In <apply|TeXmacs>, fonts have five main characteristics: In <TeXmacs>, the global document font can be specified using
<menu|Document|Font>. It is also possible to locally use another font using
<menu|Format|Font>. Both <menu|Document|Font> and <menu|Format|Font> open
the <TeXmacs> font browser. Fonts have three main characteristics:
<\itemize> <\description>
<item>Its name (roman, pandora, concrete, etc.). <item*|Family>Fonts are grouped together into <em|families> with a
similar design.
<item>Its family (roman, typewriter or sans serif). <item*|Shape>Inside the same font family, individual fonts have different
<em|shapes>, such as bold, italic, small capitals, etc.
<item>Its size (a base size (in points) and a relative size (normal, <item*|Size>The font <em|size> in points.
small, etc.). </description>
<item>Its series (bold, medium or light). The user may directly specify these three characteristics in the font
browser, which also displays some sample text for the selected font.
<item>Its shape (right, italic, small caps, etc.). The font browser also provides a way to quickly select fonts based on
</itemize> desirable font properties. For instance, by filtering on a ``bold weight''
and ``sans serif'', one may find a bold sans serif font which mixes as well
as possible with the main font. <TeXmacs> allows you to filter on the
following criteria:
Notice that in the font selection system of <apply|LaTeX> <\description>
<with|mode|math|2\<varepsilon\>>, the font name and family are only one <item*|Weight>The font <em|weight> corresponds to the ``thickness'' of

Each of the above properties really constitutes a <em|hint> on how the kind
of font which <em|should> be used. If no suitable font can be found, then
setting these properties may have no effect. Whenever you apply one or more
filters, the font browser indicates which fonts match the selected
properties. It also indicates the closest match for the current font in
use. When pressing the <menu|Ok> button without selecting any particular
matching font, then the selected font properties will be inserted as
<TeXmacs> markup and used as rendering hints. In that case, the rendering
may change when selecting another global document font (for instance).
