Suppose you’re writing an anonymous letter. Nice looking LaTeX fonts would be a bad choice because they stand out and create quite a bit of uniqueness. I figure MS Word is probably the most popular. So I had a look at the wordlike package. It’s dated 2006 and gives an error on this line: \renewcommand{\@dotsep}{1} To hack around it, I tried putting this in my preamble: \makeatletter \newcommand{\@dotsep}{1} % hack to avoid wordlike.sty error \makeatother That attempt at a hack has no effect. Any ideas? Regarding the click bait title… I have not yet had the need for making ransom demands which should probably use a genuine MS Word. But whistle blowing should be quasi-pseudo-anonymous to some extent. I thought wordlike would suffice. Of course I’m open to other approaches. Maybe just switching to a sans serif font would do. The last answer on this page looks interesting but does not work with pdflatex… only XeTex. There is another non-wordlike approach on this page I might play with. ## Update It turns out the wordlike package is incompatible with the scrlttr2 class. So wordlike works if you give up the letter features.
