfamily{ugq}selectfont #1}}{}}
renewcommand{sectionmark}[1]%
{markright{{fontfamily{ugq}selectfont #1}}}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt}
renewcommand{footrulewidth}{0pt}
newcommand{grotsq}{%
fontfamily{ugq}footnotesizeselectfont}
fancyhf{}
fancyhead[LE,RO]{grotsq thepage} % this seems to have no effect
fancyhead[LO]{grotsq rightmark}
fancyhead[RE]{grotsq leftmark}

usepackage{lipsum}


begin{document}

chapter{The Start}
section{alpha}
lipsum
lipsum
lipsum
section{beta}
lipsum
lipsum


end{document}

One Answer

You're missing pagestyle{fancy}. Without that, you get the page style headings which ignores the definitions from the fancyhdr package.

(You're getting the URW Grotesk for the chapter title because you added the fontfamily...selectfont command to the markboth command which you probably don't want to do).
