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>
|
||||
<item>Its name (roman, pandora, concrete, etc.).
|
||||
<\description>
|
||||
<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,
|
||||
small, etc.).
|
||||
<item*|Size>The font <em|size> in points.
|
||||
</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.).
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
The font browser also provides a way to quickly select fonts based on
|
||||
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>
|
||||
<with|mode|math|2\<varepsilon\>>, the font name and family are only one
|
||||
(namely, the family). Notice also that the base font size is specified for
|
||||
the entire document in <apply|menu|Document|Font|Size>.
|
||||
<\description>
|
||||
<item*|Weight>The font <em|weight> corresponds to the ``thickness'' of
|
||||
the font:

|

<item*|Slant>The font <em|slant> determines the angle of the font:

<item*|Serif>This feature corresponds to the projecting features called
|
||||
``serifs'' at the end of strokes:

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).
