NAME
font - typesetter fonts
DESCRIPTION
Listed below are some of the more common (or more cryptically named)
typesetter fonts.
In the directories and are kept tables for fonts available on some or
all of the Autologic APS-5 phototypesetter, the Mergenthaler Linotron
202 phototypesetter, the Canon laser printer, and the Teletype 5620
terminal running under mux(9.1). Those directories may be consulted
for the current list of offerings.
Most fonts come in families, e.g. (italic), (bold), (bold italic),
(demi-bold, `black') (demi-bold italic). For the 5620 and the Canon
there is a separate font table for each point size, e.g.
In troff fonts must be `mounted' in a `font position'. The default set
is R I B BI H HB HK CW CH S for the 202 and the Canon and R I B H CW S
S1 GR for the APS-5. Other fonts may be mounted with the request.
Fonts with long names must be given aliases; see the troff manual.
