In order to select another than the default typeface in Latex environment, it is necessary to include some command in the preamble of the document.
Consider the following example:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[light,math]{iwona}
[edit] Useful example
Following is an useful example found at google discussion groups [1] . The example demonstrates how to select different fonts in a simple document.
\documentclass{book}
\newcommand\blah{blah blah blah blah blah }
\begin{document}
\blah \blah \blah \blah
\renewcommand*\rmdefault{ppl}\normalfont\upshape
\blah \blah \blah \blah
\renewcommand*\rmdefault{iwona}\normalfont\upshape
\blah \blah \blah \blah
\end{document}
[edit] XeTeX
XeTeX and fontspec simplify font management considerably.
