temporarily change fonts in latex with T1 font

Question

Hello,

I want to temporarily change fonts in latex, to arev. Usually, this would work, as described here:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
{\fontencoding{T1}\fontfamily{arev} the font is temporarily changed}
\end{document}

it doesnt though, and I think it has to do with the fact that arev is a T1 font. I think I need to specify more?

Thanks in advance for any advice, I appreciate it!

Try:

{\fontencoding{T1}\fontfamily{arev}\selectfont
Arev looks like this}.
