Fonts

Recommend converting to the more modern T1 font encoding before changing to any of these fonts:²

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Old Style:

%Math is in CM
\usepackage{bookman}

\usepackage{mathpazo}
%or
\usepackage{pxfonts}

%Math is in CM
\usepackage{garamond}

Transitional:

\usepackage{txfonts}

\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}

\usepackage{fourier}

\usepackage{newcent}

Sans Serif Fonts:

\usepackage{helvet}

\usepackage{arev}

\usepackage{avant}
\sf % Then right after document class to get into sans serif
\rm % If you want to go back to roman font

\usepackage[math]{iwona}

Not in texlive:

\usepackage{fouriernc}

\renewcommand*\sfdefault{uop}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}

Useful Stuff

\usepackage{fullpage}

\usepackage{hanging}
%At Text:
\begin{hangparas}{.25in}{1} %Indent Size, line to start indenting
  Paragraph to be hanging indented

  Another paragraph to be hanging indented
\end{hangparas}

\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.png,.gif,.jpg}

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{colortbl}
%Then use:
\cellcolor{red}
\rowcolor{blue}
...

To make a CV or resume, the moderncv package is nice. To make exams or homework, the exam package is useful.

Display Git Info at top of Page

\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames,svgnames,table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{gitinfo}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{ %
  \fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
  \fancyhead[L]{\textcolor{light-gray}{\scriptsize Document Draft}}
  \fancyhead[R]{\textcolor{light-gray}{\scriptsize Git Commit: \texttt{\gitAbbrevHash{} \gitCommitterIsoDate{} \gitReferences{}}}}
  \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

\fancypagestyle{empty}{ %

  \fancyhead[L]{\textcolor{light-gray}{\scriptsize Document Dissertation Draft}}
  \fancyhead[R]{\textcolor{light-gray}{\scriptsize Git Commit: \texttt{\gitAbbrevHash{} \gitCommitterIsoDate{} \gitReferences{}}}}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}
\pagestyle{plain}

In addition to the text recommended for git hooks in the gitinfo manual, append this line:

sed -i "s/\_/\\\_/g" $pref/gitHeadInfo.gin
