%--- Set the font styles -----
% As of this writing, Rackham does not have strict font requirements, but they
% suggest "standard fonts" such as Times, Arial, or Times New Roman.
% In practice, they allow the default LaTeX font (Computer Modern).
% The fonts available to you depend on the typesetting engine you use, e.g.
% pdflatex (the overleaf default), xelatex, or lualatex.
% Set the font to whatever you like, as long as it's compatible with the tex
% engine you're using.
% More information from Overleaf on font selection with:
%     - pdflatex: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Font_typefaces
%     - xelatex: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/XeLaTeX
% See examples below depending on your engine and uncomment the usepackage
% commands and any subsequent commands as needed.
