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. `Souvenir', `SouvenirI'
(italic), `SouvenirB' (bold), `SouvenirBI' (bold italic),
`SouvenirBK' (demi-bold, `black') `SouvenirKI' (demi-bold
italic). For the 5620 and the Canon there is a separate
font table for each point size, e.g. `CW.11'.
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 `.fp' request. Fonts with long names
must be given aliases; see the troff manual.
